Homebrewing Stouts: Dry Irish Stout & Single Stout Porter

We are getting ready for St. Patrick's Day with stout on the brain! For the occasion, Jake and Mike brew two beers. One is a Dry Irish Stout on par with the modern Guinness Draught, which we serve on nitrogen through a stout faucet. The other beer is a Single Stout Porter, based on a beer Guinness produced back in the 1880s. We put the beers up against each other in a taste test... and find out the secret to Chip's Chocolate Stout along the way.

    Almost 10 years on, and here I am re-watching to review for an Irish Stout brew day. But in doing so, I have decided to take a shot at Chip's Odd Chocolate Stout. Just need some Cali Common Yeast.... I miss Brewing TV.....

    13:00 minutes in, they are totally right. Sometimes light colored beers are insanely hoppy and bitter, and the black beers are sweet as pie. So color doesnt say too much about how strong a beer is. Needless to say, I love them all.

    Mr. Dawson, I never tire of your flair for literary references, but when you compared choosing an 1880's Stout to a modern interpretation as "Sophie's Choice", now that just cracked me up. Keep up the good work, citizen.

    Love all the stuff you were saying about "Dark vs light" beers being a myth. People seem to think that dark beers are more hardcore, but if anything you could argue that they tend to be more approachable than a (relatively) bitter pale ale.

    Jakeen is just Caighdeán (Standard Irish) with a Dublin accent, so don't worry about that I'd say. The Ulster dialect does have a good few similarities with Scots Gaelic because Ulster was Gaelic's last stop before Scotland, y'know? It is, I just wish more of my compatriots would share that appreciation for it, and of course our diverse, long-running history in the production of alcoholic beverages :)

    So I brewed the NB Irish Stout about a month ago and now have it on nitro tap. It's my first. What CO2 volume are you guys carbing that keg to??? I think I've gone over carbed and had solid foam with a creamy head that would soon start to look like a pancake cooking on a griddle. Good cascade with tight creamy white head but with larger bubbles popping up, within minutes losing head entirely. I purged til flat, and now can't seem to get the carbing volume down.

    I love what I have been learning here. I have discovered I have a stunted perception of what beer and ale actually is, beyond hops and carbonation. Reading about the beer of old Egypt, I realized I would not have recognized it as beer. They were making and drinking what the English, much later, would call "small beer", which does not refer to the size of the glass.😂 The Egyptians had a legend about using beer to save the world world from an angry blood drinking goddess who had decided to kill all humans. They filled every container with beer that had been dyed red. When angry goddess appeared they all ran and hid. Thinking the vessels were full of blood, she began drinking all she could find. Soon she got so happy she no longer wanted to drink the blood of humanity. They had a big three day beer and hedonism festival every year, to celebrate the event. This would be before Islam came to Egypt. The good old days when beer brewing was a family affair. 😇

    As an Irish person and an Irish speaker (which I encourage in all Irish people for fear of becoming a homogenized west british tourist attraction), I can safely say it's pronounced as "shaw-idj goss-in". I wouldn't blame your conclusion though, Irish phonology is difficult, sometimes even I don't know when to pronounce "s" as "sh" and leave "dh" silent.

    I hadn't had guineas in a long time, but after drinking a lot of stouts lately I had a guineas on tap and was blown away at how light the flavor really was, much weaker than I remembered...I'm trying to dispel the dark beer myth one person at a time, because I love stouts and hate having people snarl at them.
