Super Stout

[Brewman_]

Pics from a couple weeks back. This is after about two clean ups and bucket changes.

The one with Glad wrap is the baby stout SG 1045.

The one with the blow off tube is the RIS, SG 1100. Not sure if the bubbling in the bucket is that clear, but it was vigorous.

The glad wrap blew off the baby stout once.

This looks lethal. I'll give it a go.
Will probably make a 2L starter. Any suggestions on a good liquid yeast?

Link not working.

Another brilliant yeast is Wyeast Irish Ale 1084 - finishes fast and drops like a stone. It's related to the original Guinness yeast.

"I have a dream" well a Plan anyway...... :huh:

1 can coopers stout
1 can coopers devils half ruby porter
1kg raw sugar
300 gram of rolled oats
M10 workhorse yeast

Make a yeast starter with the M10 yeast

Steep oats in boiled water for 30 minutes.
Add both cans and raw sugar into the fermenter with 5 ltrs boiling water
Strain the oats into the fermenter

Stir like buggery

Make up to 23ltrs

Add yeast starter and fit a blow off tube Lock the doors and stand back at a safe distance

If the house is still standing or foam isn't spewing from the windows after 15 or 20 days I will keg and carbonate....

will keep you all informed



Cheers

The coopers ROTM "Black Mountain" Looks like a nice base. add 1kg LDME, 1kg Dex, bit more steeping grain like roast, crystal. and drop the cascade for EKG and the US05 for one of my favorites- 1084.

Cheers.

Use 2 yeasts, rehydrate nut don't make a "starter" as such

Question for all you tech heads out there h34r:

If I use the workhorse M10 and the yeast that came with the Coopers porter kit.... I know they are not the same strain..... But will it matter mixing them together???


I have thought about doing this in the past but havent been game enough


Some one out there will have tried this


Cheers

300 gram of rolled oats steeped in 5 ltrs of just boiled water for 30 minutes

Why would you put porridge water in your brew?

 

[Bribie G]

Unless you mash the oats with some base malt, they won't do anything apart from maybe a bit of starch haze, which will not be noticeable in a stout.

 

[JWB]

Strain the oats just use the water.......works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
