Muntons imperial stout

[dbuchanan]

Can anyone confirm whether the two tins in this kit have the same or different contents?

 

[Ezza]

I think it's the same

 

[dbuchanan]

Yes it is the same Muntons confirmed and I used both tins in the end which also confirmed they were the same

I've got one of these waiting to go over the weekend. the plan is to pottle it, put it away and forget it's there until the dark winter nights return

On at 1046 with a volume of about 18 L and two weetabix added for head condition.

Interesting! Mines gone well. It’s being pressured brewed and tastes fab. What I’m not sure of is whether it’s finished fermenting as repressurises suggesting continued CO2 production

At what stage did you add the Weetabix and does it achieve?

I put them I at the beginning as I was mixing it all up. Supposed to improve head retention. After 7 days fermentation I have given it a rouse and added three teaspoons of yeast nutrient. I usually give two weeks fermentation. SG is down to 1010 suggesting about 4.4% which is respectable for a stout if not particularly Imperial.

No change in gravity so I'll probably bottle tomorrow afternoon. I'm on the night shift tonight so the morning is a write off.

Bottled and in the brew fridge conditioning.
