Well another month and I think the metallic taste has subsided but only slightly. Maybe I'm going to have to wait till christmas like you did Macdonald. Fud me i've got 30 bottles of this it can't goto waste FFS. Take care brewers

Lets see matey...

Im going to leave it to brew a little longer. Its' been in the bottle for a month.

I've had a irish stout and treacle brew in the bottle for the last month. It tastes like tin can! Have I chuffed this batch up?

I bought some Alcotec restart yeast...but you guys sound like I shoulda leave it. Is the alcohol level going to increase in the bottle?

I'm such an idiot I forgot to take down the og... Should I add some more yeast again? If I do would I need to put the krausen back in and stir it about again? It's about two weeks old now

Oh balls...i guess i'll need to just drink more of it.

I've just done my week test and the Hydrometer has just sunk to the bottom of my tester sample!!! The brew is a coopers Irish stout with a full tin of treacle and half KG of muntons dextrose. I started around 1030 on OG (I'm dam sure) its now reading 10 on the coopers hydrometer...

After a week i've got no sign of the yeast foaming and fermenting. Its a coopers stout with some treacle... Has the yeast been killed off and its useless?

I couldn't resist trying one after 2.5 weeks (It was my Bday last saturday) and carbonation just wasn't ready :( I did have a bit of froth but it just died after about 5 mins, it also tasted rather yeasty still.

got a recipe for Bitter Chocolate Raspberry Belgian Porter? Sounds delicious

Thanks for the response...I'm gagging for this brew ;)

How long am I looking at for 500ML bottles with two drops?

Thanks Bob for the tip on swingtops...I was worried about this, I will certainly be a bit more careful than with my PET bottles. I've got some coopers carb tablets. Im hoping my mature brew is a hit for the summer so will let you know in a few weeks :)

I did think this but thank you for the confirmation. It doesn't look infected to be honest either. Now looking forward to seeing how much different swingtops are for carbonation :)
