Guiness Style Homebrew?

I was wondering if anyone makes a brew that pours and settles like Guinness?

I think that's a large part of its appeal.

 

Great question! I love Guinness and all types of stout and it is the only thing I have brewed successfully. I tried my hand at certain home brewing kits, I didn't like most but I always made a good stout!

I'd be interested to hear of one similar to Guinness

The only way that I know of to get the creamy head and pour of a Guinness is to shell out for a nitrogen tank.  Unfortunately, these run about $300 from what I have seen, plus I think you need a special tap to fully harness the power of nitrogen.

That being said, I have at least two clone recipes for Guinness; one offers the "spoil a bit" version (I have heard that Guinness brewery infects a small percentage of their product with a "spoiler" bacteria, which imparts lactic acid, which gives Guinness that special "snap")

The other version I have claims to accomplish the same thing with a small addition of acid malt.  To date I have not tried either one, because I would have an uncontrollable urge to go buy a nitro kit.

If anyone wants a recipe let me know!

 

I want a recipe!  Could you post it in the recipes section?
