Notes: "Greg's Classic Stout"
Surprisingly, a classic stout! If you like dark beer but shy away from the tanginess of Guiness, this brew is sure to peak your interest.
Don't use jet black roasted barley. Look for a deep dark brown colour roasted barley. Black or chocolate malt is no substitute when making a "classic" stout. Steep at 65-71C for 30 minutes then remove with a strainer.
Add gypsum for 60min boil (or don't add it).
Use English hops (such as Northern Brewer, Goldings, Fuggles)
Use Irish Ale type yeast (or English ale if you must). Aerate wort very well.
Enjoy within 3-4 weeks from brew day.
Consider swapping out some dark malt extract for additional head retention malt. |

| Notes: My first beer I designed all on my own over three years ago. Turned out not too bad. Kept a real nice head (didn't realize not to add so much wheat) with good body and a clean finish. Light hop aroma and not overly bitter. A repeatedly drinkable beer. Good for lawnmowing and thirstquenching. |

Notes: Bring 1 gallon filtered or bottled water to boil
Add 1 lb DME and stir until dissolved and foam is gone
Add hops
Boil 20 minutes total, adding LME in last 2 minutes - turn up heat while adding LME to maintain boiling temperature and stir well to avoid scorching.
Turn off heat after 20 minute boil and cool with 1.625 gallons (6.5 quarts) of chilled filtered or bottled water (in LBK).
Continue cooling in fridge until wort temp is 65-67 degrees.
Pitch 1 Packet S-04 yeast.
Ferment 1 week maintaining ambient temperature of 65 degrees.
Check gravity on day 6 and day 7 to ensure FG is reached.
If fermentation is done and yeast is clearing at 1 week, either place in fridge to cold crash overnight or leave 2-3 more days to compact yeast.
Carefully transfer to bottling bucket and prime with preferred method.
Maintain 72+ degree temperature for bottles during carb and within one week they should be fully carbed.
