  • stout recipe for "black and tans"

    Hi guys,

    People love our Stout, but everywhere I get it on, some of their regular customers complain that they now can't get a "black and tan" like they could with the Stout from Ireland. So this last batch I nitrogenated our Stout using a process outlined in a New Brewer article by John Harris of Full Sail. Now, visually, it pours like a nitrogenated beer, but I still can't get the seperation of the layers between the Stout and the Pale Ale that I can using the other famous Stout. Our FG is 4.2 P, theirs is about 1.4 Plato. Is the trick to get a very low finishing gravity?

    Cheers,

    Yes. Our Irish Stout finishes at around 2.0 and floats quite nicely on our Pale which finishes at around 3.5. Our Stout is also nitrogenated.

      Remember "gravity" means just that- weight. Beers Fg corralates to its actual weight and heavy things sink to the bottom. Its not just the N2, Irish stout is light- litteraly.
