Hello I found this recipe and I was wondering what malt extract I could substitute for the 5.0 lbs English 2 Row Pale Malt? Otherwise does this seem like it would come out good?
5.0 lbs English 2 Row Pale Malt
2.5 lbs. Flaked Barley
1.0 lb. Roasted Barley
12 AAU Kent Goldings 60 min.
1084 Irish Ale
Mash at 151 degrees for 60 minutes
If you are an extract brewer you can substitute the 5 lbs of English 2 row for 4.3 lbs of liquid malt extract. You will still have to steep the flaked barley and roasted barley for 1 hour at about 155 degrees.
Once the beer has fermented, pour off a pint into a glass let it sit at room temp for a week. Make sure to put a wet cloth over the top to keep any bugs and nasties out. Then boil that pint for about 5 minutes cool and then add back to the beer. This will give the beer the slightly sour taste that Guinness has.
Of course if you want the famous Guinness head and creaminess you'll need a nitrogen tap system.
Thanks!!
