Any feedback on this yet? Would really like to try it..

Hi there,. I think it turned out well. I had some very good feed back from people I shared it with. They all asked for more!
Had a very strong roast character, but was still a very drinkable beer. It poured and held a good head to.

PapaBearSte • 07/28/2018 at 10:49am
Sounds very nice!
How would you say it compared to the Guinness WIP?

PapaBearSte • 07/28/2018 at 10:58am
Apologies, I just assumed that this was a Guinness WIP clone.. I now feel stupid.

ptrain • 07/28/2018 at 11:45am
No your exactly right that's what I was trying to do. I'm from Ireland but live in New Zealand now, I tried it on a visit to Ireland 2 years ago and thought it was great.

It was a bit roastier than the WIP. Also a bit heavier probably mashed a bit warm? Also not sure how fermentable my extract was. I also used alot of new style hops I had lying around in it. I might change that to something like fuggles or Golding's? I'd also ditch the extract if possible for all grain. Maybe cold steep the dark grains to get a more rounded less harsh flavor?

Keen to hear any thoughts you have yourself?

PapaBearSte • 07/28/2018 at 02:54pm
There's few different things I'd like to talk about in terms of the recipe.. are you on Instagram or anything, where we can have a 1 to 1 conversation? Then after the brew, I can post my results here.

Hutchy • 07/30/2018 at 03:44pm
Iâ€™m interested in this too, WIP is one of my favourites. What was the reason for using the extract rather than all grain? Do you think youâ€™d replace all the hops with fuggles/goldings or just some of them?

ptrain • 07/30/2018 at 07:11pm
The extract was because I only had a 12l stock pot to brew with. So making anything with more than 3 kg of grain was hard. I used extract in place of base malt to up the gravity.

Yeah I'd replace all the jobs hops. It's a historical recipe so they would have used olde English style hops on it I would guess. But at the end of the day my guess is as good as yours really.

Hutchy • 07/31/2018 at 10:42am
Thanks for the reply. Iâ€™ve seen a recipe for Guinness extra stout in a CAMRA book and they use target hops for that. Havenâ€™t done any all grain brews myself yet but think Iâ€™m gonna try that first and go from there
