Disapointing..at 5 weeks
by Dean @ 06, Feb 2010 |

|
|
HB shop owner pushed this over the
Thomas Coopers Irish Stout. Made with
200g of lactose and Stout Mix(Dark malts
extra). Very disapointed with the result
so far. Thin on character, nay, no REAL
character at all! Being a Stout drinker
from the UK and loving Coopers Best
Extra Stout I was looking to improve on
my Stouter Stout previously made using
Coopers Stout with only 18l of
water(fantastic!). Hopefully this will
improve with age!!!

Good Stuff

Being a big fan of Coopers Extra Stout I
thought I'd make some myself. HB Shop
owner recommended this one. I tin, tin
yeast, stout booster,10ml of lic.
extract,16 grams (teabag)of fuggles, 18
litres of water. Brewed at about 22
degrees over 6 days. Opened one up at
about 2 and a half weeks and already a
rippa. Great complex full taste can't
wait to it is older. Only small
complaint is it is slightly thin in
mouth feel. Will make again for sure.
Next time will use safale yeast to
compare the difference.

1st
one Ive tried, on recommendation of HB
shop owner. Used yeast supplied, 500gms
Light Malt, 500gms Dxts, 10mls licorice
xtract brewed at 25 deg. Not a heavy
stout but very easy to tip a few back.
Father in law was happy being a pom so
that says a bit.

OK

This was a kit I did for/with a mate who
has just entered brewing. Anyway I was
pretty disapointed in this kit, not
because of the quality just because it
seemed to be very mild in flavour, more
like a dark ale. Brewed with a stout
booster pack and the supplied yeast. If
I did it again would steep some grains.
Not bad just not what I expected.

I made this one with 1k of DME and
that's it, turned out great and I plan
on making it again sometime.

good stout

I've made this twice both times with
1.5kg dark liquid malt, 300g corn syrup,
10ml liqorice extract. I used the
supplied yeast & made batches of about
19-20lts & fermented it at about 22deg.
I've used 15g of both Fuggles &
Goldings hops
It's very good, strong dark , malty,
bitter stout, with a hint of sweetness.
The head quality is also very good.
It's not quite the perfect stout .....
the quest continues

Quite a nice drop

This was my 3rd beer that I put on and
it turned out SOOOOOOOO nice..
I used the yeast supplied, 500g Dark
Malt, 250g light malt, 250g dex, 250g
brown sugar.
I split the batch into 2. I carbonated
one with normal Coopers Carbonation
Drops and the other I used Black Jelly
Beans... It tastes really really nice. I
wish I still had more of those left

Have done this a few times but added 1
can Dark Malt extrac, small can of choc
malt extract, some lactose and some
extra hops to balance all that malt.
Excellent results, has turned a few of
my mates onto dark beers.
