I made my first brew about 5 months ago using only a can of extract. It was terrible but my pride wouldn't let me toss it, so I drank it.. I added some stuff to my next batch:
This is a very strong pure malt stout in the Guinness tradition
with plenty of body and flavour.(7.5% Alcohol)
1 can of Coopers Stout
1.5 to 1.7 kg Light Dry Malt Extract
Note: Fill your fermenter to the 18 litre mark only.
If you have any spare yeast, you will get a better result
by using 2 identical packets of yeast instead of 1.
I had one about two months after bottling and it was great. I then went back to drinking batch #1 to get rid of it.Now, a month latter batch 2 has become vinegary. It continues to foam up the bottle neck for 20 minutes after uncapping. Any ideas as to what went wrong? Thanks.
