Notes: Was supposed to be a hoppy and very fruity American IPA - next time it will be if I double the hop bill - it ended up nice and fruity with quite low bitterness and very good maltiness. So a lot like Samuel Adams Boston Ale.

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: A very traditional English best bitter, derived from the following real ale recipes in Graham Wheeler's book Brew Your Own British Real Ale:

Adnams
Adnams explorer
Bass draught
Brakspear
Brakspear special
Deuchars IPA
Courage best
Courage Directors
Flowers IPA
Flowers Original
Fullers ESB
Hop back summer lightning
Marstons Pedigree
Moorhouses Pendle Witches
Morland Old Speckled Hen
Ruddles Best
Theakston Old Peculiar
Taylor Landlord
Wadworth 6X
Youngs Special

Hop level and crystal malt level are averages of the values in the the above recipes.

2% torrified wheat added for head retention only.

Wyeast 1968 (Fuller's ESB strain) chosen for its estery profile and malty finish. Fermentation temp 20 deg C for moderate ester production.

Brewed with London tap water. Half the volume boiled to reduce bicarbonate hardness. 2 grams gypsum added to raise sulphate level slightly.

This recipe is designed for brew-in-a-bag using a 19 litre stockpot. Efficiency worked out at 75% according to Brewersfriend and 80% according to Beer Engine. IBU level 33 according to Beer Engine, but true value likely to be slightly under this as brew-in-a-bag has lower utilization.

Notes: We have used new Crisp grains for this one. Also lot of stirring of the mash and mashed inside the pot. We also added 10ml of CRS which is a big difference from previous.

The temp of the water (i.e. inside the pot) after all mixing and ph testing, just before we left it for one hour was 69ish and the grains 65ish. Assuming the temp stayed in this range as it was insulated well.

Temp calibrated gravity reading was 1.048 which worked out to be around 70%.

Notes: Attempt to reproduce hop bill of Hardcore IPA, shop didn't have Simcoe so substituted Chinook. Also talked into using an Australian Pale Ale malt by chap in the shop.
