Notes:
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=51, Mg=10, Na=16, Cl=71, S04=71
(Keeping the Cl:S04 ratio even for a balance between malt and bitterness, hitting the minimums on Ca and Mg).

Grind the roasted barley fine (I use a setting of 10) and add it after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over, stop the mash pump, add the roasted barley, and give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain bed. You need to stir well as otherwise the fine layer of powdery roasted barley on top may stop the flow. Start the mash pump again and continue with your mashout. The wort will be cloudy again but it will clear as the grain bed rises to mashout temperature over 20-30 minutes.

Try and use the recommended White Labs WLP-004 or Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeasts. While something like Fermentis Safale US-05 (American Ale / Chico) yeast can be substituted and works well, it's just not the same as it's a bit too clean fermenting and lacks some of the complexity.

Serve this beer with fairly low carbonation (the lower the better in my humble opinion, or even better, as a cask ale). If you have the means to serve it through a beer engine with no extra carbonation at all other than residuals left over from fermentation, do it! I think you'll really enjoy the difference. I serve mine on a stout faucet pushed by 30/70 C02/Nitrogen blend to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer, exactly how Guinness is served on tap. One cheap and inexpensive way to (sort of) mimic this is to use a syringe. Pour the beer as you would normally and then suck up a syringe full and force it back into the beer, hard. Repeat 2-3 times and you'll knock most of the C02 out of solution leaving a nearly flat beer with a creamy head. Over carbonation destroys a lot of the subtleties of this beer. Don't over carbonate!

add 88% lactic acid to the beer after fermentation is done, before kegging. This is said to be what Guinness does today because it's cheaper, easier, and more efficient than relying on bacteria. All is takes is around 3-4 ml per 5 gallon keg. Go sparingly adding 0.5 ml at a time until the taste is to your liking. You can also use this method to do a trial run to see if you like the results: Once the beer is kegged and on tap, add 1-2 drops with an eye dropper to a 16 oz glass of beer and see what you think. 1 drop per 16 oz is equivalent to 2 ml in 5 gallons. Careful not to overdo it!

Notes: Used dried malt extract due to batch size limitations with system. Use malt base malt if possible.

Drew about a gallon of boiling wort into a stainless mixing bowl. Mixed PB powder into the hot wort with cake mixer the. Added the mixture back into the kettle during whirlpool.

Underpitched yeast and fermented at 72F.

Did not add freeze dried bananas. May try on the next batch.

Notes: Brewed 11/24/13. Hit about 150F on the strike. I clogged the false bottom on accident so I had to dump it into the boil kettle and then dump it back into the mash. I then had to top off about a half gallon to get it up to about 150F. pH was 5.2 which is a bit lower than the predicted one. Used the pump for the first time to recirculate and to pump sparge. Prolly have to adjust the pump hose length on the sparge one. Boil kettle efficiency is at 79%. Boil was very vigorous and I think that it boiled off a lot. Also, the large amount of whole hops absorbed a lot of wort. I got 5.25 gal of wort and topped off with a half gallon of water. Made the efficiency suffer. I also mashed a bit lower than I expected. Chilled down to about 68F. Might add some corn sugar to kick up the gravity a bit. 11/25/13 added half pound of corn sugar just to kick the gravity up a bit. Temp was about 60/62F in the morning. Evening time it had risen up to about 65F so I cooled it down again with a couple of ice packs. 11/26/2013 temp has risen to 67F so I cooled it down to about 64F. By night it had drifted back up to 67F so I cooled it down to 65F. 12/16/13 took a gravity reading which puts the brew at 1.014. Dry hopped 12/18/2013. Racked into a keg 12/30/2013. Used 2 tbs of biofine but is still seemed a bit cloudy. There was also some pellet dry hops that made it into the keg. Tasted on 1/2/2014 and it's pretty good. Has somewhat of a harsh bitterness and is a little tannic but that might mellow. It's also a bit less hop forward than I was expecting. Still tasty though. This brew took 3rd place in IPA at the BAM World Cup of Beer 2014.
