I had gone online a while back looking for a Guinness clone. I pretty much followed it to a T except to add an additional half Lb. of Maris Otter. It came out very good but more like the draught than the Guinness that I wanted to make. It was lacking that mouth feel that I wanted. But, I'm brewing it again, with a few modifications and adding the honey. The major modification is I added 1 Lb. of Crisp crystal caramel malt (for mouthfeel), and of course, the honey - 2 lbs for this first attempt at doing this.
The original recipe is this, if you want to try it.
6.5 Lbs Maris Otter
1 Lb flaked barley
1 Lb roasted barley
1.75 oz E Kent Goldings (60 minute boil)
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale
Steep for 60 then boil for 60
Here is my updated recipe
7 Lbs Maris Otter
1 Lb flaked barley
1 Lb roasted barley
2 oz E Kent Goldings (60 minute boil)
Safale S-04 yeast (My local place doesn't carry Wyeast)
2 Lbs Clover Honey (poured in prior to boil, after sparge)
3 gallons strike water - 2 gallons of sparge water.
90 minute steep @ 150 degrees
60 minute boil
