Stout

[minimilo]

Evening, Is it possible to make a decent Stout using the extract method? If so, has anyone got a recipe they can share with me?

Thanks

Hop Back's Entire Stout is highly thought of and can be brewed as extract

Use 2.5KG DME/Spraymalt or 3KG LME instead of the pale malt.

Thanks OSB that looks just the job.

Brewed the stout yesterday afternoon, looking good this morning!

Didn't have any East Kent Goldings for last 15 mins of the boil, so I just used Goldings.

Cheers.

Just bottled up the stout and I have to say it smells the part. The taste from the FV is pretty good too. Coming in at around 3.8% which is a bit off but never mind.

I shall update with end results in a few weeks.

I just tried this recipe as my first every extract brew. It went well, I think..... Bubbling away now. However, instead of OG of 1043 I got an OG of 1038. Is this a big problem or nothing to worry about? I used 2 tins of brupak pale LME instead of Maris Otter.

BTW, I like the pictures above and nice labels too. Where did you buy the stickers?

I got an OG of 1044 using DME but I did add an extra bit of chocolate malt. I have found in my limited experience of extract brewing that you rarely achieve the OG, perhaps thats because we are using extract (which i presume can vary)? Your brew will be fine if slightly weaker perhaps.

The labels were made on Open Office or PowerPoint (depends if I am at home or at work!), printed out on cheapy paper and stuck on using Pritt Stick.

Hi, Tried this stout last night and I was quite impressed. Tried it alongside a Milestone Black Pearl. The Black Pearl did not smell like stout. The extract stout smelled and tasted as it should!

I will make this brew again!

Thanks might give that extract brew a go

Apparently milk is quite a good adhesive for labels. Never tried it but keep meaning to.

just sampled some of this of easter and it is a really good brew. Would recommend it to a first time extract brewer. Tastes fantastic! Also you can add a bit more chocolate malt as suggested above.
