| Malt prepared Coopers Stout |
Yes, I managed to find some 'time to write on the blog ...! Unfortunately, this period is "understood" from the point of view business and you have to wait for more news I have for you in Serbia!
If nothing else I can "post" finally get your first glimpse of my second creation: Sandra Stout.
The tasting took place Sept. 6, just finished the second fermentation.
Before leaving the technical details for this first report, I can tell you that the beer was obviously still bitter and the taste was to test the quality and potential. Honestly, I liked it, both in appearance than taste. In a few days I should again take note of the taste of ripeness and, of course, you will be notified.

Tasting after 2 weeks: foam as the typical stout, but with some bubbles slightly larger than normal. Normal time of collapse of the foam for a stout, which is creamy. Color of dark beer. At the opening of the bottle is significant smell roasted barley malt and caramel , as later in the glass. He feels, however, still a faint odor of yeast. As slight astringency of unripe fruit. The aftertaste is bitter but still the taste of caramel. It is also quite acidic due to the lack of maturity. Body is tending to dense but not syrupy, carbonated the right for the style of stout. Creamy. Still needs a good ripening, I think at least a few more months.

| transfer procedure |
Procedure: Second time I brewery and, among other things, a short distance from the first. This time I ran blindly the instructions included in the can of malt Cooper. It would seem that the procedure is better. To lower the temperature, I used the technique of the fan, ice water and wet cloths. She once I remembered to take the initial density (Normal cmq).

| The bottles are ready |
Errors and Notes: Next time if there's too hot, I try to prepare the ice to lower the temperature ( maybe 2 liters). Because of its temperature, I poured in the second fermentor (I took the opportunity to filter also) and I put 2 boxes of ice and stuck a wet towel to lower the temperature. So I cleaned the fermenter 1 ^, where after two days I ritravasato for priming bottling. The density of the beer is still slightly high at 22/08/2010 so I waited to 23/08/2010 and I added some 'ice on the temperature too high. After the split and have reached the temperature of 24 ° C, I prepared the bottles, tubes and sugar to be added to the priming. The bottling, when they have this time on the tap, it went much better than the first time.
I must say that this second beer has good potential, but it turns out in about a month ... I hope I'm gonna.
