Toucan Stout

[petesbrew]

The one I always enjoyed was Coopers Stout & Dark kits, 500g brown sugar & both yeasts - made up to 23L.
This one can ferment like crazy and froth through the airlock, so it's best to keep the area clear of anything you don't want wet.

I played around with grains and hops in this, but the basic recipe was always the best.

I once made a Coopers Pale Ale + Coopers Dark Ale toucan brew, 22 litres in a 30 litre fermentor, the krausen filled the entire 8 litre headspace and spewed out of my airlock like something from a horror movie. It was friggin ridiculous.

I'd hate to think what would happen now I brew in much smaller plastic jerrys. h34r: Time to get that blowoff tube installed.

Blowoff tube it is then, doubt SWMBO would like stout all over the place, might be pushing my luck a bit

Yeah it took me a fair while to clean it up, since it happened overnight and had already dried/crusted onto everything in about a 2 metre radius.
