Stout

I've been meaning to do a stout for a while. Last week i ordered the simply stout kit from amazon. Really simple to following (as you would expect given its name). I added dark brown sugar as i wanted to give it a treacle taste.
I. G. Was 1.038. I did over fill, was probably closer to 25 ltrs than the 23 I was supposed to.

Usual set up in the garage, with submersible heater set a little lower than usual. I was hoping that by it being a little cooler the fermentation would be a little less aggressive

I'll update when I do the next reading

Overdue update

So it's been a while since I've added anything to the blog. Ive done quite a few brews, a few ales, a red wine, 2 or 3 batches of larger and a lot of cider. I am going to attempt to keep it up-to-date so i can keep track of what I've been doing. I may also add a few updates on the fruit in the garden as i intend to do fruity cider again this year
