Coopers Irish Stout hack job

[TheDrunkenDestrier]

So having waited around 4 months to brew my second batch I grew anxious and impatient and decided I'd throw on my coopers Irish stout kit this morning before work. I was hoping I'd find some steeping grains in town but it was a bust, and in an effort to nudge it towards foreign or export stout territory, I got more fermentables.

This recipe was not really planned or calculated, so I'm really shooting from the hip here.

1 x Coopers Irish stout kit
1.2 kg LME light
500g DME dark
Kit yeast

Boom. Looks the biz, smells good, but only read an OG of 1048, which is around the same as my previous kit which used fewer fermentables. Took reading and pitched at around 18/19 degrees.

Let's hope this isn't awful.

Oh I never said, the title should be hack job, not hack. Clearly this isn't much of a hack.
