In this video, I brewed a classic #Irish Dry #Stout recipe, modeled after a well known example from Ireland, but added my own spin on it with a 10 min East Kent Goldings aroma addition. Overall this beer is not very difficult to brew, and it is very forgiving. I had some issues with fermentation, so my beer took 3 weeks to reach final gravity, and unfortunately finished at a relatively high final gravity for the style, but still tasted great and surprisingly felt dry in the mouth anyway. The beer tasted like its classic roasty inspiration and had a nice earthy aroma note that I loved. If only it was on Nitro!

Sweetness, flavor, and mouthfeel in a stout (in most beers, really) all improve as the product warms to around 50ºF. "Ice cold" is definitely for the BMC crowd! Nice looking beer. I've got a malted oat stout at 3.7% ABV to toast with you .

@Hannes_Lind 4 жыл бұрын

I used Safale SO-4 and had same problem with a long fermentation process and it stalling a bit higher then wanted. I think the roasted barley may contribute to a slower fermentation. Found this after debugging my last stout brew. "The application of considerable levels of dark malt was found to lower the attenuation, mainly as a result of lower levels of fermentable sugars and amino acids in dark wort samples. In fact, from the darkest caramel malts and from roasted malts, practically no fermentable material can be hydrolysed by pilsner malt enzymes during mashing."

@TheApartmentBrewer 4 жыл бұрын

That's definitely also a possibility, but so many Irish stout recipes follow this recipe structure and finish lower. Oh well, there's always something to look forward to next time!

Hi. Great video. As soon as the current brew is done with lagering, this one is next. Just a short question. The recipe is for 5,5 gallon (20,8 liter) but after the mash you sparge until 8 gallon, 30,5 liter. That does not make sense? how much mashing water do you start and did you end up with 5,5 gallon or more? My kettle is only 30 liters. 8 Gallon wont fit. thanks! from Amsterdam

Great video as always. Have you tried using oats to kinda cheat the creamy mouthfeel? I know it's not to style but could be an interesting hack. Also maybe trying a different yeast that produces more glycerol, I think Wyeast 1469 might help in that category (if you're not already using that for the bitter).

@TheApartmentBrewer 4 жыл бұрын

Ended up using 1968 for the bitter actually. I haven't used oats in an irish stout but they certainly do work well in other stouts to get that effect! Interesting idea, cheers!

You have the intertap system, pickup the stout nozzle for $12 USD. A 20cu/ft nitro tank is about $75 filled, and a nitro reg is about $75 Least that is what it cost me. It is amazing to have! I actually slowed down brewing just to upgrade the equipment putting money I'd spend on kits to the gear.

If you're getting too much foaming, wouldn't that mean your lines are a) too short, b) too large an ID, or c) both? I'd think you could just turn down the psi for serving and avoid foaming, but of course that *would* slow down your pour.

No such thing as stupid questions. The answer is yes, you would have to wait roughly two weeks while the beer naturally carbonates in the bottles after you add priming sugar. You can do the same thing with a keg and again would need to wait, or you can force carbonate with CO2 and drink literally the same day you keg it.

I have shied away from the additional flavor added stouts for the most part, but I'll probably try one out eventually. I like to use natural flavors where I can but I am not sure how to get a natural peanut butter flavor in a stout off the top of my head. Pretty much the only viable option is a flavor extract, which can sometimes have the effect of tasting artificial to me. Either way I've definitely had a few PB stouts that I enjoyed and I will probably try it eventually. I think you should go for it though!
