Finally getting back into extract brewing so, my next beer is a Coopers Stout, just a plain old stout no extra additions and using tap water of course I add half a Camden tablet just to help with reducing chemicals in municipal water.

Great video as always Pierre, best home brew channel on KZbin hands down. Glad to be a member, keep up the great work. Would be great to see a German style home brew if you get the chance

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Hi Pete thank you for joining I will definitely have a look at a German style beers for sure, I have a vested interest in the style, just don't know how to go about as yet. Thanks for joining , I'm sure I will not let you down. Cheers

[@PeterVuckovic]

Cooper stout is one of the best I add a quarter of teaspoon of cardamom plus 500gram of raw sugar , 400 grams of golden syrup from Woolworths you won’t be disappointed regards

[@irish7460]

Jesus. I've learnt alot here. Love it. Especially the bit about camden tablets.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Thank you, I aim to show how simple it can be!

[@matthewellis4751]

Fantastic video and very informative, thank you! I've recently brewed my own beer for the first time and wish I'd watched this first! I think i was being too cautious waiting for the no rinse sanitiser to dry and only used 1 bag of yeast. I have the camden tablets but forgot to use one. For my next brew i shall be trying to add some extra flavours, this first one has a bitter aftertaste and isn't that pleasant (I used the Simply Export Stout extract). It also feels too carbonated even though i only used half a teaspoon (500ml bottle).

[@geoffo7968]

hi Pierre, great video as usual. i made a coopers stout standard except a little lactose powder added. 20 litres at 20 degrees temp control. psi at 12. bottled in stubbies. some left after 2 years. A terrific drop, no off flavours. cheers geoff

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Sounds great!

[@mitchmason8386]

I have been all grain brewing for several years but I still love these videos and I think Coopers can of goo is a really good beer. Cheers

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Yeah I realy like Coopers as well. Thank you for the feedback.

[@MrScotchpie]

The Coopers Stout is one of my favourites and even when brewed simply, beats many other kit stouts available in the UK. I do like adding a little coffee and wood chips to mine and always brew it short to give it more umph . Good video.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Funny you should say that, I believe it is finished and it has only been a week. Since I started fermentation. I just checked it and is at 1.015fg I will check it tomorrow and see the results. Looks really good and I am looking forward to drinking it. I would have liked to use a different yeast for more control on the fermentation but unfortunately I didn't have any.

[@honda4100]

How short do you brew it?... I like mine around 18 litres

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

@@honda4100 18 litres! Wow I have only made this once and would think 20 Litres was taking it to the limits?

[@honda4100]

@@SimpleHomeBrew cooper's "Stouter Stout" recipe is made to 18 litres..... love it👌

[@alidavemason4417]

I will shortly be making this www.geterbrewed.com/coffee-milk-stout-ingredient-kit/ but don't know anything about coffee. The recipe says to add 1 litre of your favourite ground coffee at whirlpool. I was thinking of using a cold press to avoid bitter coffee & only want a background coffee flavour. What coffee do you use or do you have any suggestions?

[@lesleehorne2724]

I add a half box wheetbix then a black jelly bean to each bottle when done very nice

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Nice idea I will give that a try.

[@petercatto9795]

Good evening from Camden New South Wales

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Hi Peter Welcome, really appreciate you taking a look

[@Skid-Baxter]

I did not know there was yeast-nutrient in Coopers yeast. That's really cool! Looking forward to the results of the Coopers Stout. Cheers! 🍺🍻

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Me neither until I read it on Brewfathers web site. It says it on some of the packets. Go figure Ha?

Nice dude. Looking forward to the M.Jacks pouch 👍🍺

You and me both!

Stout beer = Yum

So true, 😁

[@angelvazquez4457]

How much DME and which type do you add? I am guessing DME can be added to any Cooper type kit. Love your videos.✊🏾✊🏾 cheers

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

@@angelvazquez4457 hi, I normally use 1kg for extracts. That's it!

[@angelvazquez4457]

@SimpleHomeBrew ok I figured that but wasn't sure. Thank you mate. Keep up the great work.

[@anthonydangerfield6199]

Good to see you are keeping it simple and some extra tips to help new brewer’s in extract brewing good stuff, funny too at times lol 😂 but when is Cornelius going to host a brew day lol 😆

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Thanks 👍 Cornelius is coming back very soon.

[@adrianobueno6984]

Great video, thanks! What is the "tilt"? Can you talk a little more about it?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

The tilt was the first real wireless hydrometer that only works with Bluetooth. It is quite small and reliable. I will look into a video for this product but it's a little old these days that's why I haven't done it.

[@markturkenburg3136]

Great video Pierre. I'm extremely new to brewing & wanted to check the DME you used in this video. This does not come with the Coopers stout pack? Did you use a particular type of DME for stout?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Hi Mark, I used a standard Dry Malt Extract from my brew shop it is just a single grain malt 1kg nothing special about it just a plain malt extract. Cheers Hope you love the hobby Pierre

[@markturkenburg3136]

@@SimpleHomeBrew awesome. Thanks Pierre

[@kaydencrooks2790]

Could you do it without the malt extract? just the can?.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Yes, if you do it this way you will reduce the amount of alcohol produced and also mouth feel will be a little less prevalent. You can add 1kg of dextrose to it to get a better fermentation. Just the same you can just use the one can it should turn out fine.

[@richardburnard5166]

About to do my first Coopers Stout. What is your sterilizer of choice?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Hi Richard I use StellSan. Have fun

[@FairDrinkumBrewing]

did you use a dark ot light dme?

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I used Dry Malt Extract not Light Dry Malt Extract! I think I will use Dark DME next time to cover some of the dryness.

[@FairDrinkumBrewing]

@@SimpleHomeBrew okay cool, I was asking as I'm doing my first stout at the moment and was wondering if dark or light dme would be better.

[@potassiumc]

Can I only do this with a jar extract? Can it be bottled in 3 liter glass bottles? I am new to brewing

[@potassiumc]

I'm new to brewing and accidentally bought the extract like in your video

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Hi Clon, I don't know what you mean by jar extract! and it most certainly can be bottled in a 3 litre bottle providing you put the appropriate amount of finishing sugars in it. Use about 3g per 350ml for a stout.

[@potassiumc]

@@SimpleHomeBrew Thanks for the answer. By "extract" I mean "Coopers DIY Beer Stout" :). For my first experience, I also bought "Ruby Porter".

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

@@potassiumc Very nice, what did the Ruby porter taste like?

[@Rikkus81]

NICE
