Black Nose Stout

My little helper named this one. Big taste.

(Recipe for 23 litres)

2 Best Cellar Dublin Stout Beer kits.
1 cup of roasted barley
2 cups of crystal malt
1 kg Light Dry Malt Extract
1/2 oz of Fuggles hops (bittering)
1/2 oz Fuggles hops (finishing)

Method: Add grains to cold water. Bring to a boil. Remove grains and discard. Add rest of ingredients except finishing hops. Boil for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add finishing hops and simmer for 7 more minutes. Pour into fermenter. Top up to 20 litres with cold water. Check temperature, when below 30° Celsius add yeast. Ferment as usual.

Notes: Fermented very quickly and vigorously. Tastes good - like stout. Too bitter and too sweet maybe.
