[dye29]

hy all ive made my first stout with success its a muntons premium irish stout very nice but the only downfall is it could do with been abit creamyer can this be done with adding any other sugars or something regards ste

not tried it, but apparently a bit of lactose added during the ferment. its non fermentable milk sugar. pretty cheap to buy, but too much will make it far to sweet

I added 100g of roasted quaker oats to my sout test brew and it seemed to work - nice head all the way down.

If you want a guiness you need to find yourself a nitrogen/C02 gas mix otherwise +1 for adding oats to the mix should make it alot silkyer.

so what's this about oats? do you just throw them in or do you have to roast them or what?

I did a coopers irish a while back, it was alright, The taste is ok but it was a bit watery and gassy. Problem is being from ireland I've only ever drank the black stuff and of course that is my only real bench mark
