  • In this video I brew a Coopers Stout homebrew extract beer kit. In addition to the beer kit, I add a tin of Morgan's roasted dark liquid malt extract and some steeped chocolate malt grains. I also upgrade the yeast from the kit yeast to a Crossmyloof 04 English Ale yeast. This is a simple method of improving an extract beer kit with grain additions and it really makes a difference to the overall flavour and finished product.
    Recipe:
    1 x Coopers Stout
    1 x Morgan's Dark Roasted Liquid Malt extract (un-hopped) - any other brand with do just as good.
    300g Chocolate Malt Grains, Steeped at 80 degrees C for 30 mins and strained.
    1 Packed of Crossmyloof 04 English Ale Yeast.

    I gave this a go but added fuggle hops and slightly less malt and it turned out really well. I'm hoping to give it another go soon before the kiwi winter

    Thanks for posting these videos, it's the sort of brewing I've been doing and you have some really good ideas. I brewed a Cooper's stout and used stout yeast, malt extract and Golding's hops. I probably added too much malt extract as the initial taste was a bit overpowering for my tastes but apart from that it was bloody good, it too poured like sump oil. Look forward to seeing your next brew.

    Love the smile when you tasted it when you brew your own and do it well it’s a great feeling. Have you tried a tin of black treacle in a stout it gives it some great flavour and increases the alcohol content.

    • @G-townbrewer
      @G-townbrewer  Před 2 lety

      Haha. I've brewed over a hundred beers now and I still can't believe how good (most) come out and that first taste always brings a smile to my face. I only do one stout a year so don't experiment much, but I've read that treacle is a good addition. May give that a go next time. Keep brewing and may you be blessed with the homebrewers smile every brew! cheers 🍻

    Hi there.
    I am new to brewing and have a question I'm hoping you'll be able to help with. I have just purchased this kit along with some chocolate malt and dark spray malt.
    When bottling is it essential to add carbonation drops? I'm not a fan of fizzy stout. I like a smooth stout like guinness. To achieve a smoother stout, shall I leave out the carbonation drops when bottling? TIA :)

    • @G-townbrewer
      @G-townbrewer  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I think you’ll need to add some carbonation if you’re bottling it and this will also help to preserve it in the bottles and will give it some head. Maybe aim for half a teaspoon per bottle of dextrose or table sugar. You could try using a pressure barrel if not as this will give a smother less “fizzy” beer with a nice creamy head. Good luck. Cheers 🍻

      @@carlwyatt5036 Not often. I always use Harris Pure Brew and have found this eliminates that "homebrew tang" if that's what you're talking about. There's a whole bunch of other off-flavours you can get from other reasons though. For example, are controlling the temperature during fermentation? Are you using tap water and if so are you treating it to remove chlorine? - just a couple of things...
