Will morgans yeast survive black mambo stout?

[dave84]

Hi everyone, I have decided to try Brew Nerds Black Mambo recipe:

1 Can Black Rock Miner's Stout
1500g Dark Malt Extract (dry)
1140g Dextrose
510g Malto Dextrin
15g Willamette Hops
12ml Licorice Extract
1 x Sachet Muntons Gold Premium Yeast

My local HBS didnt have any Muntons so I grabbed a couple of morgans ale yeast sachets. Do you guys think the yeast survive the high alcohol from this beer im thinking around 9 -10% or am I better off traking down some Muntons?

I'd not use the Muntons just because I don't like the flavour it produces. Have you used it before? I used it in a Black Ale and Irish Cream Ale and they both have the same strange taste.

[dave84]

nope, I havn't used muntons before. I have used and liked the morgans but I am worried that the high alcohol will kill it. What about the yeast from the black rock can, is that any good?

I havn't used the Yeast from the Black Rock Miners Stout but I put this down about a month ago:

Black Rock Miners Stout
150g Roasted Malt Grain
1kg Dark Liquid Malt
1kg Light Spraymalt
20g Goldings Hops
10ml Liquorice Extract
Safale S-04 Yeast

Should be about 6.6% to 6.9% and everything went fine with fermentation.

I recon you'll get 8-8 1/2%, not 10.

I personally would go with a re-cultured coopers stout yeast, or a Wyeast Irish Ale.

You could still use the other yeast, but you MAY need to finish with a wine yeast.

Thanks for the info I will go with the Wyeast

Excellent choice.
