Tonight I am brewing a Coopers Irish Stout Extract Kit 1.7kg using 500g Barbados Sugar and 500g Extra Dark DME......I was also planning to add a tin 454g of Black Treacle. The shop unfortunately is out of this and I was wondering if I could use any of the following to add a bit more strength...

That's what I'm meaning. basically this hope is really only good for lagers or very light drinking beers correct? and If I had to add 100g as a dry hop to my pale ale extract kit i would likely not notice it much or indeed at all. Therefore would it be a worthless exercise or can anyone...

The sound of a smash with the 100g of strata.appeals to me very much indeed. However I am not really a lager drinker and.prefer.something with a bit more taste. So would doing a smash with my pale ale kit and 100g of ih033 ( basically as mentioned a lagery type of hop) still be worthwhile doing...

so what about 50g of each in my two 5 gallon extract kits or not.? Or Would you use different ratios if doing them together as would one overwhelm the other? Just that I have these two packs and would like to use them but don't want to waste beer if they just don't go with each other....cheers

Recently I took a chance and paid £3.each for luck dip hops at The Malt Miller I subsequently got 100g each of Strata & Ih033. Has anyone ever used these. Strata has an Alpha of 14.2% & Oh033 has an Alpha of 3.9%. I have 2 x 1 can (mangrove jacks) pale ale extract kits to make 5 gallons each. I...

Ty for your inpute caramel but that somehow seems beyond me...carbonation volume etc I am just looking for a general psi based on peoples experiences in kegging stout.....regards your stouts head not being the best Graz I too seem to have same problem..Good at first but not so half way down. I...

I have just made a coopers irish stout and am wondering what is the correct psi to serve it at. I know I will not get the Guinness cream effect as this would require a nitrogen mix and a sparkler style tap neither of which I have. Am I also right in thinking that Guinness is served between...

degas the sample? as in the amount I took out to put the hydrometer in? no i didnt i have never done that.

I brewed a Coopers Irish Stout 15 days ago using mangrove Jack's enhancer 2 [1.2kg] along with mangrove Jack's kveik voss yeast. I was obviously looking for a fast fermenting brew but has certainly been the case. I admittedly never fermented at high temps and just brewed it in my kitchen with a...

Ty for all the replies very helpful but on reflection might partial extract/mini mash be a better option for me? Finances and space are very much a deciding factor for me. I have currently a 10l stainless steel pot. This obviously would not be big enough to brew 23 litre batches of homebrew. I...

So what size would be fine if I sparge into a plastic FV? Would sitting the bag on a wire rack be fine then spare with kettles of boiling water? Would pouring the water through a colander then onto the bag be beneficial or waste of time? Also on average how many kettles full would be recommended...

I was thinking about (if cost justifies) possibly giving biab a try. This step up from extract brewing appeals.but only if cost isn't too much of an issue. I would therefore like to know the absolute bare minimum size of pot I would need to be able to make enough wort for 23l batches. Tyvm

i brewed my coopers irish stout last thursday 9/3/23 i brewed it with Mangrove Jacks beer enhancer 2. I also used the mangrove jacks Kveik Voss yeast. I was hoping to have it finished fermenting an a few days and possibly have it in a keg by today or tomorrow. However I am disappointed to...

I have 2 x Coopers Irish Stout Extract Kits coming on Thursday 8th March (3 days away) and I am hoping I can have something drinkable within a week. Is this overly ambitious or what? lol. The Cheltenham Horse racing festival starts on Tue 14th till Fri 17th March and I'm desperate to be...

Originally I was meaning would it be OK to add 250g of DME as well as 1kg Brewing Sugar?Would this work or were you meaning 500g DME instead of using Brewing Sugar? So for example which of the following would work best Any any idea of approx abv of each? A. 1x 1.7kg coopers irish stout + 1kg...

Can I ask if its worth it adding Dark DME to a Coopers Irish Stout Kit and if so how much? For example Would 250g be enough to make a difference to taste, body, abv and head retention? Look forward to replies.

Thanks for the feedback....I do enjoy a happy beer so the Kveik Voss or Hornindial sounds perfect. Which one of the two would be better suited to IPA?

I have been caught on the hop somewhat and am wondering what's the quickest possible time I could make a malt extract kit beer, bottle and drink it. My aim is to have one drinkable by the 16th March !!! The style would be an IPA with plenty of dry hops. For example is there a recommended years...

will do i think i need to lol ty

That should read when they say add 40 pints add sugar and get 5%ABV etc
