This \u003cstrong\u003eBest Bitter recipe kit\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Best Bitter, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest bitter is the everyday ale of the English pub, poured from the cask at cellar temperature and meant to be drunk by the pint rather than sipped. It sits a notch above ordinary bitter in strength. It pours amber, with a firm bready malt base and enough hop bitterness to stay dry through the finish. Fuggle and East Kent Goldings give it the earthy, slightly floral note that marks the classic English hop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalance is the whole point. Nothing dominates, and the beer stays drinkable across a long evening. Maris Otter carries the malt while a small charge of pale chocolate deepens the color without adding real roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Best Bitter recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
