• New Preboiled Extract Means a Quick 30 Minute Boil
• New Choice of Optional Liquid or Dry Yeast
With its origin from countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, Baltic Porter is a strong porter style brewed with lager yeast, relatively low in hop flavor, and darkened with debittered dark malts to avoid all but a hint of roast malt character. It is a perfect platform to showcase pale and darker malt in a rich cocoa coffee-like smoothness, without violating the delicate balance with too many hops or too much roast malt. Alcohol level is approximately 6.5%, IBU’s 32.
Includes 9 pounds of our blended malt extract, flavoring and aromatic hops, and carbonating corn sugar. Needed yeast not included, order separately above. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity or at least 1.070.
Yeast recommendations:
1. Lalbrew NovaLager Dry Yeast for the smoothest flavor and a forgiving temperature range.
2. Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager Liquid Yeast for a smooth flavor if you can keep the temperature below 68 degrees F.

Q: what yeas would you suggest using with this style?
A: The kit includes 2124 Wyeast Bohemian Lager, which during many test tasting, found to be best for the style, considering most people will ferment this kit at warner ale temperatures.
Baltic Porter
Love it! One of my favorites from Williams. Everyone I shared it with was impressed. Would brew it again.
Baltic Porter (aged in whiskey barrel)
This is a great stand alone, but I let this age for 4 months in the 5 gallon whiskey barrel you sell, and it turned out awesome! Kegged perfectly.
