Big Brew 2014 Split Open and Melt Recipe Kit Pat Craddock grew his own Chinook and East Kent Goldings hops to brew this recipe for an Imperial Stout. Pat notes that any Phish fans out there will know where the inspiration for the name of the beer comes from! A big bold Imperial Stout. The sweet chocolaty backbone is balanced nicely with the bitterness of the hops. Dry yeast is optional, but original recipe calls for Wyeast or White Labs.
