Coopers Stout with coffee

[@philipmark7693]

Hi mate going to do a extract brew in rain water shouldn I use a Camden tablet cheers

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

No, you don't need to. We only use Camden for chlorine and chloramine naturalization. If you boil the water before using it , it should remove bacteria and work for a great tasting beer.

I’m brewing a stout atm one Irish stout and one stout both coopers 400g lactose 1kg corn syrup 1kg dark malt 1kg blend 1kg dextrose according to the instructions my brew shop gave me day 4-5 (started it on the 29th of May) put the flavour in so I may try coffee beans

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Sounds great! I found that when I came home from work I would have a pint of this beer (by the way tasted great) that night I would wake up around three in the morning wide awake. So I have been reluctant make it again.

Hi Pierre, tried this but used the Coopers Ruby Porter instead. I found the coffee flavour was a little too full-on with 200g of coffee beans. Tasted after 7 days carbonating in bottles. Did you find it diminished with further conditioning?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I am a big coffee drinker so I felt it was a great level of potency. The Brew mellowed over time and became very nice after about 1 year. I will doing another one soon.

I've recently made something similar & added 170gm of coffee beans which is all I had on hand. Do the beans have to be removed after 7 days? What would the effect on flavour be if they are left in till end of fermentation?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I left mine in all the way through, I didn't find it affects the final product at all. I however have a new perspective after making the stout, I found that the caffeine was a problem as I really enjoyed it before bed and kept waking at 3am. Some brewers say to steep the beans in hot water and just add that before fermenting it.

@@SimpleHomeBrew thank you Pierre. Great work

Hi Pierre, love your channel! Just wanted to ask how many litres did you end up at with this brew? I'm going to do a Cooper's Stout (without coffee) in a couple weeks, just wanted to know how many litres you'd recommend. Thanks!

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I aimed for 23 litres off memory. I believe I got to it wit a little left over for bottling. Aged it for almost 6 months, as it aged it got better and better. Kept me awake though.

[@altair458]

I will definitely try this. Thanks.👍

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

It was a great beer 🍻

[@kaneandmilly]

what yeast?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I actually used the yeast that came with the Coopers Stout. This beer lasted me about 8 months and tasted great till the end. Thanks for asking. Pierre
