Best Recipes / Guinness Extra Stout Recipe - ...

Last post by biertourist - February 02, 2024, 08:03:00 PM

Can anyone share a good grist for a Guinness Extra Stout clone?

I know Dempsey and Nigel advocate for 70/20/10 Pale/Flaked/Roast and 3% acidulated if you want the sour note, for standard Guinness but I'm assuming that you don't just equally scale the ingredients with the move to Extra Stout gravity (I'd guess that the Pale % increases with extra, but it's only a guess)...

Do you go with even MORE acid malt for the move to Extra Stout?  I vaguely recall ancient discussions that Extra Stout's pH was even lower vs. Standard Guinness and I'm not clear if this just comes from a lager quantity of Roast barley, or if it's coming from the elusive possible acidification?
