Bad Cat Imperial Red 4.7 Kg Beer Kit
A beer kit such as the Bulldog Brews Bad Cat Imperial Red is a new concept on the home brew market. It hasn't been possible in the past to produce such an extreme beer kit. Due to the recent improvements in dry beer yeasts, it is now possible (but very expensive) to ferment 4.7 kgs of malt extract in a kit, something most standard beer yeast can not handle. The result is stunning. The Bad Cat will take you where no cat or dog has been before. One of the best home brew beer kits.

Customer reviews
This is by far the most active brew I've ever done. Ive had to install a blow off tube, as the normal little guys, just can't handle it. It's still going crazy a week in! Can't wait to try this.

Really Impressive Bad Cat!
Probably the most impressive brew I've ever made and possibly just by chance as, on the day I was due to bottle it, I realised I'd forgotten to add the hops so left it for a few days more than planned in the primary fermenter! All in all, it was in the primary fermenter for 24 days before bottling and has been in bottles now for a further 3 weeks. Surprisingly easy to drink for such a strong brew but beware - any more than 2x500ml bottles of this in one sitting and you're asking for trouble! It's also the first brew I've ever made that actually pours clear, a beautiful dark red. Really smooth to drink with an amazing & unexpected fruity aftertaste. I'm going to get another batch of this on as soon as I can. Would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it yet and would also say not to be afraid to let it ferment away for 3 weeks or even more - it will be worth the wait.
