Drumming,
The problem that I see right off the bat is you have flaked barley in that recipe with no 2nd row, or 6th row, to convert the starches to sugar. Your so close to AG in the recipe as it stands its kind of funny. You might add Dextrine to the recipe instead of the flaked barley that will give you the head your looking for but that stuff is expensive.
I guess to help fix this where I think it will be a little more correct. I just need to ask a few questions:
1. Are you wanting to make Guiness Draught (curvey bottle), or Guiness Extra Stout?
2. What is the limiting factor keeping you from going to all grain? Is it the size of your boil kettle?? What size do you have?
3. Are you in the kitchen with this on the stove?
4. How much time are you wanting to spend on this brew, during brew day?
That should get us off and running.
