G'day legends!
I've been brewing for years, and just put down my first stout! I asked the HB shop for a good recipe and they have me the following:
Mountmellick Irish stout can
A fermentable mix of:
500gm amber malt
250gm Dex
250gm maltodex
15ml licorace extract
Made to 20L
OG - 1.049
Ferment at 18.5C
Now typically I use just malt extracts, but I let the bloke in the shop talk me into his "mix" and thought what the hell for my first!
My questions are this:
1. It's been down for 10 days FG is stable on 1.014 - is this high or ok? Typically my other beers finish about 1.008.
2. Should I cold crash a stout?
Thanks heaps for your help!
