Add treacle to stout?

[jackflash]

It's conditioning a few days now. I'll wait until it's 2 weeks and try it.

I take it the yeast is just munching through the fermentables go on throw in another 2
Fecking expensive beer!

If it's half as nice as Founder's Imperial Stout, it'll be worth it!

Update on this: one week in bottle and opened one. Taste is really good, treacle coming forward in a really good way. Nice mouthfeel too

Leave 2 bottles with a friend for a 6 and 12 month taste test and I'll bet they become treacle monsters
Glad you got there!
It was just 2 tins in the end yeah?

2 tins in total yeah. If I can manage to hang onto a bottle, I will but it's so hard to leave em when they are nice! I'd love to enter it into the Smithwicks comp as it's way nicer than my winter warmer!

Hence the reason why you leave em with a friend

just re-read it there, missed it first time around!

Treacle is the second extraction from sugar cane/beets (golden syrup is the first) and is still mostly sucrose.

If you really want to punch up the treacly notes, try using blackstrap molasses, which is third runnings - about half the fermentables, but far more flavour.

From what I've read, you get much more bang for your buck - between 4 and 8oz will do a 20l batch - and the taste is also much slower to fade.

Thanks a lot slug trap. I'll try that in my next batch
