I went and got all the ingredients today and am going to use 2 kilo's of malt they gave me light dry malt I got home and thought I should have got dark dry malt I rang and they have it, should I swap it or use the light dry malt being a stout? Also I'm only going to steep 200g of chocolate malt which should give a bit of chocolate tones. I was going to use Nottingham but they suggested Lallemand English Style Ale Yeast so hopefully they are on the right track.

I reckon the Dark Malt would be better, but it depends on how far you have to travel, it will still be nice though. That yeast would be spot on.

Anything under 7 - 8% definitely isnt that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought you may have been confused as to what an RIS is. I'm a bit fussy when it comes to beer styles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDM should be ok if you've got the can of Stout and the chocolate malt to go with it. Lots of the Stout recipes have a pale malt base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbloke Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 LDM will be fine. But for stout I would use dark. Only 5 minute drive I would change it. IMO adding any malt to any beer is a good thing. Commenting here is fine AFAIAC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know that John (the son) has left & Wayne & his wife are the owners but wasn't aware of any other changes. As it turned out I didn't get there as I am getting a new Alternator fitted in the 4WD, the bloody price of that is enough to buy a micro-brewery Edited June 9, 2023 by Classic Brewing Co 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 40l Waeco but sold it as I wasn't using it enough because I was staying in Motels/Hotels/Cabins all over AUS before I retired. It saved me lots of money as you know it would.
