From Extract To Glass: Crafting Muntons Milk Stout Like A Pro!

[@danssv8]

That looks great Pierre , enjoy watching your video. Looks like a pretty strong beer and tasty too , must have a lot of Trickle or Mollasas in it. Enjoy and have a good one mate.

Stout is a great extract option. I have made many fantastic stouts with kits, even my BFO Stout was extract based. Have looked at the Muntons Flagship but got burnt with the lowewr range kits and haven't been able to jump again, that and I'm not convinced that the Kegland stock isn't quite old. Looks and sounds good though. Do like me a milk stout.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Yeah I have to agree with you there, Some of the kits I have gotten from these guys has been very close to best by dates

[@tubedinoz]

Wow. That looks and sounds like a cracking milk stout, especially for an extract. Cheers mate 🍻

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I will be trying it today, now that it has aged. Will be posting the results and a bit of an explanation as well on Friday 7th.

​@@SimpleHomeBrew​Brilliant. I'll try keep an eye out for the video. Cheers

Hi mate. I love a Muntons kit ! I've done the Flagship West Coast IPA! Absolutely stunning!!! Probably sweet as you didn't take it to 23ltrs 👍

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

You are spot on, I will be making sure of that next time.

[@davew2072]

Looks yummo

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Thank you 😋

I really need to get another stout going, been a bit of a whisky snob, lately, lol. I've just got the bog-standard Coopers real ale fermenting at the moment, should be right to bottle or keg by Monday.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Very nice! Coopers always works for me!

[@ExpressGuitarTutorials]

Hey mate, do you just get the dry hands in the cooler months? If so I find the QV eczema daily wash is the only thing that helps mine

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

Your spot on, in the winter I always have issues with dry hands. I will try what you suggest. Thanks

[@davec4955]

You should get yourself a refractometer for pre fermentation gravity readings, you only need to use a couple of drops of wort.🍻

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

I've been on the hunt for one, my local brew shop and brew suppliers were out of stock the last time I checked. Do you have a suggestion as to what one is good?

[@CascadesHomebrew]

What gravity did your Pill read? I suspect your wort was not mixed well with the added water.

[@SimpleHomeBrew]

The pill read the same, I was a bit negligent on my calculations with the water, the wort was supposed to be 23 litres but I only had 20 litres. This is why the reading was so high, it still tastes very good I will be explaining this in the tasting video.

@@SimpleHomeBrew Yeah but 1.090 is about 12% abv if that was a wine and the yeast would fully attenuate. My guess is that a) the lactose (unfermentable sugars) added about 20 points and the unfermentables in the LME would be another , say 15 points, so 35 points of unfermentable sugars- so the actual fermentable gravity is about 1.055 or about 7%. Assuming that the wort was well mixed...
