Did a toucan brew on Saturday with the following:
1x Coopers Stout
1x Coopers Dark Ale
500g Coopers LDME
500g Raw Sugar
~100g of Cocoa Powder
2 small bars of 70% cocoa chocolate
Water to 25l
2 x kit yeast
OG: 1060
SG: 1016 (Thursday night)
Had a taste on brew day and again on Thursday. Tasting a bit overly bitter at the moment.
Is there anything I can do at this stage to mellow the bitterness and/or extend the flavours out a bit?
Can I do a late hop addition into the fermenter or maybe a steeping of some rolled oats to smooth it out?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
