The black treacle works really well with this kit , I hoyed some in with one of these a while back , went down a treat .

I did one of these last winter and it was good.I used 1kg of brewing sugar as opposed to your enhancer and malt extract but I did use the black treacle.It sounds good tell us how it works out

[dylanharrison85]

Do you use the sugar in the fv or in second fermentation

[dylanharrison85]

I was looking into this kit for my second home brew experience

If it turns out half decent i will post up my thoughts.

dylan,
Look in the FAQ`s and Stickies thread for `Ditch`s Stout Masterclass` (top of this page).
Follow Ditch`s instructions to the letter and I MEAN TO THE LETTER and you will have a Stout ready in 2 weeks!
You have got 9 weeks till Christmas so you better get brewing now because the first one will be drunk within a week!
Trust me! I know! My first `Ditch`s Stout` didn`t last a week!
Buy another FV (VF to you) and brew one every week, bottle or barrel one, brew another one while the other one is brewing! Simples!
You are Doomed!
Good luck with Brewing!
