Guinness Clone
Guinness Extra Stout Clone - by Tess & Mark Szamatulski, from the book "Clone Brews"
Specialty Grains:
12 oz Roasted Barley
4 oz 55 degree Lovibond British Crystal Malt
4 oz Flaked Barley
3 oz Acid Malt (Optional, will impart that slightly sour "Guinness" taste)
Crush specialty grains & steep in 150 degree F (65.5 degrees C) water for 20 minutes. Sparge grains with 1/2 gallon of water at 150 degrees, and bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add:
Other Fermentables:
4 lb Mountmellick Light Malt Syrup
1.75 lb M&F Light DME
Stir well & then bring the wort back to a full boil, then add 1 oz Target hops (8.5% AA). Boil for 15 minutes, then add 1/2 oz East Kent Goldings hops (5% AA).
After another 30 minutes, add 1 tsp Irish Moss. Boil for 15 more minutes; then remove from heat.
Cool the wort down to 80 degrees (I prefer an immersion chiller, in which case, put it in the boiling wort 10 minutes before the end of the boil to sanitize.), then add the yeast:
Yeast Choice #1: Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale Yeast
Alternate: Wyeast 1098 British Ale Yeast
Primary fermentation should take about five days, but siphon into the secondary when fermentation slows.
The suggested priming agent for bottling is 1 & 1/4 cups M&F Light DME.
Original Gravity should be about 1.042 - 1.045, and Final Gravity should be about 1.009 - 1.011. SRM should fall about 54, and the final result should be about 4.2% ABV, with an IBU rate of 40.
----------------------
If someone makes this, please let me know how it turns out! I have had the recipe for quite some time but have not had the chance to make it. Maybe this year for St. Patties Day!
I'll add this to my list of beers to try...we'll see if I get to it. 
Aspen,
I have made this before and it has been a big hit. I do make a few exchanges however. Instead of the 4 lb Mountmellick Light Malt Syrup and 1.75 lb M&F Light DME...I use 2 cans of light syrup. and I also use S04 Yeast. This is a very smooth brew with a great carmel after taste. My friends also thought it was a higher ABV. I have one now in my secondary...:-) I am getting excited to keg it....I keg instead of bottle....one container to clean and less chance of contamination! it is also nice because I bought a kegerator and put a 3 tapper on it! It has been the best investment I have ever purchased...I am working now on getting some growlers so I can take my brew on the road. I live in Okinawa and good brew is hard to come by...
Anyway, try this recipe...you won't be dissappointed! Kompai! (Japanese for Cheers)! :-D
