Oh, and I ended up using 4g of brewing sugar/500ml rather than the planned carb drops. How about you?

Looking good Coopsy:thumb: I also bottled on Saturday and had a FG of 1.005 so I am expecting the ABV to be 4.5% The liquorice is distintive in mine also but hopefully not too much to overpower the maltiness, but then I do like liquorice. Will be checking the taste in a couple of weeks :drink:

Hi Lee, I'm not an expert but would it be possible to prime this with something like Dark Muscovado sugar to add some deeper flavour?

Update. Still have this in the FV, no regular activity noted. I have taken a gravity reading and getting 1.005 so I am expecting the ABV to be 4.5% The stout looks to be clearing but is quite flat, hopefully this will improve in the bottle. The liquorice flavour is very noticable. Not...

I dont know the answer to your question (but I would boil & strain then add to the mix with the sugar etc), but let us know how it goes, it sounds tasty :thumb:

Hi coopsy. Good luck with this, I cant wait for mine to be ready. I dont know how the powder compares to the sticks I used but with 2x 10g sticks I can really taste it in my 1st gravity reading after 6 days. You might want to hold back a bit unless you really want a strong liquorice taste...

Took the first gravity reading tonight, showing 1.006 which will work out to around 4.4% (and still might increase) which I am happy with. The beer is nice and dark and still a little cloudy. It has a slight smell of liquorice and a good taste of it too, more than I expected. I assume this may...

It will. I have seen info suggesting you add 0.5 to your abv to get the final abv.

After some v good advice from those who know, I added this contraption. Worked a dream. A day later it is bubbling like normal. Cant wait !!

The next morning, the thing was a beast.:party:

So, I used 500g Spray Malt Medium, 500g Brewing Sugar and about 200g Dark Muscovado Sugar. Went into the FV and was at 25 degrees when I took the OG (1.035)

Right, got this going on Thursday after much pontification. I added 2x 10g hard liquoerice sticks to the boil plus for good measure 2x star anise and about 2 tea spoons of caraway seeds. Unfortunately I let it boil again after adding the sugar, hope that doesnt hurt it :hmm:.

So far, it looks like you are right. Looks under control :party: Cheers

Cheers Chippy_Tea, I'm going to have a go but I think the foam will fill up any bottle I use :(

Thanks WER, I'm going to give this a go. The amount coming out, however, leads me to think it may fill up quickly :-(

Hi. I've just started my Coopers Stout (with liquorice) yesterday and overnight the thing kind of erupted, foam still coming out of the airlock. What should I do? Thanks

Just found this for anyone interested: https://www.coopers.com.au/coopers-forum/topic/12711/

I have done this kit recently. It was my first homebrew and after reading this forum I upped to timescales to those mentioned by Slid (I actually had it in my shed a day after bottling then brought it back inside when I realised I needed warmer temps. Anyway, it is still conditioning after about...

I'm planning to get one/two to disolve. I put one in a bottle of vodka a couple years ago and that disolved nicely so hoping it will work in hot water.

Cant beat those prices, just ordered the Stout to get delivered to my local Tesco Saturday. Bargain. Might be a thread on this but I also notice many HB kits in boxes for £20 +. Why so expensive?:wha:
