Coopers Irish Stout Carbonation?

[PaulPablo]

Hi guys..

 

2 Weeks ago I made a Coopers irish Stout with

 

x1 Coopers irish Stout

x1 1kg Light Dry malt Extract

x1 500g Brewing Sugar

x1 500g 60 Crystal malt

 

its been 2 weeks now and i did test/taste yesterday and it seems the fermentation is almost finished.Tasted great so far.

 

Now my question is,do u carbonate a stout just like any with cooper carbonation drops or what?

[Hairy]

Carbonate it lower than a pale ale.

 

If you have the 1litre bottles then use two carb drops. One carb drop for the 740ml bottles.

 

Or bulk prime if you want more control over the carbonation.

Bulk priming is a must I say! Carbonate it really low, like 100ml/23L then use a syringe to pump up the head with that nitrogen (Guiness style) head. Just pour the stout like you normally would then with the syringe give the beer a pump or two and, voila! Got yerself a Guiness, Mate![cool]
