Trial Stout #1 – July 2014
This trial stout is to make a rich stout, with less than usual bitterness to see if it suits the wifes palate – still desiring heaps of chocolate/coffee/toffee up front but without the bitter finish (that I love).
Ingredients:
1.7kg tin – Coopers (Thomas Coopers Irish Stout)
1.5kg – Dark Liquid Malt Extract
200gm – Simpsons Chocolate Malt – cold steeped 24H
OG: 1.056
Pitched yeast at 22C on 6 July 2014
August 4th, 2014
Bottled 2 Aug @ 1.020, a wee bit high, but was static for a long time. Carbed with a single drop.
