Get a tin of dark ale and 1/2 kg brown sugar, dump them and the stout tin in the fermenter. Ferment with S04.
Probably still my favourite kit ever.
+1 ++ one of the best toucans ever but do not drinks pints next day you will really suffer.
Getting there three steps forward one step back. However I agree with the comments that Coopers Stout is bulletproof. Suggested improvements, instead of the sugar which can make it a bit dry, try a kilo of Coopers Brew Improver 2, or a kilo of Light Dried Malt Extract and it will turn out a wee bit more like bottled Guinness or Sheaf Stout. If you end up liking the brew you can make a dynamite version with two cans of stout, a kilo of light dried malt extract and 750g of sugar or dextrose that turns out a headbanging 9% alcohol. The kit yeast will handle up to 9.5 %. :beerbang:
For sipping, not quaffing. Enjoy responsibly.
Aye, last one I did was with 1kg Brew Enhancer #2 and 300g Dextrose and filled the carboy to 21 litres and just that got it to 6.5%ABV with the kit yeast (cough cough). Three weeks in it tastes young but fantastic.
I'd be interested to see if there was a recipe (that didn't involve faeces) that could actually kill this beast. :lol:
Which hops would you use (if at all) for this recipe:
2x Coopers stout tins
Coopers BE2
500g Dark brown sugar
2x kit yeast.
I currently have in stock Styrian Goldings, Tettnanger, Perle and Halletau.
