A beer kit like the Bulldog Brews Bad Cat Imperial Red is a new brainchild in the home brew marketplace.
It has not been achievable in the past to produce such an extreme beer kit.
Due to the recent improvements in dry beer yeasts, it is now possible (but costly) to produce 4.7 kgs of malt extract in a package, something most standard beer yeast cannot handle.
The result is amazing.
The Bad Cat Imperial Red will take you where no cat or dog has been before.
One of the best homebrew beer kits.
