Irish Stout Ode To Arthur, Irish Stout (Guinness Clone)

[AlphaWolf-Brewery]

According to the OP he used Roasted Barley 300 SRM not 500 SRM. I used the 300 as well. Might have to try the 500 next time, will have to wait and see how it tastes.

And here's the proof...

You, sir, are a genius. I happened to have a baster just like that lying around and it works great.

 

[NotALamer]

I've made it both ways and I liked it better with the darker stuff.

 

[bryanjints]

I made 1 batch of this and it turned out great. It was not quite Guinness Draught but I liked it and gave it to several Guinness lovers and they all liked it. It was missing some of that roasted barley taste. I don't know if that was because it wasn't crushed enough or if I need to add more.


I plan to give this a 10 gallon batch very soon. Then 5 gallons are going to have coffee added in secondary. Anyone have any comments or thoughts on adding coffee to this.

 

[Cbaddad]

I absentmindedly added .4lbs of acid malt to my grain bill versus the .25lbs.

Already milled. I guess i will report back but in a 10 gallon batch that isn't going to be too much is it? I have never used the stuff before.

Thanks.

Made my label already, now i need to brew it before January.
And yes I know this is the Foreign Export style label I used, but it's just so much cooler looking.

 

[Jdaught]

Any thoughts on which grains to add to get the extra gravity to make this an extra stout instead of a draught?

This is from another thread: couple of different ideas in there

Gonna order recipe from Brewmasters Warehouse, should I go with Crisp Pale or Crisp Maris Otter on this one?

...should I go with Crisp Pale or Crisp Maris Otter on this one?

I prefer the M.O.

Rut-Roh. Ordered from brewmasters' warehouse and I screwed up the recipe:

Briess 2-Row Brewer's Malt 6 lb
---- Briess Flaked Barley 4.25 lb
---- Briess Roasted Barley 1.25 lb
Weyermann Acidulated 0.125 lb

How can I salvage this? Trying to get my St Paddy's day ducks in a row.





---- Kent Goldings, UK Pellets - Aroma/Flavor Hop 5.0% AA

3 oz

That sucker's gonna have some BODY!

You could double everything else (2-row, Roasted Barley, Acid) and blend it thoroughly, then divide it in half. They you can have a St. Patty's Day stout and a Memorial Day stout.

Also, consider that Briess Roasted Barley is light...about 350L. Briess Black Barley (500L) is better to get the color you want. I wish Briess would change its naming procedures...very misleading. I used the 350L and ended up with a brown ale instead of a black.

I might just go ahead and brew it as-is.

 

[diablodawg]

I'm thinking about ordering some more 2 row and black barley now. What do y'all think about 2 recipes of:

6 lb 2 row
2.125 lb flaked barley
.625 lb roasted barley
.75 lb black barley
.125 lb acidulated malt

 

[NotALamer]

I think this recipe is supposed to use ~300srm roasted barley, but I've made it with 500srm as well and I liked it better darker.

 

[sjjn]

Mashed in last night, can't wait. It'll be my first kegged beer.

Any chance I can brew this baby and have it ready for St Patty's day? 1 month?

 

[mcbethenstein]

You can do it, but it won't be at its peak. Just make sure to make a good sized starter and use yeast nutrient and give it a blast of O2 or really good aeration. If you are trying to rush it, you want your yeast in the best of health.

 

[RobMT]

Brewed this up on Friday, but forgot to cut the hops in half along with the rest of the ingredients for a 5 gallon batch. Oops! Beersmith is saying it's going to be 60 IBU's. Guess that means I just need to brew it again.

 

[NotALamer]

Black IPA? Guinness is pretty dry, so that should be pretty bitter. Let us know how it comes out.

Will do. I'm quite interested to see how the bitterness will taste.

Same here...just tapped the keg and I've got a roasty brown ale because my LHBS gave me Briess Roasted Barley instead of Black Barley. Fortunately, it tastes great.

Moral of the story--watch them when they fill your order instead of hitting the sampling bar (my LHBS has 6 on tap at all times) and shooting the breeze with the other brewers.

 

[sjjn]

First pour from my first kegged beer. Ode to Arthur...carbonation test.

And what my fridge looks like now. Need to make room for one more keg.

 

[greyghost]

I'm going to brew this. Some where I saw some thing about souring 2 cans of Guinness and adding to the recipe but I don't know when to add it.

Toss it into the boil with about 15 minutes left. It'll kill what is causing the souring activity, but retain the flavor.

 

[spenghali]

Has everyone been brewing the original recipe or the 70-25-5 recipe?

 

[SookeBrewing]

I brewed this up for St. Paddy's Day - minus the acid malt. I also only used 2oz of Goldings as mine were higher in AA%.

This is without a doubt one of the top three beers I've ever brewed. It is going to become a regular for sure (the first of the beers I've brewed so far to get that distinction).

Everyone at our St. Paddy's party loved it, even the non beer-drinkers or the "I don't usually like dark beers" types.

I'm going to cry when this keg kicks!

But it's a happy cry...

Brought a growler to a friend's place. Didn't last long...great recipe.
Thanks.

 

[RobMT]

Here's my (accidentaly) double hopped version. Scaled everything back for 5 gallons except the hops, woops!

Turned out GREAT though. I'm a fan of bitter beers and this hits the spot. Many of my friends find it undrinkable due to bitterness, but the few that are big into IPA's and bitterness absolutely love it.

 

[OHIOSTEVE]

brewed this twice...bottld the first batch and it is by far my favorite beer I have made....kegged the last batch and it is good but I evidently left something out because it tastes more like a nut brown...not even black just a dark brown....ugh

 

[OHIOSTEVE]

figured out what was different...first batch used the darker roasted unmalted barley.. last batch much lighter roasted barley...like the first MUCH better.
