Folks,
I've brewed for years using a range of kits. I found the 'Boots' own lager gave the most consistent results and used it for years, however it always lacked body and wasn't really my drink. I've since tried Cooper's and Young's, but they've suffered the same trouble.
My latest brews included Barley wine which I was most impressed with -it had much more about it, but it became very bitter with standing.
I drink Scotch and Dog in the pubs and clubs and would like to replicate the body and smoothness of Dog with the sharp taste of Scotch.
I've seen a couple of posts where people have added black treacle to a standard stout kit and this seems as if it might fit the bill.
Can anyone recommend a kit and modifications to get a suitable result?
Thanks
