All the above posts are very interesting, thank you for the pictures.

I'm busy drinking the Coopers Irish Stout, its lovely. I did a little experiment using left over carbonation drops and dark demara sugar.

I had a fantastic result, both methods gave good carbonation, but the demara sugar had better head formation and retention. There also seemed a something added to the flavour using the demara sugar. All in all a good result.

Fantastic thread - well done, very useful

Apologies for the extremely late delay in replying to your question.

I used a bakers teaspoon of demara sugar per 500ml bottle and got fantastic results.

Im not to sure, a bakers tsp is probably more accurate than just using a regular tsp.

It was a tsp the swmbo uses for baking so I used a level tsp per 500ml.

Have you had a go at the Coppers Irish Stout? I thought it was good, really good comments from folk who tried it.

I bottled a stout a mate of mine and I shared. We steeped some crystal malt and added that, a tin of treacle. We then fermented for 2wks then bottled his half. I the dry hopped with 25g fuggles for a week and bottled a week ago. Tasted great. Just waiting for some carbonation then I'll try one this weekend hopefully. Interesting experiment.

I find the Coopers website have some sound starting points for modifying the kits. It's a good basis for really experimenting
