Home Making a Great Guinness Look-a-Like

by admin on April 18, 2010

Basic ingredients for the guinness look alike

11 lbs Pale Malt
1 lb British Crystal Malt
8 oz Black Patent Malt
8 oz Roast Barley
1 oz Clusters Hops
0.5 oz Willamette
0.5 oz EKG
Yeast

When beer making at home, there is no way you can get the Guinness head except by using N2.  Having said that…you can achieve a really good head by storing the beer under serving pressure and serving temperature for at least two full weeks.  A month would be better.

To sour the beer you can go one of two ways…adding lactic acid to taste, or souring Guinness style.

The second method is to take two bottles of Guinness, pour it into a bowl and leave it out for a week or more.  Step 2…freeze it.  Step 3…when your mash is on, thaw the stout and heat to about 190F for 20 minutes.  Step 4…throw it into mash at end boil. 
Simple!

A great drop o stuff.
