If you're looking for all-grain recipes, I made the "dusty mud Irish stout" from "the complete joy of homebrewing" over the holidays. Very tasty!

I've had some success with brown sugar, and dark brown sugar (no more than 500g) before. Adds a rummy aftertaste; anyone tried James Squire Rebellion Porter?

I havent made this yet- it's on next after my schwarzbier.

It's a malt extract Imperial.

4.9kg dark malt extract
250g roast barley
250g patent
350g oven-roasted crystal
60g perle (bittering)
20g perle (flavour)
20g cascade (aroma)
20g haller/herz (aroma)

18L, bulk prime with LDM

Oh, and I'm deciding between a Coopers stout yeast- re-cultured, or a Wy Irish ale.

I can't wait to give this a go.

PLUMMY STOUT
One can of Munton's (or similar) Irish Stout
2 Kg's Dark Liquid Malt
500g Jar Plum Conserve (IXL make it).
250g Lactose
250g DME
2 Sachets Munton's Gold Yeast

TIPS
Use plenty of boiling water in dissolving and stir very long and hard
OG 1060 ---------- FG 1020
Fermenting time is a couple of extra days
If you make it and save some for a year or 2 it will be really great


Cheers

I like using up to 250g chocolate grain in my stouts.
Morgan's Dockside & Munton's are my favorite kits.

Cheers,
Shagger.
