Irish Stout (ie Guiness Draught) Extract recipe anyone ?

[Duster]

Ive made a couple batches of extract thanks to my local home brew businesses and Northern Brew - Now I want to try to replicate a Guiness Draught extract recipe ..... Any suggestions / links ? THanks in advance.....

Not an easy brew to replicate. Even if you get close you would need to keg it and carbonate with nitrogen to be in the ball park. You might want to advance to all grain and play around a bit before you try to clone this particular beer.

Its going to be a bit tricky to get an extract version because most of them have flaked barley which needs to be mashed.

Beersmith when I convert my simple all grain dry stout recipe it replaces the flaked barley with carafoam instead of 2 lbs of flaked barley.

Great thanks. I know an extract recipe is not the best solution but I wanted to try one, then as I progress to the all grain/nitrogen recipe, I can compare.
