DIY HomeBrew Cooper's Irish Stout Recipe Making and Taste Testing [Cooper's Irish Stout Home-brew]. This one is an estimated 5%. Great tasting. I like it better than guiness. I’ve had a couple stouts that are just outstanding. This one really has a nice sweeter taste to it. I was really surprised on how this one turned out. It has some wonderful notes of coffee and just a hint of licorice coupled with it’s nice and roasted smokey profile. It is a fully bodied beer with a smooth and creamy soft mouthfeel with moderate carbonation (but more than expected). As you can see from the video the sun has a hard time penetrating through the glass of the fine black stout thanks to the roasted barley. I can’t take full credit for making it as I purchased all of the ingredient. It was just a matter of putting them together correctly and waiting. It has a slight aroma of graininess and smoke. This batch turned out without any harsh characteristics or one characteristic overpowering the other, rather, just a nice enjoyable pleasant mix of all. The froth and creaminess of this stout seems to balance it all out and bring it all together. This beer is Vegan, however, I’m not sure if it’s necessarily Gluten free. No animals were killed during the brewing of this beer. The question gets asked sometimes, “Is Stout Good For you?”. It’s allegedly full of antioxidants and flavonoids which are the same thing that give fruits and veggies their dark color. Getting these anti-oxidants into your system is great for your heart and what a better way to do it than a tall glass of this nice home brewed delicious stout. Antioxidants are molecules that neutralise free radicals – unstable molecules that can harm your cells. We usually find them in foods such as raspberries, kale and artichokes – amidst many other fruits, vegetables and nuts. The health benefits associated with a diet packed with plants are at least partially due to the variety of antioxidants they provide your body! It’s been said that this will slow down the deposits of cholesterol on artery walls reducing risk of heart attacks. Stouts also generally have less calories per serving than other lighter beers!

Ordered my Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen home brew kit from amazon. I'll post the link below This turned out really nice and was super easy to make. The kit comes with a nice set of directions. I used my Cooper's DIY Beer fermenter once the boiling and cooling processes were done.

7. Cool the wort.

8. Once cool, (siphon) add wort to fermenter leaving sludge at bottom

9. Fill remainder of fermenter (to 5 gallon mark) with water

10. Pitch yeast and add to wort once temp is 78F or lower (not warm to touch)

11. Let sit in fermenter for 2 weeks then bottle using priming sugar or carbonation drops
