Now that sounds good...i have a kit ready to be brewed here for my dad soon, thinking 25L brew, adding in a small mash to add additional flavor and 2KG of medium spray malt, looking for a little extra strength for the winter months ;) 19L to dad in a cornie and the rest to me an mini kegs.

Got to love Coopers Stout ;)

I might have messsed this up! #-o
Bottled it today.
I didn`t put in the Earl Grey, just 38 Vanilla Tea Bags.
I had 2 cups of Vanilla Tea as a taster, Very Vanillarryyyyy!
I thought it might mellow out in a 20Lt Brew.
It did NOT mellow out in a 20Lt Brew! #-o
Bloody Hell Mun, this is Vanilla to the nth degree! :D :D
Still, the Ladies might like it.

If you like Vanilla with a bit of Stout in it, this is it!

OC,
If you can get to Holland and Barratt, get the `Rooibos` Tea bags, really full of flavour.
Both are great, but I prefer the Earl Grey.
Put the Tea bags in a sanitised, rinsed muslin/voile bag weighted down with a bag of sanitised/rinsed bag of marbles.
Put them in FV on day 7, take them out a day before bottling, squeeze all the juice out into the FV.
I don`t know if you have seen this post, it is worth a read anyway just to see Monkeybrews` last post! :D

OC,
Do you think I am fibbing about the Smoked Ham Joint in the FV for 2 weeks?
How very dare you! I am most offended! [-X [-X
Look in the `Tap Room` on `Funky Brews`.
