This is the plan:
Coopers Stout tin
Coopers Dark Ale tin
500g Light Dry Malt extract
250g of Dextrose
and 250g of Brown Sugar
I don't usually get down with dark beers but since I have had a mate make this and also tried the Epicurian Coffee and Fig Stout (which I would love to reproduce) I am a semi convert.
I have a BIAB set up ready to go and will brew up an IPA in my new pot but I don't know enough about grains to try this as an AG so want to follow the above recipe with a twist... a few Ideas I have had include dropping the dextrose and making it 500g Brown sugar *don't know what it will achieve just saves me goin out just to get more dex* also thought of adding toasted coconut or flaked oats and mashing in to this mix... again not too sure which one to do but just wanting to add my own twist to things... other ideas were either adding grains to add a caramel flavour or a choc flavour.... would need advice for both though.
Cheers
