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.

Neo at Homebrew Co-op suggested that I don't use all dark malt extract. He said it will be harder to ferment as compared to light malt extract. So for the first time I used light malt extract for most, plus some dark and some dark specialty grains.

I also added Motueka hops for bittering so I could use some of the EKG for flavour.
