Ok, I'm new to homebrewing.... Guinness is by far my favorite beer and I want to try to clone it as much as I can (without using nitrogen, not ready for that yet). But, looking around, I'm getting differing recipes everywhere. There are two that I'm looking at, a kit from Northern Brewers and one at Midwest Supplies. Ive listed the specifics below, which one do you think is going to mimic Guinness the most (I know it won't be perfect, just looking for the closest)? Or, if you have other ideas, theyd be appreciated!
Thanks!
