Making Coopers Irish Stout for St. Patrick's Day

[sexylilthug77]

would you not drink this without the unhopped malt extract? you seem to add unhopped malt extract in all your brews on top of whatever it is ur brewing.

@sexylilthug77 The recommended additional fermentables for the Coopers Irish Stout is 500 grams of dry malt extract and 300 grams of dextrose. I wanted to boost the gravity even higher and decided to do so with a full can of unhopped malt extract syrup. I prefer all malt beers most of the time.

@makebeer ahhh i see, fair enough, i did actually see you do a ipa without adding the malt extract, so was just wondering

If you doing recipes like this how about a ingredient list in the video descriptions.

[makebeer]

@eedwards74 You're right. The ingredients are Coopers Irish Stout, 1.5 kg Coopers Unhopped Malt Extract and 1 oz of Fuggles hops.

[makebeer]

@BrauereiTUBE Quite the contrary, dude. I'll be enjoying this beer. Can't speak for your finished product, though.

Cool. Can't wait for the taste test. Must admit I cringed when you poured that starter and left behind all those good yeasties. Always swirl the starter! Cheers!

[makebeer]

@ihikefar The starter was swirled many times. But thanks for letting the viewers know about this. Cheers!

Awesome video Tom. But I saw you made a couple mistakes. Please send the entire batch to PEI for proper disposal (down my gullet). LOL

Cheers!

[makebeer]

@PeiHomeBrewer Thanks. I'm sure I made more than a couple of mistakes. But I think I can find a more local spot to dispose of it. I sampled today (I made it 2 days ago) and it's nice already. I'm going to give it at least 2 weeks before bottling this one.
