Batch Size (Gallons): 6

Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7-10

A surprisingly light stout given the heavy duty name. That's supposed to be part of the "mystique." Lactose improves the body and adds a touch of sweetness to the finish.

I was thinking of making this after reading your thread on quick turn beers.

Do you really just use 04? Dry yeast for this? I love it if you do. just making sure.

I do not have nitro either..I was just going to carb on co2. I have really really really been wanting to make a stout for the winter...
I think I can live with co2. .. although I am sure it rocks on beer gas.

Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Just give it a good aggressive pour to knock the gas out and let it sit for 10 minutes to warm a bit. Surprising what a little warming and flattening will do for a stout.

Yes, I really use dry yeast. Don't buy into the hype that you HAVE to use liquid yeast to make good beer. S-04 is a nice, clean fermenting English ale yeast that gives fantastic results in beers like this one.

Looks like I've found the recipe for the stout I'm going to make.

Smelled amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Looking forward to this one.
