I took a recipe I found for a Guinness draught clone and modified it just a little (basically just the DME). Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions. I'm not going for the extra stout taste and I am new to this so I may be off.
5 lb Munton's Dry Dark extract
1 lb Flaked Barley
1/2 lb Roasted Barley
1/4 lb Black Patent
1 oz Northern Brewer hops (60 mins)
1 tsp gypsum
WLP004 Irish Stout yeast
Now, I haven't done any grain stuff yet. I could steep some stuff but past that I am out of my knowledge area. How does this look and what exactly should I do with the flaked barley? It mentions sparging and I've read a little but I still don't understand how to do it in a regular extract brew.
Here is the original recipe:
