Cheers to Yooper. (and a request)

Just wanted to post up a cheers to Yooper from Sacramento Ca.

These are two of my favorite beers. Go-to drinkability. It makes me sad when they run out so I make more.

Da Yooper's House Pale Ale

Yooper's Oatmeal Stout

Now a request.

Dear Yooper,
I am having problems pouring a black and tan with these beers. After approximately 25-30 attempts I cannot get them to layer.
Can you please fix this clear oversight on your part?

Thanks,
Kevin

Try using a spoon & a gentle pour for the 2nd beer. That might make it easier to layer.

Your stout needs to be served with a nitro setup for it to layer.

I don't have a nitro set up- but I can pour a black & tan. I need to use my oatmeal stout, and then an IPA or IIPA, because the IPA has a lower gravity.
The key is a turtle- those bar spoons that they use to make a black & tan. I got one as a giveaway from Guiness a while back.



Sorry I can't help with the pouring- but thank you for the nice words about the recipes!

Haha! I've tried several spoons and a turtle. I haven't tried with a lower fg beer. I'll have to brew something to try that with.
I was mainly trying to be funny but yeah the recipes are awesome and thanks for sharing them.

I'm glad you like them!

Yep, the reason a B&T works is due to the differences in FG- that is what keeps them from mixing. When you have two beers with very different FGs, you could try again, even if they are non traditional B&T beers, just for practice. Of course, if it's 9 AM, that might be frowned upon in some workplaces.
