I brewed this recipe yesterday:

Here are some pictures from the process.....

Grains, hops and yeast.

Souring 24oz of Guinness (4 days).

Mixed grains.

Draining this one was a SLOW process. But the aroma was very nice.

Chilling the wort.

Checking the OG... Missed it by .004. Not too bad.

Wow, pretty cool! Let us know how it turns out. I noticed that your grain is all separated. My LHBS just dumps everything in a big plastic bag.

That was mail order stuff from Midwest Supplies. My LHBS also dumps everything in a bag...

It works pretty good. On this batch, it was reading too low while I was mashing. I wanted to freak out, but I knew it probably had something to do with the probe not being in the mash correctly. When I opened the lid, that's exactly what I saw. Good news: Mash wasn't as low as what the thermometer was reading. Bad news: I have no idea what it actually was.

It took a while for the Nottingham yeast to fire up (real long lag time on this one), but it's really kicking ass right now...
