Blackout Dark Ale Recipe Kit

This recipe is an Aussie Brewmakers original. It is a ‘take’ on the Tooheys Old and Carlton Black ‘Dark Ale’ commercial offerings.

Careful consideration should be given to over consumption of this full flavoured dark ale or a full ‘blackout’ will ensue.

This recipe is another great introduction to experimenting with hops and grains for the beginner or ‘tin kit’ brewer.
