I have brew my own stout last year at ABV 5.9% it went well and my family love it. Today I though try other one but this time is to add plums because I have trying St. Peter's Plum porter I really like it.
So is that easy to do plum? squeeze juices and drain in a filter to collect piece skins debris and put into a fermentation bucket and mix with stout and dextrose?

I did my stout from a 25 litre bucket (23 litre with a gap on the top to give the gases to escape) add dextrose 2kg, 500g extra dark malt with a Young brew wine Dessert/High Alcohol yeast. So how much liquid of plums juice in?

and about the honey. I will do on my other fermentation bucket with stout can I add a soft honey jar or the hard honey? how much of honey to put it in?

I am a beginner brew not a long ago I would love to learn more.

How did this go? Big fan of St Peters Plum Porter myself.
Shame nobody helped :(

Yep it is shame nobody is help me or know how do it, I have found a book from Amazon.co.uk it said a very a little info about Plums cider except stout. I am wait couple more weeks for the plums to turn ripe at my local farm then I will start as a experiment.

Here is what I bought:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008CYB61S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003K2CTFO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MA5YG3G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006ZMGSSK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.brewstore.co.uk/7kg-dextrose?___SID=U

25 litre fermentation bucket
10 litre of water (give room for plum juice, malt because it increase the volume liquid and the gases to escape or it will explode)
500g of dark malt (put a little luke warm water and mix with malt to stop go lump then pour in bucket)
Whole pack of Stout (put a pack in a warm water first to make it go thin then put into fermentation bucket)
Dextrose 3kg (Last time my stouts was 5.9% ABV with 2kg)
I guess round 30 to 40kg of plums first is to remove pit seeds then squeeze into juice round 10-15 litre approx and filter the juice collect fruit debris and pour into a fermentation bucket (made sure it have more room top for air when add last juice) wind up with spoon. It sound about right but it is experiment if I did wrong try again and again till it right.

Add yeast

leave it in a shade or dark room with bubble airlock on for about 4 to 5 weeks till it stops bubble round 20-22c this yeast will survive up to 32c.

I will let you know in December if it is successful.

I made plum porter, I followed what this guy did and used Uncle Roy's plum essence.
