Guinness Extra Stout (13A) - ALL GRAIN Homebrew Ingredient Kit

This was the first time I tried this brew-kit, and very slightly changed the recipe. Everything was followed to the letter except I added an extra 8 ounces of Dark DME along with the 5 lbs, Amber LME. During the brew and boil, everything looked and smelled absolutely AWESOME! That roasted grain aroma was amazing. Fermented for 5 days, or pretty much when the airlock was down to @ 1 bubble every 30-40 seconds. OG 1.051, FG 1.013. Alc-just under 5%. This was my first keg on a Nitrogen tap system and I let it keg condition for right at 2 months. Well, the friends and I have done the side-by-side with the canned Guinness and every last one of us prefer my keg to the original. Great taste, with only a slightly lighter mouth feel. Beautiful Cascade during the pour..., which takes @3-4 minutes to let it fill, settle, and refill. I don't drink this one all of the time and was wondering if we didn't drain the keg quickly, would it taint the flavor over too much time, but I didn't need to worry. Its still a great beer and I will be doing this one again, and again.

I brewed this beer about two months ago using the all grain recipe. I primary fermented for 2 weeks at @ approx 70 degrees and secondary fermented for 4 weeks @ 60 degrees F. I kegged and allowed the keg to carbonate for 1.5 weeks . Served using a stout faucet and and KB gas mixture 75% N2 25%CO2. Let let tell you the keg was gone in two weeks. All of my friends and neighbors loved it. The beer came out a bit thinner than Guinness, but many of my friend prefered it. I'm told I have to make it again. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.

Very good and easy drinking. We bottled this so no creamy "preacher's collar"

Brewed this as directed. Awesome. My wife and I kegged it and we both agree we like it more than Guinness. Buy this one with confidence. It's great.
