Nice creamy looking stout Jamie, I tried mine after 2 weeks but that was 2 weeks ago, it's bloody hard to wait but the first taste was incredible due to the Malt Extract addition. Enjoy.

I know how hard it can be to keep track of though. I keg and bottle a few extra have box full of the unknown dont know what is what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I probably am too fussy but I do keep a one to a page diary of every brew with ALL details including each Milk Crate/Boxes or whatever labelled with precise dates etc, so far it is working & I can control vintages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo the Reprobate Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Norris! said: I have been using a carb cap filling them up and then just taking the cap off and putting a regular one on. It did lead to some spillage but it seemed to not get oxidated, from the pic, and the carb seemed to hold up, probably lost a few psi but I figure I like my beer really carbonated so they probably fall in line to the guidelines but I don't know for sure. It seemed to work well enough for me to try it. Cheers, mate. Liquid line in to the bottle via the cap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought that the Coopers Irish Stout can had some in it. Still sounds nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Fat Yak clone - Side-by-side taste test The real thing: Pine aroma Smooth flavour and bitterness My version: Pine, citrus fruit and a little alcohol aroma Noticeable alcohol taste compared to the commercial version. This dissipated as my taste buds became accustomed to the flavour. This taste might also be from the Nelson Sauvin hops. A very good clone of the current commercial brew 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine finished lower SG than expected. Plus I brewed it to go into a keg at supposedly 4.7%. Finishing higher plus adding sugar for bottle carbonating meant that the bottles finished up with higher alcohol than intended. First world problems! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
