Best Stoudt Ever

Review by Shawn R. on 11/5/2012

Brewed this on a whim and so glad that I did. Had trouble with the yeast starting but bought another smack pack and off it went. Used 14oz of excellent Scotch and started drinking after a month in bottles. Each couple of bottles gets better and my friends want me to make more. Great kit

Difficult to wait!

Well, I finally got a chance to brew my Whiskey Barrel Stout and the kit was super easy. Thank you for such a user friendly product and support. I know the wait is the hardest part.I will certainly be a repeat customer. Thanks again!

Good taste, had to oxygnenate it to get the yeast to go, but overall good kit

Jim Beam

I used Jim Beam and did not aerate. It turned out great. I used an igloo 5 gallon cooler for the second fermentor. Definately filter before putting into priming tank. I used a plastic coffee filter. Very smooth and strong.

So Far so Good

I started brewing this beer New Year's day. Kept it in the primary for just under 2 weeks, racked to a secondary and kept it in there for about a month. (I used Jameson, NOT Jack. Jack Daniels and I don't like each other!) The instructions say it takes about 20 days to carbonate. I opened one up after 2 weeks and it had plenty. Tastes a little sweet but will definitely condition beer for like a month. I'm hoping it will mellow a bit. Other then that I think it's fantastic. Since the OG is up there, I recommend using a yeast starter and aerator to reach the FG. Also, just know when you are syphoning to your priming tank that the oak/spice clogs tubing very easily.
