Golden Stouts are easy to do, but hard to perfect

you basically brew like a blonde ale, and secondary with cocoa nibs, coffee beans, vanilla beans, basically anything to give it a stout flavor but with no color

Never tried one, sounds awesome.

Both of these sound interesting and are very new to me as I have never heard of either until they were posted in this thread. I would be game to attempt either.

They're really good. It's odd too because the visual doesn't match up with what you taste.

if you wanna get back in the groove, lets do a New England IPA

This was the other beer I was referring to in my last post

I'd still be very interested in that one too, but possibly hard to do by mail ...

Are we doing Golden Stout this month, then, Wheebz?

Good luck with the beer gun…not as easy while under pressure…especially a higher carbonated beer.

Haha ... I got this!

I'd like to bottle the remaining Mulberara and Bhut Subduction to be able to have empty freezers for bleaching etc ... so I might do a trial run using XXX Mild ...

A belgian blonde ale with cacao nibs could be really interesting...

sacrilege, but interesting..

A pic of the final oatmeal stout.. Still needs another week before the flavours meld completely, but couldn't resist temptation any longer..

He could try one of these to compensate.. Not sure how well they would travel though. Handy for heading off to a bbq or event, just fill a 2 litre, add some extra carbonation and away you go.

Have four of those, one plastic (sucks), one metal (as pictured), and two additional metal one's with barbs on the out for running a tube down to the bottom ... but, it's BeerGun time!
