Extra Special Roast is steeped in wort after running off and until wort reaches 170F(Extra Special Roast was not an option in dropdown menu so Special Roast shows up above). Brown Sugar is added as necessary to adjust gravity. |

Notes: Hit OG of 1007; FG was 1002. Colour was very dark (perhaps too dark).
Left it in the fermenter for a week - was somewhat worried I might get an infection given the ABV is so low, but doesn't seem to have happened.
If you re-brew, I recommend reducing the IBU. It is too bitter for the low ABV. |

Notes: The Lion's Gate Bridge connects downtown Vancouver to Greater Vancouver's north shore in British Columbia, Canada. The bridge (along with some then-undeveloped north shore property) was financed by the Guinness family in the 1930s and sold back to the province in 1955. (Additional trivia: the West Vancouver shopping mall Park Royal is a nod to the former Guinness brewery in London of the same name).
This recipe is an attempt to emulate the modern (c. 1950s+) Guinness draft recipe using a pale malt base with some dark roast malts for colour and a bit of roast flavour. (The importance of roasted unmalted grain is overblown IMHO). Base malt could be all rice or millet (the latter might give a bit more perceived sweetness) or a combination of the two. Buckwheat (roasted or not) can provide foaming benefits. |

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! |
