stout

Has anyone used cacao nibs in their stout? I’m thinking of adding them to the end of primary fermentation OR just before racking and bottling. Just not sure about the process. Any success stories out there? cheers

Hey guys, I’m planning to brew up a Fergs oatmeal stout this weekend, using a wort kit (from Grain & Grape). I wanted to add coffee beans and cacao nibs to the brew. But wasn’t sure how to add them? At what stage and whether they should be added directly into the fermenter? I’m leaning towards...

Howdy, I accidently used 1/2 amount of the bittering hops I should have in an oatmeal stout a couple months ago. I thought it might be fine but since kegging I've had a few tastes and it's a no go. Too sweet and malty (not in a good way) . Is there any way to bitter a beer that's finished...

I am "Kit brewer". About 45 years at it; kegs used, with controlled fermentation down to about 17 Deg C I am a long time fan of stout, Guinness being my gold standard. Time now for a change after a recent holiday in NZ where I tasted a superb Choc Stout. I discovered the brewery concerned used...
