Another great video, Graham. I really want to try this recipe, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to step mash it. With my system now, it's not really possible unless I go the decoction route. And then, accurate temps would probably be a challenge. I really need to build a recirculating mash tun with a heating element powered through a PID controller and then just add a pump. (I've always wanted to do that anyway) When I add all the prices together, it may actually be cheaper to buy a used electric system and just use it as a mash tun. LOL (I really like the speed of my propane burner) Anyway, Cheers!!! 🍻🍻 Love the channel!
Cheers Max glad you love my channel, personally I would just buy a system take the heart ship out of it . Fairly cheap and this is definitely worth a brew unfortunately it’s all gone now drank the last of it last nt . Brew day tomorrow another Guinness clone cheers 🍻
Sorry only seen your message now I never control my brews always at room temperature for stouts and my beers and ipa are at room aswell but in my fermzilla under pressure so temperature doesn’t matter as much . Cheers 🍻
Has this been your best yet, Graham? I am moving in to all-grain and was pleased to see you've already tried this as this was gonna be my first and I hadn't saw any video reviews.
Alright mate it is up there alright. Very close to Guinness and very nice to drink . I am actually going to brew this again very soon but maybe just done minor adjustments. Really nice pint and definitely worth a brew . Cheers 🍻
@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 bit of an update here, Graham. I brewed this and the lactic acid is really a game changer - think I saw you comment saying you didn't add it. If you're doing it again I would recommend it - it was recommended 3-4ml per full corney keg. I used 3.5ml, would maybe do 3ml next time. I got the supplies and syringe and lactic acid from Get Er Brewed. £6 next day delivery across Ireland.
They also do a custom grain kit where you can pre save a custom grain amount of what you need and get the exact amounts sent to you. Order the roasted barley separate though as I learned the hard way that they pack all the grains together so I have to mash them all together and my brew is a bit more roasted than it should be
@lockys06 game changer as in even more like Guinness. I am actually brewing it again tomorrow. My first brew in a long time as I was building my new bar . Finally finished it today will stick a video up later
Looks great! Did you end up adding the lactic acid the recipe calls for? And how would you compare it to the pint of plain recipe you posted a few months ago?
Cheers mate no I didn’t actually and i was have a few with a friend of mine last nt and both agreed it didn’t need anything extra we both where happy with it . Comparing it to the pint of plain this one has a bit more to it in there of flavor. But would happily brew both again . Brew day tomorrow another Guinness clone cheers 🍻
I have a carbonation video on my channel plus loads of tips I gave others in the comments of that video. I can also help you to re juice the carbonation even after your have carbonated it if you need help
Cheers mark . I wash with only hot water staring from the tap drip dry for most part then finish with kitchen towel . Defo no washing up liquid or soaps as it leave a film on the glass . I also use a glass washing brush . Do t no if any of that helps Mark
Ok I've always used washing up liquid..... I've got a glass washer brush that does a great job on cleaning. It must be the washing liquid as you say leaving a coating on the inside of the glass. Thanks for your help and advice 👍 Keep them coming graham !!
