Notes

Not intended to be a perfect Guiness clone. Check out the homebrew challenge channel on youtube for the exact clone.

Used Quaker quick oats, roasted in the oven at 300f for 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes. Gives oats a golden color and toasty note when done. Let oats sit in a paper bag for 1 week before use(important).

After boil reserve 1L of wort and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Leave for ~3 days at room temperature to sour. Mine grew a skin over top, discard that (still tasted great). Boil for ten minutes or so then add to fermenter.
