Robert Pretty Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Couldn't find a review on this. So here it is. Another great brewprint. Nice coffee start with a caramel finish. This was bottled and is only at 4 weeks, so still quite young but very drinkable. A good winter stout. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coopers barrel aged stout that can be found on draught around Adelaide is a favourite of mine. If this is anything like that then you're on to a pretty special stout.

Captain 3 Droids Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Out of interest a few years ago I brewed 23l of a recipe for milk stout using a tin of Coopers stout. Incidentally I had just finished the last of the port from a 10l oak barrel so I put 10l of the stout in that with a cork/hole drilled for an airlock (further fermentation due to the sugar in the port. This was bottled after 10 days with sugar drops for carbonation. After 6 weeks the stout still had a fairly strong port/spirit taste to it so I put the remaining bottles away. After 12 months delicious, after 18 months exceptional. This is how I filled the bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking an oak barrel would be a great addition to the kit if you were to brew a lot of stouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltham Brauhaus Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Coopers Special Old Stout is magnificent at 12 to 14 weeks. I thinks its the sweet spot for this brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Will do. Currently drinking the Ruby Porter at 11 weeks and it's good. Probably get better as well. I bottle all those high alcohol brews in long necks so that they can be tried at different intervals. Usually start at 4 weeks and go up by 2 week intervals or so. The advantage of finely getting some stock, i can have an easy drinker in the flo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Haven't done this one for over a year. Is one of my winter favorites. Just to many good Brewprints. Bottled this up for long term storage. I still have one bottle left in the fridge from the original batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Another one I haven't done for a while. Forgot how much I enjoy a good stout. This is at the 6 week mark. Simply delicious. Edited October 29, 2022 by Robert Pretty 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bottle my Special Old Stout 2-1/2 weeks ago, had to sample one yesterday. I am very happy with this brew, looking forward to tasting in another few weeks to see how it is doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
