a question of priming with black treacle

[mickthetrick]

hi all.
ive a coopers brewmaster irish stout thats just about ready to bottle. i was wanting to prime it with black treacle to add a little flavour but im not too sure how much i should use?
could you more experienced chaps give me an idea of how much?
oh its 23 ltr. by the way and i will be batch priming before bottling.

no more than 2oz

The flavour is incredibly powerful

well Ive sampled a couple pints of this stout tonight. was trying to keep it for Christmas but what the hell. i primed it with 2oz of black treacle as advised. its being bottled for 3 month or so now.
beautiful just beautiful. :drink: just the right amount of carbonation and lovely taste. I'm well made up.
definitely one on the "to do again list"

Thanks for that bit of follow up!

I've been thinking of doing a stout and that sounds totally awesome...

sorry it was a coopers brewmaster stout. can't think why i typed imperial stout.
i made it to the instructions with the kit.

That's on the "to brew" list!

nice one, ive got this brew fermenting away, cant wait to fire it in the corny. ive made about 21 litres so I'll bottle a few aswell. did u batch prime as i imagine getting the same amount of treacle in each bottle would b hard!

yes i batch primed it :thumb:
