I kegged it !!! Wow.

Hello,

First time brewing DOS from Festa Brew.  I kegged it, and by the way I like stout but not a big fan, but this stout is very good.  I usually only have one stout and then something else, but with this one I can have a few.

I keep my kegerator around 2degC.

Great taste.

Great drop

Well, I finally bit the bullet and fermented a box of DOS wort. It's das bomb...Stygian dark with rich flavour and character - drinkable even four or five days in the bottle. I am aging it until at least the end of July when a buddy visits, but do sneak one here and there for chronological testing purposes. It blends well with a brown or pale ale to come up with a porter-like "swamp water" brew. And since Festa doesn't create a porter, you can blend a Brown Ale with the DOS to make one. I can see this being better than a Guinness and although I'm a recent casual convert to stout, I can see keeping a batch of this in my stockpile. I may go the next step and mini-keg a batch and carb it with a nitrogen/CO2 blend...

Best from Festa thus far

I've done this one several times and can't get enough. Fermented between 62-68, primary for 3 weeks and then straight to bottles for another 3 weeks. This has the deepest smoothest creamiest feel of any kit stout I've ever had. The flavors beat must commercial oatmeal stouts I've had, I make a batch of this stuff every other brew so I always have it on hand. Grab this kit you won't be dissapointed!!
