Hey mate

Did this one this week, while not sure how it will turn out it is almost done (1.020) and tastes amazing!

it was
Can of Coopers Irish Stout
500g Dried Dark Malt extract
500g Dried Light Malt extract
200-250g Chocolate malt
250g Maltodextrin
200g Milo
'Black-pac' (http://www.homebru.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=612)
S-04 Yeast

You could drop the grains but not sure how itd turn out. Milo seems to be nice at this level.
All I did was hit the choc malt with a rolling pin and steep it.

This is going to be a strong one so without grains would get you to the 5% mark but this one will be 6.5-7% probably

Will let you know how it goes anyway when its kegged.

G'Day Blakie,

Thanks for the info your brew sounds great actually awsome, I wish I could have me a glass or two, once my Mexican Cerveza is done and bottled Im going to copy your recipe including the Milo lol.

How long did you steep the choc malt for and what temp?

Hey mate,

No worries. ill have to let you know how it goes in the next week or so I will be kegging it. Tastes really nice at the moment so can't see it getting worse but yeah.

I actually didnt take much notice of the temp but im pretty sure you usually do it at around 70, mine would have been close or maybe higher. I basically smashed the grain up with a rolling pin to crack it and boiled water which i left in the kettle for around 5-10 minutes then added to the grain. Experts could probably tell u exactly what temp to use but I winged it.. haha.

I then strained into a collander with a grain bag stretched over it, repeated the steeping process to get the most out of the soggy grain. Boiled that and the dried malt, maltodextrin and milo for around 20-30 minutes and then added the kit when I switched the flame off.

Let us know how you go if you make it!

P.S if you are after a porter check out my topic in the Kits and extracts section which someone has posted a recipe with a bitter kit as the base because this turned into a stout rather than a porter Edit - here you go http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=59663

Kegged this today.

This beer is really nice! Very smooth and actually considering the percentage is very easy to drink. The chocolate isn't overpowering and you could probably add more milo if you wanted it chocolatey but I prefer it more beery haha.
