Paul; I've only ever used a kilogram of malt in mine. But, Coopers sent me a kit of their
Irish Stout and included a box of their own Enhancer with it, so they obviously feel that stuff's got something to do with the way to go.
Must admit; Having never before used any sort of enhancer before, indeed, never having made this Irish kit, I didn't want to confuse the issue by making it radically different from how I usually do my Stouts. I wanted the clearer comparison, see?
As it happens, the Irish Stout is on tonights menu. I'll be tasting it for the first time and shall have to see how it compares
What you should be doing in the meantime? Anybodys guess, really. Just because I make mine in a certain way doesn't mean a lot, in the greater scheme of things. Some people choose to make it with Dark malt. I have some of that here myself and shall give it a try one day too. Nothing's written in stone and I'm yet to hear of anyone wrecking a Coopers Stout, no matter what they do
