I'm looking to make a stout in the next few weeks. I've been leaning toward something like a Guiness clone and I've found a few that look decent. But does anybody have a good "go to" recipe for a stout? Doesn't have to be Irish stout, just anything that's good. Thanks.

Re: Stout
The dry stout from BCS is a good base recipe.

I've made this one a few times. Very simple and not grain intensive.

"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Re: Stout
Just going from memory, but that looks very similar to the BCS recipes.jtmwhyte wrote:http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/ ... rish-stout

Re: Stout
I started a thread called “Black Gold – How can I brew the Guinness” on my old BIAB site. It’s an international site and there are posts from an Irish barman on why the Guinness there is so good. If you have the time you might find something useful in there. Dispensing with nitrogen seems to be an important thing. Does anyone do that here?
