I have a can of Coopers Irish Stout sitting around and i wanted to increase the head retention. I had made one previously, but it was very sweet and not bitter enough to my tastes. I am a amature at homebrewing having only done extract batches. I want to add crystal malt to the recipe along with...

sweet thanks man

hey thanks man, you know what the shippings like? like who they use.

I'm from calgary alberta and im having a tough time finding a place that sells 5gal kegs, or any size for that matter. my question is where can i get one? or is there a trusted site i can order them from.

Going to start my first partial mash today. Just wondering if anyone had any advice or tips for me. I'm doing a coopers irish stout and will be using: 1lb Crystal Malt 1.7kg Irish Stout 2oz cascade for bittering, 1 oz for dry hopping Irish Moss 11g Nottingham yeast

thats relieving, i was astonished at how sweet it was. I don't have to many friends who homebrew so this site is kinda like my safe haven haha. It was just so chochlatly and overwhelming it tasted like chocolate beer.

right on thanks guys

I have a coopers stout in the primary right now and was wondering if i should bother racking it. I know its good to rack lagers and pale ales for clarity but does it make a difference with a stout? 500g DME Coopers Original Stout 1.7 kg 1 kg Brew Enhancer 2

now that looks like what a lager should be. and what mine looked like when i bottled it, being a new brewer i just had to try it a week out haha. anyways, i already have bought dme for my next brew after my pilsner, already 2 weeks in and it hasnt stopped bubbling. figured id try a stout, seein...

no i couldn't see it, i only joined like 2 hours ago

thats the exact colour it looks like when i poured it, that bottle was a little overcarbonated though. yeah this is only the 2 week mark, im gonna open the next one a month from now see if its any better. like i said the only strange part about the taste was it was malty, maybe under...

i took a picture but im havin trouble uploading it. says it has to be a url. not sure how to get it on a web address

haha thats alright. it was the coopers beginners kit, i put the can in hot tap water and left it to thin the malt. waited 20 minutes poured the malt in then the water then the brewing sugar that comes with the kit, not sure if its dextros or not. mixed thoroughly. moved it to were it was going...
