Hi

After trying my bottled Stout its a little fizzy.

Does Stout need less or no extra sugar when bottling ?

Thanks all
 
I think each one is designed for 375ml of reasonably fizzy... So 4 is a litre and a half of reasonably fizzy...

You probably only really wanted one per litre maybe for stout I reckon.

Do you know what your FG was BTW?
 
I don't, it was my first go at brewing and didn't really know to read the hydrometer properly (still not great to be honest)
 
Just asked because it might be that if it's really fizzy then fermentation hadn't finished when you bottled.

How long was it between starting the kit and bottling?

I think there is a hydrometers how to somewhere... bingo! :thumb:
 
If you are drinking them warm then put them in the fridge for a day first, doesn't really solve the problem but it will pour better.
 
Thanks guys :thumb:

I had the Stout in the PFB for about 2 weeks, I gave it about 4 days after it stopped bubbling
