Best Recipes / Re: Guinness Extra Stout Recip...

Last post by biertourist - February 02, 2024, 08:57:09 PM

If I have the beer statistics right:
5.6% ABV
47 IBUs
45 SRM

Playing around with a few grists, and trying to hit the numbers above, even with an approx 700 SRM quite dark roast barley and using a 2 SRM Pale base malt, it seems that Extra Stout would need more than 10% Roast barley to hit 45 SRM. (The color increases faster than the strength vs. standard Guinness, so it would seem that the % of Roast Barley needs to, also...)

66.7% Pale (2.0 SRM) -I'm assuming they're still using the Cork Stout malt
20% Flaked Barley (1.7 SRM)
13.3% Crisp Roast Barley @ (696.6 SRM) -definitely on the dark side

I ended up with:

OG: 1.057
FG: 1.014
ABV: 5.62%
IBU: 46.5%
SRM: 45.2%

Seems reasonable enough to me, anyone argue for any changes? (I'd pull 3% of the basemalt and replace with acidulated, and doubt it will change the color.)

Thanks,

Adam

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?
