Kegged my first original stout yesterday, it’s meant to be a vegan sweet stout and it hit a final gravity of 1.024 which I think qualifies it as a sweet stout, though certainly not cloyingly so.

Pre-conditioning it tastes quite nice but I wish I had nitrogen to enhance the beer, will stick with CO2 though and am sure that I’m going to enjoy drinking this beer.

If it does drink as well as I suspect it will then I’ll be delighted to have nailed it on first go. I applied a lot of my learning to the recipe and brew day design so it will be testament to me moving in the right direction. Also, I have soooo many recipe ideas based on a stout so fun times lie ahead!
