This is such an accessible hobby, and such great results from early on 
, I hope the stout is just as good as the first two batches!

Can't go wrong with Coopers' stout kits. No looking back now!
Very accessible, when you consider you can buy a kit containing everything you need for around £45.
if you make one and decide it’s not for you you still have 40 pints for around a pound a pint so even if you threw everything away after first brew you’ve not really lost anything.

Excellent and well done. I just purchased the Mangrove Jacks Irish Red Ale. I’ve also just bought the Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA again. First time to buy the same kit twice. I’ll be trying out the Mangrove Jacks Juicy Session IPA next weekend. Looking forward to it. Best of luck with your brews.
I made the juicy IPA earlier today and it’s gone crazy bucket lid is bowed up and airlock bubbling like crazy
There’s 4 inches of froth on the top of the wort

The reviews are always very good. The reviews on Mangrove Jacks kits in general are always very good. I’ve done the Bavarian Wheat beer, Pink Grapefruit IPA, Juicy Session IPA and soon the Irish Red Ale.I made the juicy IPA earlier today and it’s gone crazy bucket lid is bowed up and airlock bubbling like crazy

Just started the coopers Irish stout, added Morgan’s master malt roasted, planing to try it with the caramalt next.

That’s definitely going on the to do list
Just looked at this sounds great what and how much do you add to it ie. spray malt or malt extract ?

It's the standard 1.7kg of malt extract, so depending on what you want to do. I brewed it straight a few times with the Coopers beer enhancer, a few times both 1kg of light or dark DME with 200g of muscavado sugar. Most recently due to time constraints I used 1kg of DME and steeped 200kg dark crystal and 50g chocolate.
There are a few posts about "pimping" the kits if you are in to that thing by forum member terrym. Quick search find this one here

Welcome to the fraternity - I started witha Youngs lager kit and this weekend will be my 251st brew!
I started 15th Nov 2014 tom caxton kit and just bottled brew no 67 for my sons wedding. Some hobbies may come and go but brewing is a tough one to walk away from.
