guiness style

[captflyer]

Does anyone have a tried and true guiness style recipe? I have the book "Clone Brews", and it has a recipe there, but if someone has a good recipe thier willing to share, I'd love to get a couple ideas.

+1 to that Biermuncher recipe. Good stuff. Best stout I've ever made.

Simple: 70% pale ale malt, 20% flaked barley, 10% roasted barley. One bittering hops addition, IBU ~50. Ferment with a very attenuative yeast, in the 80% range. Shoot for an ABV no more than 4%.

True Guinness is said to be blended with a portion of soured stale beer. Try that at your own risk.

Cheers! (Or should I say slainte?)

I think you could safely approximate the sour wort by souring some portion of the wort pre-boil. Or, just use some sauermalz?

This is probably the method I'd use, but only sour a few liters:

Just note that you probably are not going to get the actually Guiness flavor you want without serving it off a Nitrogen tap. The nitrogen (or maybe lack of CO2) plays a bigger role in that dry stout taste than most recognize.

You could always try the turkey baster trick instead of using a stout faucet

Uh what? My dirty mind is picturing something. . . well, shouldn't say.
