Ps was in a rush last night and forgot to take starting reading

Re: STOUTER STOUT ???
I think it'll make a bloody interesting experiment! 
Presumably, ye've tasted Coopers 'as it should be'? That giving ye the bench mark to compare by.
I use Medium DSM in mine, but I've got an uneven split between medium and dark lined up now ~ because I cleared my poor supplier right out of medium!
I'll be interested to see how the Dark compares though. And I too mat try dropping the water level on a brew or two. It might be nice to have a keg of 'Extra Special' stuff knocking about.
Let us know how it turns out

Now ye've got me thinking, Kev! I'm sure Shane could source me a few of those little, 2 1/2 Gallon kegs!Imagine that? A Whole kit and Kg of DSM in Half the water volume! My god! What could I create there?!? " Ditch's Dynamite " ! Keep That shit in the gun safe!
But, seriously; If this 15 Gallon brew idea comes off ok, I could be doing all sorts of mad things with my 5G FV's and a little collection of mini kegs.
I love my Coopers Stout because I'm in love with the flavours it gives me. But that's not to say I'm totally 'Missionary Man'. I can go with testing out variations on the theme ~ just like StuBru's up to. In fact, I used to love Old Pec', Ruddles County and Tanglefoot. Then I tried mixing two of those three (can't remember which, sadly!) and found myself drinking an even Better pint!
Coopers Stout, as is, is simply my own bench mark of The Best damn pint I've ever tasted. But that's not to say a stronger, hoppier, lighter, darker, what ever, pint won't be fun too. Who knows?
Just let me get rolling ..... But the thought of little Mini Kegs, to try mad experiments in, as an aside? That appeals to me. Not as if I'm short on the basics, is it?
