Not a Guinness recipe addition, but Brown malt can be great in a stout.

on the 70 20 10, I did 70% pale, 20% flaked, 7% roast, 3% acidulated. Was happy with the result. At the time, I used Maryanka hops (Polish) to bitter.

Thanks! Hope you're well.


I ended up brewing a variation of my Stanard Plain stout on Saturday, instead.
69% Golden Promise
18% Flaked Barley
10.7% Roast Grains total split between:4/6ths Roast Barley, 1/6th Pale Chocolate, 1/6th Black Patent
2.5% Crystal 40

A little bit of CaCl and Gypsym in the mash and 88% lactic to get the mash to 5.4 pH at the beginning then 5.3 at the end.  I saved all the roast grains for the last 10 minutes of the mash, per the method that Martin Brungard recommended. 

1.047 OG this time. Tasted like it had a bit too much hop bitterness in the wort; I just moved to using a Grainfather G40 (2nd brew with it) and I forgot that I get higher utilization on this system vs. my old system that I used a Hop Spider on.


I actually just picked up a 4 pack of the O'hara's Irish Stout in nitro cans for my homebrew club to try at our meeting next Tuesday, so that they can try an Irish Craft example. It was $24 for 4 cans; I was NOT prepared for that, but the club's paying for it, at least.



-First time I've tried that. I brew it a bit bigger than it probably should be at 1.047.

I'm going to wait to see what the pH naturally finishes at and I play to acidify the finished beer to at least 4.0, or maybe take it down to a Guinness-like 3.9pH.  I'm afraid the black patent / chocolate malt might get too harsh / astringent all the way down at 3.9...
