Whats The Best To Add To A Coopers Stout

[InCider]

I just rode down to woolies and got 2x stout, 1x Dark Ale and 1 x Real Ale.

And I bought some quick oats.

And I have molasses in my shed...

First recipe - 1x Stout 1 x Dark Ale. Will boil up some of the dark ale with 300g oats(then strain), some molassess and toss some hops in at the end - Saaz (all that I have on a long weekend) and reuse some safale yeast from the previous brew.

2nd brew 1 x Stout, 1 x Real Ale, Hops.

Any suggestions - or have I missed something?

Interesting.

I'm going to be making the stout and real ale combo tomorrow. I was also thinking of bunging in some saaz for flavour (mainly because it's the oldest of the hops left).

The only difference will be an addition of 500g light dried malt extract as I have no idea of the level of hops from the two cans involved. I'll be using US-56 as I used all of my Safale S04.

WOW!

My first ever stove boil! So cool! The house smells like a brewery! I love everyone and everything!


OK - 355gm of quick oats, dumped into the boil with 1/2 can dark ale. Hops (hallertau) added every metric whenever and the last not at flameout.

So cool!

I'm waiting for 10 minutes to strain it.

Then keep in a pot (covered) until I'm ready to toss it in the fermenter with a can of stout and the rest of the dark ale.

I am pumped!

Reminder to anyone steeping grains... You must boil the resulting liquor before adding to the fermenter or you are guaranteed an infection.
