I have a SCOTMALT "Ironmaster" Irish Stout kit, (It was a gift): 4 lb can of extract, 1 pkg of yeast and a packet of Iso-Hop extract. On the can label it sez "No Boil" and the instructions say just add boiling water to the extract and IsoHop extract.
Reading the ingredients on the label, I think the extract is hopped. As it sez it includes hop extract and Iso-hop extract. The label lists the OG as 1.040-1.044; no mention of IBUs.
I've never done a kit before. I'm leery of the "No Boil" bit; I will probably boil it anyway.
I'd like to add my own hops, but with out any info regarding the IBUs in the ISO-hops or the extract, I probably won't. I will add my own yeast.
Anyone familiar with this kit? Any suggestions?
