Hi all,
Got me a Cooper's Stout kit. I was thinking of adding some cocoa powder to get a chocolate flavor going and possibly some cinnamon. Then I saw that the kit wants me to add 1kg white sugar.
Would I be able to substitute that with honey? I've got a huge jar and thought it might go well with the chocolate flavor -- kind of a Christmas thing.
Only other problem is that the jar is from a farmer with no measurements on it. This problem again! So I'm not really sure what a kilogram of honey looks like in measuring cups. But I found a Web site with a cake recipe on it suggesting that 1kg of honey is about 2-2/3 cups [650 mL]. I'd be really happy if anyone could confirm that.
I think it's really time to buy a scale...
