Probably right around 6 g per liter max or so of black.

I've blindly tasted purchased dark invert, the one I made and then the dilution method and all were very very close when seeing the results. Its definitely in the ability of the maker to make them 'right'. That being said, each place you get invert from is a little different also. What we are looking for is to have an option for people to get very very close to having the purchased thing. <br /><br />Rev,<br /><br />I very much like the Brakespear for stouts just make sure not to use too much yeast as this one finishes pretty high.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-58035704072683996832011-12-07T23:10:21.633-08:002011-12-07T23:10:21.633-08:00I am sooooo making this next.

It might be summer over here in NZ but this looks bang on what I want to drink for the new year. <br />I have the Thames Valley/Brakespear yeast on the go and think this will go well with this recipe. <br />Stout ahoy!Revolution Brewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11120416640227445046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-68067059465760552312011-12-07T17:06:12.579-08:002011-12-07T17:06:12.579-08:00I've been making brewers invert for a while no...I've been making brewers invert for a while now, almost two-dozen batches of the stuff, but I've never really been happy with the flavor of of the sugar from molasses/dilution method. For my tastes, it always seems like the finished invert has more of a molasses flavor than the invert you find in the UK. I've tried using a few different brands of molasses, including Golden Barrel, but it still doesn't taste right. <br /><br />Do we know what types of sugars they were using to make their invert back in the day? Surely not molasses...??Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-51446243395748048232011-12-07T09:15:53.496-08:002011-12-07T09:15:53.496-08:00Sure.

The lot changes also. For homebrewers it really doesn't matter a ton. I also am only looking to make the best product and don't care about organic or not. <br /><br />Here are the ones I like:<br /><br />Plantation Blackstrap Molasses (US)<br />Golden Barrel Blackstrap (US)<br />'Feed grade blackstrap' (US)<br />Meridian organic blackstrap (UK)<br /><br />Specific to the feed grade, it is MUCH cheaper than the others in a much higher volume. The lots vary much greater in this one b/c its specifically feed grade however, if you get 2 gal of it for $10, it will last you pretty much forever. It will also last, pretty much forever. <br /><br />For any of them, you have to play around a bit as the color is a bit different.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-77812862457721151912011-12-07T08:46:40.936-08:002011-12-07T08:46:40.936-08:00Kris,

I'd be willing to order something online. What are your favorite 3 brands for this method. Hey, maybe they'll sponsor you. Maybe not.RudeBoyBrewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742094571957647083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-29393014658662534812011-12-07T08:34:14.894-08:002011-12-07T08:34:14.894-08:00I find that this beer really is at its best around...I find that this beer really is at its best around room temperature. It looses a lot of its character when its cold and the sweetness is really the only thing you can get out of it.
