"I've had a couple of these already" he says grinning like a Cheshire cat. Hehe.
Looks great! I made this a few months back but really went to town with the adjuncts, following a recipe on the Coopers website for Tripple Choc Stout. It was a monster! Would have been great around Christmas time. Keep saying I'll brew one without changing anything but I just can't help myself!
Cheers to great beers that’s why we home brew beer on our channel ,and grow hops make wine and meads , stay thirsty friend
Just brewed the Coopers STD stout with 1kg dark DME, have it in pressure barrel and it's holding pressure, will try it Christmas week, I've got the Coopers Irish stout to do next I'm going to use 1.5 can dark LME on that one, I'm going to brew and bottle that one this Christmas for next Christmas, I brewed an extract ale last April and I almost threw out the lot but tried one again tonight and wow! time has transformed it from twang to bang! tidy 👍😎
Good luck, hope it turns out well. Cheers!
That m8...looks a cracking pint...cheers....just subscribed..
It is a lovely pint. I've literally just had one and after 6 months it's got even better. All the flavours have mellowed and there's now a lovely hint of vanilla coming through. Definitely a beer that gets better with time.
@@G-townbrewer nice 1 m8...this will make you laugh...the other week I found a crate full of woodfordes wherry from 2016...I tried them and were perfect so smooth and mellow...no horrible twang etc..I couldn't believe it...I've just got a woodfordes admiral to do and a pilsner from love brewing but ATM I've got covid so I gotta wait till ifeel better..
@@gavhinds8190 most homebrews seem to benefit form extended conditioning, but most of mine barely last a few weeks. Nice when you discover a few forgotten brews. Hope you feel better and get that brew on. 👍🍻
@@G-townbrewer thanks m8...have you got any more vids planned for the near future at all..
@@gavhinds8190 I have indeed. Will be uploading my review of the muntons Hazy IPA this weekend. I've got an easy all grain Amarillo ale in the pipeline and I'll be continuing with more extract and kit brews.
First time beer brewer here and liked your video that much that i bought the same celtic yeast from crossmyloof for my stout.I have just noticed that the celtic yeast has a lower temp range than the generic? How does that work when the brew kit comes with the higher temp range yeast?
As you'll substitute the kit yeast with the CML yeast, as long as you stay within the temp range for the CML yeast (15-22) you'll be fine. If you ferment at the lower end it will take longer. Good luck and hope it turns out good. Cheers!
Can you please share what is name of glass you are using?
Looks really cool - is it some kind of tulip, goblet - I do not see anything like this in out coutry.
I want to search on the web, maybe it has some special name so I can narrow the query and find it.
Great video btw.
Hi. Thanks for watching. It's actually a San Miguel glass which is nucleated to give good head to the beer.
I made a Coopers stout kit a couples of years ago. Made it half the volume and into a imperial stout. Better yeast, temperature controled fermentation, some chocolat. Well it was drinkable, but not close to the all grain I make. Makeup on a pig, its still a pig.
That's a shame, I thought it was pretty decent although I think the yeast did make a big difference. You did remind me of one of may Dad's sayings though...he says "you can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear!" :)
@@G-townbrewer Brewing a kit was just an experiment and I have no problem to pour out bad beer. Always made all grain. My homebrewing got me a job at a large brewery as production technician. Whith the big machines, tanks on 100 m3 and more. I am not complaining about my brewing journey.
My dad used to say the same thing, but sows ear
Did you keg any by any chance?
Looking on doing this kit and using my mini keg dispenser, but read you need to use nitrogen rather than CO2.
I did put this in a pressure barrel initially, but when I tested it , it was flat (due to a leaky seal probably), so I rescued it into bottles. I reckon it would be superb from the keg.
FYI, you don't *need* nitrogen. CO2 will work just fine. But nitrogen would be ideal to get that super cascading effect that Guinness is known for.
Hi there, can I just ask what you used to prime? Was it sugar or the cooper tablets. Thanks
Hi. Thanks for watching. I used brewing sugar (dextrose) to prime. I've never used the drops as I usually batch prime in a bottling bucket as I find it easier. I have posted another video which explains how I batch prime and bottle. Good luck and happy brewing!
@@G-townbrewer that's great, thanks for getting back to me!
What was the tablet you added please?
That would have been the Harris Pure Brew. It consists of a water treatment tablet and a spoon of yeast nutrient.
Is the enhancer really needed ?
You can use whatever you like to make up the extra fermentables. Sugar will do, but enhancer will be better IMHO. Or better still, malt extract.
