I brewed up a Coopers Stout this afternoon as a quick alternative to what I normally do, full boil extract or AG. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have one under my belt. I did the stock kit with 3lbs of Bries dark DME. Brought a couple gallons of water to a boil, as the water was warming up I added the DME, when it boiled I added the Coopers LME and boiled it for a couple minutes. The biggest problem I had was cooling the wort, I poured it into the bucket and topped it off with more water and it was quite hot still so I put the bucket into a metal wash tub and filled it with cold water and let it sit in that while I cleaned up stirring it from time to time. It was still on the warm side when I pitched the yeast so I left it out in the cool garage for now to cool some more. I guess next time I should maybe get out the wort chiller. I am interested in seeing how it comes out.
