Stout and Finings

Ale_Lover

Not brewed a stout before, but will be next week. Do you still need to put finings into the brew bin as normal?

You can use finings to help it clear before bottling or barrelling if preferred, it is often not done though as many kit instructions don't recommend using finings, but it will help it clear and reduce sediment. If using finings then use them in the same way as you would with other beers

I thought that may be the case but thought there was no harm is asking the question. Thank you very much for your reply

No problem, let us know how the stout turns out

Ale_Lover

It turned out wonderful, very nice taste.

HBO_Staff

That's great news, we're pleased the stout came out so well, hopefully nice and clear too
