Hey fellas, back at it now that work is slowing down and weather is cooling down. I'm going to throw a Cooper's Stout kit together on the weekend. I have 1.3KG's of Dark LME as my fermentable and some EKG and Willamette, with Notty for the yeast. Was thinking I'd do a boil with the LME to get some bitterness out of one of the hops to compliment the bitterness in the Cooper's pre-hopped.
I made this kit before using light LME as the extra fermentable, but thought it was too malty.That being said, the stout I am really used to drinking is Guinness, so the Cooper's Stout probably isn't trying to emulate that dry Irish stout style.
This was my first crack at it:
1.7KG Cooper's Original Stout
1.3KG light LME
2*7g packets of Cooper's ale yeast, pitched at 70*-72*.
topped up to 16L in a 5 gallon bucket
Any advice? Hoping to brew it Sunday.
