I've been trying to brew stout from a coopers Irish stout kit.
My 1st effort was 26 years ago and it was pure vinegar. (probably wasn't a coopers kit but I can't remember)
My 2nd go was about 5 weeks ago and I'm not that hopeful because I didn't properly monitor the temperature during fermentation but I'll leave it another week or two and see what happens.
My 3rd attempt was a week ago and things are looking a lot better so far.
Practice makes perfect. Hopefully
Welcome.
That kit actually makes a pretty decent stout with just a little hacking :)
