Cloning Guinness with Homebrew Challenge

Martin Keen, the intrepid brewer of Homebrew Challenge, who brewed all 99 BJCP beer styles in 99 weeks comes to the pub this week for a lovely chat, and to add his Guinness Clone to our taplist.

This is a really fun chat about how Martin challenged himself to brew every week for 2 years, and how it developed the way he approaches brewing

Guinness Clone - 6 gallons

8 lbs Maris Otter (2.9 SRM) Grain

2 lbs Flaked Barley (1.4 SRM) Grain

2.50 oz Fuggle Pellets [4.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop

Steal a portion of the chilled wort (I took 24 oz form a 5 gallon batch) and place in a covered container in the fridge for 3 days. Boil for 10 minutes, cool, and add to the fermenter with the rest of the beer.
