Description

Known around the world Guinness Draught is a beautiful smooth easy drinking stout more bitter than the Murphys stout, and more roasty. A beer that really truly is best enjoyed on draft served with nitro for that smoothness.

Well we can’t bring you the experience of drinking it at the brewery which is the best place to drink it but we wanted to do our best to try and give you the chance to experience if fresh at home with an all grain kit.

Comments:

Feeling super adventurous? To get that “Guinness tang,” try this. After pitching the yeast to your stout, siphon 540ml. of pitched wort to a sanitised 22 oz. bottle. Pitch bottle with a small amount of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus (not included). Cover bottle with aluminum foil and let ferment out. When beer in bottle is done fermenting, pour it in a saucepan and heat to 71 °C for 15 minutes to kill the bugs. Cool the beer and pour it into a clean sanitised bottle. Cap bottle and refrigerate. Add to stout when bottling or kegging the full batch..
