I don't think that one coopers yeast sachet is enough.
1kg dry malt = about 1.2kg liquid malt.
The toucan stout uses stout + dark and both yeasts and optional dextrose.

Ok thanks. I've got some Coopers dark ales, I'll have a go at reactivating.

Anyway, I have a 1.7kg stout can, a 1kg bag of dark dry malt extract and 1kg of dextrose.  Intending to just use the supplied yeast as well.

I haven't used dry malt extract before and I'm not sure how that would convert to an equivalent volume of the liquid extract... so I'm open to any suggestions on what amounts of each ingredient to use. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers

RP,

Bung it all in & go short at 21 litres.

I tend to go 11g of yeast & find S04 a good one for Stouts. Pitch around 18C.

The Coopers yeast at 7g will do the job however suggest pitching 2 if you have one extra?

Thanks for that. I'll hunt down another sachet or as I said earlier, will try reactivating.

RP,

Better correct the record as I botched not checking your quantities. Ikg of Dark Dried ME is perfect but half your Dext & use 500g in a short batch (21L).

OG should be in the low 1050's & FG will be around 1016. That is with S04 as the yeast. May about the same FG with Coops yeast??

You are correct it is a Best Extra Stout & will drop out with an ABV around 5.3%.

I tend to steep a few malt grains (Roasted & Choc) in for colour & flavour to mix the Stout up a bit. That is when I am feeling adventurous!!

Good Brewing.
