Hi all
While my American IPA is conditioning I thought I'd try a Cooper's Irish stout.
I took the kit malt and added 1kg of medium spray malt and 500g of black treacle (saw a few others had done similar).
It had an OG of 1055 so I'm hoping for around the 5% mark when she's done (currently at 1012).
I tried a little sample when I took the latest gravity reading and I would describe the taste of treacle as unsubtle.
I hope this would mellow in time with conditioning but was wondering about maybe dry-hopping with some pellets for a couple of days before conditioning starts.
I picked up 100g of Simcoe pellets from my local shop but wondered if anyone had any advice on whether or not this is a good idea?
