Notes: Start fermentation at 63. Check in 3 - 5 days. If the krausen has dropped and you feel like your past the peak fermentation, raise it up to 70 for a couple more days to get it done. Rack to secondary, have chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon in the secondary and rack ontop of it to ensure to "Stir it in". Keep it here for 2 - 3 weeks.
Add to barrel wait for ever - ENJOY.

Notes: Clone for Landlord, however I could not get the golden promise malt
Used also for whisky malt.
The brew was not malty/biscuity enough, so I plan some addition of amber malt, to compensate.
I will also increase marginally the hopping - bobek.
Landlord is a beer best served draught, so I will not prime bottles next time.
This beer was good but not great. Will try again. |

Notes: 4 packs Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale liquid yeast (or an appropriate starter*)
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: 1) - 2 packets Danstar London Ale Yeast.
2) - At the end of the 60 minute boil, remove the pot from the heat then remove and discard the hop bags. Allow the wort to cool to about 78ºF. (Note: Use a wort chiller to hasten this very important step. Also, be sure that anything that will come into contact with the chilled wort is properly sanitized.)
3) - The proper temperature at which to pitch (add to the wort) the yeast is in the 65ºF-75ºF range.
4) Allow the beer to ferment for one week in the primary fermenter, then rack (transfer) the beer into a secondary fermenter for an additional week to clear. At the end of the second week, record the specific gravity reading. A steady specific gravity reading of different samples over two or more days indicates that fermentation is complete.
5) When fermentation is complete add 3/4 cup of corn sugar or 11/4 cups of dry malt that has been boiled in 2 cups of water. Gently rack the finished beer into the bottling bucket with the priming sugar solution. fill the bottles to 1/2″ – 1″ from the top. Cap the bottles and allow them to condition at room temperature for two weeks.
