I want to make this kit for my SWMBO in a big way. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_43_251&products_id= 1114

My SWMBO is a big fan of Guinness. Is this recipe worth it or should I look for something else.

FYI - I am strictly extract vs AG at the moment due to education and equipment.

I am local to AHS and have used them for all of my kits...I have no complaints about any of the recipes that I have tried and they are great guys to call if you run into a problem or have a question.

Some of the other guys might be able to tell you if this recipe would be better all grain vs. extract-I am only up to mini-mash kits myself.

Cheers!

Bear in mind that this is a version of Guinness Extra Stout, which (at least in Canada) is contract-brewed, and not the same Guinness your SWMBO usually has. That said, I'm sure it's great. AHS has a good rep, and their kits are, I understand, pretty accurate. For this beer I'd recommend you go for the liquid yeast, too. I've used the Irish Ale yeast in a stout, and it adds a lot.

Have her branch out and make different type of Stout. Go for the RIS888!

Thanks guys. The price of the kit falls within the budget so I'll give it a shot.

We have been trying lots of different Stouts lately. An RIS is in the near future.
