[stew.w]

Try Google - it works.

Though I read the label on Young's once (never tasted it), and I think it had oats in it? Have you got the bottle still?

There's plenty more, just use Google

I have an unopened bottle (courtesy of one of the good and honest members of Canberra Brewers) right here in front of me. Oats are certainly listed as an ingredient. Not so unusual, Bitter and Twisted use 4% Malted Oats, along with 5 % Torrified Wheat.
Anyway here is a linkYoungs DCS
It is such a great beer I think you find it difficult to clone well.

I really hate the word clone.
Why try clone some sort of beer when you can just make something similiar, start from the basics and make something from scratch, learn how to brew and you'll never use the word clone ever again.

If you're using choc essence go very easy on it. One of the guys in the BBC made a choc stout and that stuff is potent, you dont need much

 

[Muggus]

Great beer.

And according to a bottle it contains "plenty of chocolate malt and real dark chocolate".

I'm guessing in the dark chocolate goes in boil and/or mash. Never made anything using chocolate, but it would help having a good stout base to begin.

Bump.

With winter coming up, I'm going to brew a couple of stouts for me and my Dad. I've had the YDCS a few times in bottles and enjoyed it, but absolutely loved it on tap recently in San Diego at The Yardhouse.

Here's what I'm thinking so far. There's no lactose in it as yet, as I think I can get enough sweetness with mash temp plus yeast.

Thoughts? Has anyone worked on something?

Cheers.

This one has been adapted out of the BYO 150 Clone mag. came out pretty close to YDCS.

Hey Duff,
I would suspect you've searched the recipe DB? I've tried sully's choc choc stout , listed. I don't know how close it is but it was modeled on the Youngs double. I had the two a few weeks apart. It was very good and there was much conjecture over which was better. Sully had used mixed nitogen(?) and co2 for this one which added to that tight silky smooth head and feel.You could smell it from a distance. Anyway check database if you haven't already, may give some clues. :icon_cheers:

Edit : Ah! Too slow again.
