Crafting Guinness at Home - A Homebrew Documentary

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Over the last couple of years I’ve brewed many different styles of stout as an amateur home brewer, but I’ve never brewed a Guinness Clone, until now! In this homebrew documentary I’m crafting a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout clone. This Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a classic beer for the Guinness lineup, it defines the style. At 7.5% it boasts a full-bodied roasty character and a dry finish.
As with all my recipes, I get all my ingredients from the Homebrew Company here in Ireland at www.thehomebrewcompany.ie - check out their custom all-grain kits!
The recipe is for a 33L batch on the Grainfather G40
shop.grainfather.com/us/g40-brewing-system.html
9.4 Irish Pale Ale Malt
1.4 Flaked Barley
770g Roasted Barley
Hops: 140g of Challenger Hop Pellets (60mins)
Yeast: HWC Saturated Yeast (4 L Starter) - A top cropping liquid yeast that is HWC’s most popular of all of their strains. Visit whclab.com for more details.

    Stumbled across your video as I was having a Guinness and surfing the web. And I do love Guinness in particular. This was such a fun video to watch and it was fantastic your daughter was helping out. She’ll remember this for the rest of her life!! Well done with the edit and production too!! 👍🍻

    Thanks so much for the comments! Daisy loves helping me out on brewday, she's only 5 but she already knows a lot about brewing. She told a random stranger at the supermarket that she brews her own beer.......I laughed all the way home lol

    Great video! A trick that I learned for brewing Guinness at home is to pour two commercial Guinness beers into a bowl, cover it with foil and set it on your fridge for a couple of weeks to sour. Add this to a 5 gallon batch during the brew. I read that Guinness adds 3 percent of previous batch beer to their brew. Don't know if that's true but I did win a Silver certificate in the 2006 NHB competition using this method with a recipe very similar to yours. Cheers!

    This is the legit way to do it at home. But if you are lazy like me, you can also just add about a handful or two of acidulated malt and it gets you that soured Guinness taste with less effort!

    Trying to keep this short. Fantastic to find EU channels as apposed to the all American representation + you have stepped up superbly. The following months will be my homework months. I hope to learn a lot from you. I am inclined to go all in soon with a grainfather setup, complete. Question: what should I focus on as a start? A lager, pilsner or ale. What would be the best chance for a first time drinkable batch? What is the difference between ale, lagers etc. Hope to see videos soon answering these basics, or I'll have to go elsewhere....😅. I do prefer you as my one stop channel though..
