Great name too! This was a real good one, still have a few bottles left although its so popular that I've had to give quite a few away! Got a lovely roasted edge to it - almost coffee-like, more like makenson than guinness. I think if I ever brewed this one again I may add a few oats.

I only ask because I'm in the middle of (drinking) my second batch of the Ode to Arthur recipe I've been brewing. This one's excellent. I've been drinking it out of a Guinness glass and this stuff's sticking to the sides like all-bran (ahem - sorry). Sweet. -Barry Tony on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2888 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:08:35 +0000 Tony 2888@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ :o) well spotted I'm not big on celebrities - or their antics, but was thinking that we should all come up with a brew and name it after a celeb. Now .. I should have thought about this before I started writing as I can't think of anything clever. Errrrmm... Elton John: Don't turn your back on this beer or you'll be walking funny for a week Hmmm I'm going to have to go away and think about this ... I just don't know enough celebrities!

I think I'd bung in another kilo if pale if I did it again - or maybe some oats, just to give it a little more body, but I have to admit, I'm rather pleased with it. Good head on it too.

I'm on the edge of my seat here - have you sampled it yet? -Barry Greg on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2686 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:03:34 +0000 Greg 2686@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ That's excellent Tony.

What an effin nightmare. Halfway through I notice that the little bottler tap seal is leaking. I had to complete the racking, strip to the waist, videne up my arm (and nails), stand around for a minute looking conspicuous and then sink my arm into the brew to try and tighten up the tap. Managed about a 5mm extra turn but it made no difference. I was planning on racking the ginger wine anyway, so I had to leave the stout, rack the wine, clean and sterilise everything, finish that and then transfer the stout into the vacated fv. On the positive, the stout tasted pretty good if a little sweet! We live and learn! Nath on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2521 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:42:29 +0000 Nath 2521@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Great piccys as per norm tony. Will be nice to see what it turns out like, last stout I done was a kit coopers with dark spray malt and that was pretty great. If its a good un my missus will want me to ill up the spare keg! Tony on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2512 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:29:48 +0000 Tony 2512@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ :o) That really was a rotflol My tea is starting to taste like an also-ran .. with a bitter edge than can be matched against £1400 that my season ticket costs. Although, having said that... we are top for the moment :o) Conditioning time ..? Good question! No idea, I've never made one before but going by the ABV, this is one of the weakest beers I've ever made... so I think a couple of weeks should do it. I'll be sampling frequently so will report back. I'd say.. go crack open one of those bottles right now and let us know what it's like! :o) Bazza on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2511 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:54:01 +0000 Bazza 2511@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Excellent pics, Tony! One question - does tea taste better in an Arsenal mug? I usually have mine in a Liverpool mug, but my tea is tasting less like 4th place with every weekend <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_sad.gif" title=":(" class="bb_smilies" /> How long's conditioning time for your stout? I bottled some over 2 weeks ago and don't know what divine force has prevented me having a taste. The roasted barley smells amazing! Almost like, dare I say, ...Guinness? -Barry Tony on "Inside Stout" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/inside-stout#post-2510 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:58:26 +0000 Tony 2510@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ ok .. pics as promised. One change - I upped the EKG at 30 min to 30g. I just love my hops. Everything went to plan .. weird, that's never happened before. There was one slight worry, I couldn't see any cold break...? I've put it down to the colour of the brew .. anyone else have experience of stouts and looking for the cold break?

Was wondering how basic I could keep the ingredients, so giving this a bash... INSIDE STOUT Batch Size: 24.00 L 4.00 kg Pale Malt 1.00 kg Barley, Flaked 0.50 kg Roasted Barley 30.00 gm Northern Brewer [10.50 %] (60 min) 20.00 gm Goldings, East Kent [4.60 %] (30 min) 20.00 gm Goldings, East Kent [4.60 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) 1.27 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 15.0 min) Wyeast Labs #1084 Estimated Original Gravity: 1.047 SG Estimated Final Gravity: 1.012 SG Estimated Color: 45.7 EBC Bitterness: 38.5 IBU Estimated Alcohol by Volume: 4.54 % Dough-in was smack on 5.30am. I've done two test boils in my burco since I repaired the element plate, increased the size of the holes in my strainer (from something imperial that my dad had - to 2.5mm), and all seems well. Fingers Crossed. If it doesn't hold up I'll have to change the name to 'chuck it stout'. Pics later
