Notes:
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=51, Mg=10, Na=16, Cl=71, S04=71
(Keeping the Cl:S04 ratio even for a balance between malt and bitterness, hitting the minimums on Ca and Mg).

Grind the roasted barley fine (I use a setting of 10) and add it after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over, stop the mash pump, add the roasted barley, and give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain bed. You need to stir well as otherwise the fine layer of powdery roasted barley on top may stop the flow. Start the mash pump again and continue with your mashout. The wort will be cloudy again but it will clear as the grain bed rises to mashout temperature over 20-30 minutes.

Try and use the recommended White Labs WLP-004 or Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeasts. While something like Fermentis Safale US-05 (American Ale / Chico) yeast can be substituted and works well, it's just not the same as it's a bit too clean fermenting and lacks some of the complexity.

Serve this beer with fairly low carbonation (the lower the better in my humble opinion, or even better, as a cask ale). If you have the means to serve it through a beer engine with no extra carbonation at all other than residuals left over from fermentation, do it! I think you'll really enjoy the difference. I serve mine on a stout faucet pushed by 30/70 C02/Nitrogen blend to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer, exactly how Guinness is served on tap. One cheap and inexpensive way to (sort of) mimic this is to use a syringe. Pour the beer as you would normally and then suck up a syringe full and force it back into the beer, hard. Repeat 2-3 times and you'll knock most of the C02 out of solution leaving a nearly flat beer with a creamy head. Over carbonation destroys a lot of the subtleties of this beer. Don't over carbonate!

add 88% lactic acid to the beer after fermentation is done, before kegging. This is said to be what Guinness does today because it's cheaper, easier, and more efficient than relying on bacteria. All is takes is around 3-4 ml per 5 gallon keg. Go sparingly adding 0.5 ml at a time until the taste is to your liking. You can also use this method to do a trial run to see if you like the results: Once the beer is kegged and on tap, add 1-2 drops with an eye dropper to a 16 oz glass of beer and see what you think. 1 drop per 16 oz is equivalent to 2 ml in 5 gallons. Careful not to overdo it!

Notes: The passion fruit that I use is a concentrate. If you use 100% juice I'd go with the typical 1 quart can for 5 gallons but the strength of the passion fruit juices, concentrates and purees are different out there so you may have to play with the amount that you add in future recipes to taste. Less is better, if you add too much you end up with a sour taste but if you get it just right it's awesome! GL.

Notes: Splitting batch and pitching 05 on 1 and Nottingham on the other. Both rehydrated.
Over shot my water on this batch so I ended up boiling for 2 hours.
City water with 2 tsp. Gypsum, .5 tsp Calc Cloride and .5 tsp. Epsom added to all water up front.
I'll update the attenuation when it finishes, but it should be high.
I'll also be dry hopping this, but want to see how much aroma I get with the last 2 aroma additions that were added when the wort was chilled to 150° and then whirlpooled for 30 min.

Notes: I used two packets of the Wyeast for this brew to get the ABV I wanted. After 4 days in primary the beer was at 7% and climbing so it worked out, finished just below 9%. Delicious imperial porter, about as roasty as I can handle. Great Fall/Winter beer. Enjoy!

Notes: Step mashed to give alpha and beta amylase their own comfort ranges. May reduce final maltiness of beer. First real experiment in water chemistry. May experience higher efficiencies. Know your source water chemistry before adding any brewing salts. Very soft water in this local.Add honey at flame-out.

WARNING: Brewing this beer has been known to start fights with spouse when she asks "what ya makin'or "what you drinkin' "!

Note: The use of Fuggles hops would be more close to style for this type of beer. I used cascade, but not next time. If you have a choice use the hop that reflects the style.Goldings and Bullion hops also fill the bill.
