I'm brewing a stout at the moment, and trying to get close to real guiness taste. I have heard that a way to get the guinness "twang" is to put aside a litre of wort following the boil, let it sit in a cupboard for a week to go sour, then pasteurise and add to the fermenter.
I brewed a week ago, and am ready to rack to a secondary fermenter. The litre of wort I put aside now has an interesting cover of mould - my previous reading on the subject made no mention of this happening.
I now plan to skim the mould, boil this wort for 20 min and add to the secondary. Anybody see any problems with this? AT the very leat, maybe this mould may clear up a bad cough I haven't been able to shake!
