Hello all,
having read this thread about the Coopers stout I'm inspired to make this my second brew after the Wherry has finished. Picked up a tin this morning from Wilco for a tenner and a kilo of medium spray malt as that's all they had,also got some brewing sugar. Just wondering. .should I bung in all the spray malt and 500g of the sugar or just the malt? And....is the supplied yeast good to go?
regards
Clint
Tried one at the weekend and it was like a lovely treacle! Be grand in a few weeks.
I'm making this next, got the kit + a Coopers brew enhancer #2. Going to stick with that for now and then if I like it will start to experiment a bit next time around. Really looking forward to trying it
Brewed this short to 18l with 1kg muntons medium DME and 250g Golden Syrup. Didn't take OG, and am having difficulty getting it below 1014. Been in the FV for 2 weeks, and has clearly finished so will bottle tomorrow (would keg if I had one!). Looking forward to a sample in a couple of weeks. :twisted:
1.014 seems to be normal for a shorter batch. did you get much krausen? I may go for 20litres
I use the carbonation drops. Two per 740ml bottle as per instruction. Not got the stout bottled yet but have a lager maturing using the same method and they seem fine. The bottles are rock hard after four days.What are you all using for secondary carbonation when bottling? And how much?
I made one of the Coopers Irish Stouts earlier in the year. I was told to halve my carbonation rate. I couldn't bring myself to halve it, so half, plus some.
Way under carbonated. Never again. The Coopers website seem to use 2 carb drops per 750ml bottle on their recipes.
