Alright mate I am in work but can check later 41 -12 = 29 x.133 =3.8% . Seems low alright . Did you check fermentation had finished 48hrs apart?

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 yes it down to 1.013 which is about right for a stout. Plus that’s what it says on the instructions. I think the OG should be over 1.050. Seems low.

Cheers pal yes it is one of many Guinness clones I have made the recipe is in this video czcams.com/video/X6gsUmJ-qaU/video.htmlsi=GWrFocW5UOSNA3Ue

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 Thanks, I'll give it a go

Alright mate . No you don’t need to use a different lid for the keg . You need a creamer nozzle for your tap doe . Cheers 🍻

Cheers mate I think I have the grain list in this video here enjoy Guinness vs Guinness clone comparison with Larry & Kev + full recipe for all grain brew  czcams.com/video/X6gsUmJ-qaU/video.html

There is a link in the description that has the recipe in it mate cheers 🍻

Yes in some brews mate but that is a 2 can kit everything is in the box . Not a great kit

Hi Michael . No I don’t use priming sugar at all as that will just make fizzy stout . I force carbonate after fermentation and serve cheers hope that helps 🍻

That’s great mate it makes everything nice and smooth I serve between 32/37 psi threw creamer nozzle cheers 🍻

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 thanks mate 🍻

Cheers mate enjoy 🍻

They are both lovely stouts with there own distinct flavors. The closest to Guinness from a kit is probably shamrock velvet stout

Yes it can be noisy at time but when it get to temp I turn the fan off when not in my bar plus tv or music is usually on so don’t hear it

Alright mate it is up there alright. Very close to Guinness and very nice to drink . I am actually going to brew this again very soon but maybe just done minor adjustments. Really nice pint and definitely worth a brew . Cheers 🍻

@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 bit of an update here, Graham. I brewed this and the lactic acid is really a game changer - think I saw you comment saying you didn't add it. If you're doing it again I would recommend it - it was recommended 3-4ml per full corney keg. I used 3.5ml, would maybe do 3ml next time. I got the supplies and syringe and lactic acid from Get Er Brewed. £6 next day delivery across Ireland.

They also do a custom grain kit where you can pre save a custom grain amount of what you need and get the exact amounts sent to you. Order the roasted barley separate though as I learned the hard way that they pack all the grains together so I have to mash them all together and my brew is a bit more roasted than it should be

@lockys06 game changer as in even more like Guinness. I am actually brewing it again tomorrow. My first brew in a long time as I was building my new bar . Finally finished it today will stick a video up later

@@lockys06 I buy in bulk mate and all my grains are separate I buy them from geter brewed and store everything in tuba ware

Should be good after 3 to 4 weeks nice cold crash to clear it . It’s a lovely drop havnt brewed it in a long time but is a hit with everyone

Delighted you are enjoying my channel mate . My Guinness line is about 2m in total give or take . . 35/37 is generally works perfectly. Cheers mate 🍻

​@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 thank you appreciate the info 🍻 looking forward to nice creamy stouts 👍

@upsidedown1986 just having one now myself

I have done so many now always chasing the perfect pint . The electric brewery stout I did is very good well worth brew . When you say lightness do you mean heavy to drink ?

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 lightness in terms of taste. Guinness is quite a mild, smooth taste and the "clone" I attempted had flavors that were too bold, I guess you could say heavy.

@colin_g I no what you mean now pal some people say Guinness is to heavy as in they can only drink 3 and they are full . But flavour wise it wasn’t to heavy a nice brew . The brew I did a pint of plain was very light in flavor in fact probably to light as you could drink way to much of it easily cheers 🍻

Alright Kevin . No my kegs are all the same . Corni kegs

Alright mate yes I carbonate the same way . If you are using the force carbonation method look at my video on force carbonation and go to the comments. I have put up more tips and tricks in them comments that I have found work better . Hope that helps if no feel free to ask . Also are you using a stout nozzle for the stouts as you need it for cascading . Cheers 🍻

I responded in the other message hope it answers you question cheers 🍻

Alright mate . The good stick for me is a nice clean dry glass I only wash my glasses with hot water and a brush they drip dry or I dry them with kitchen towel . It’s very rare I do g get good stick . Don’t use and washing up liquid as it leaves a film on the glass and so t get any stick . Hope that helps cheers 🍻

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 thank you sir! I use a sodium percarbonate but I'll just go with hot water and my brush and see how it goes! Cheers!

Alright mate I actually don’t do secondary anymore. I leave it in the fermenter ontill fermentation is done . Then I move to my cold crashing fridge and leave it there for 3 weeks . Then transfer to my kegs and force carbonate and serve. Hope that helps cheers 🍻

Yes mate you can just use the same amount in hop pellets if you can’t get them should have the same result. Cheers glad you enjoy my videos 🍻

Hi Philip I am delighted you are loving the videos . The closest caned kits to Guinness for me would be shamrock velvet stout or youngs stout . Both close to Guinness and easy to make . I have videos there . But coopers irish stout is a nice drop aswell from a kit . But has it own flavour. When making use spray malt instead of sugar give it a nicer mouthfeel and more body . I have videos there of them brews cheers 🍻

Thank mate I've got coopers irish stout an I never use sugar all ways brew enhancer would you add any hops to it I use a dark liquid malt an safale 04 English style yeast does that sound OK cheers mate nice to hear from you happy brewing.

Cheers mate 🍻

Going to brew it again soon was a lovely drop

To be honest no I am always trying to get the perfect Guinness clone . I will get there someday ontill then I will have to keep brewing and drinking cheers 🍻

Cheers robin enjoy the brew 🍻

Alright Dan it’s getting there I hurt my back unfortunately so has stopped for the moment but hopefully have it complete in a few weeks . I have done a good few pictures so will put a slide show together when I get it done . But as you no a bar will never be done always bits to add 😂 cheers 🍻

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 Definitely! Hope you recover with your back and don't rush it. Back pain can be horrible n last a long time. Finishing the house I nearly cut the end of my finger off with a circle saw. Hospital, stitches then back to work. Week layer it was all heavily infected, ended up off work for 2 weeks 😱 So look after your self first Buddy 👍 Looking forward to seeing some results tho. Cheers 🍻

Cheers mate no worries happy brewing

Sorry only seen your message now I never control my brews always at room temperature for stouts and my beers and ipa are at room aswell but in my fermzilla under pressure so temperature doesn’t matter as much . Cheers 🍻

Cheers for the comment but the water is hot to the hand but not enough to burn me nor the pipes . Pipes are good for 70 degrees so all good no where near that coming out cheers 🍻

Got all my taps second hand on done deal mate

😂😂

No I haven’t mate is it any good

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 I havnt tried it my self but I've herd it's really nice I'm thinking about giving it ago

Let me no how you get on cheers

Alright Kevin . Thanks I always try give an honest review no point lying 🤥. I usually wate a min of 3 weeks but sometimes might keg a few ltrs just to test . No not that I can remember upset stomach. But I have had some that might give me plenty of wind 🌬️ 😂. Cheers 🍻

Thanks Owen 🍻

Cheers Darren can’t wait to finish it 🍻

I am half way threw my build but I will put a video together of pictures and then a video of the finished bar . The year won’t be long going g hopefully you get your new bar sorted

I am build a new bar in a smaller location in my house. I am give my big room to my daughters . No pool table in the new one but still big enough for my darts league . Going g to use some parts the counter top and mirrors, tap but the shape and style will be different. Going to make panel’s around d the bar like a traditional Irish pub big very nice hopefully

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 WTF !!!! sacrifice the pub for your daughters !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO lol. Hope you video it mate !

Cheers mate 🍻

Not sure about in the uk mate but can get it here handy enough

FYI Kegged this on today, tried another 40g of Carafa III to darken up the beer, but had to do another 100g on top of this to get closer to the right colour, so ended up using 180g in total. Don't know if I'm missing something in my original mash process, but keen to condition this and give it a try now 🍺

Sorry forgot to reply to you last week I will check my notes but nearly sure it’s only 40grams

I just checked it mate and the recipe is correct . If funny doe as a few others have brewed it now and the results seem to differ in colour . As you can see mine in the video it’s a perfect colour

@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 Thanks for checking Graham, agree it looks like a lovely pint, luckily no biggie 😊

Alright I share the grain list in that video. I actually need to put it into the description. Will get to it soon

Maybe not sure never happened to myself

I only force carbonate with nitro co2 fix . Never put straight co2 near it . What is your method?

I have a carbonation video on my channel plus loads of tips I gave others in the comments of that video. I can also help you to re juice the carbonation even after your have carbonated it if you need help
