Description:

I entered the following recipe in a local homebrew competition. Both judges called it a clean, well made beer but a miss on the style with the beer being to malty and lacking the neccessary roasted character (on a 50 point scale I received a 28 and a 25). The recipe is based on Papazian's Propentious Stout, a recipe he claims is a dead ringer for Guinness.

Ingredients:

• 7 lb. British 2 row pale malt
• 1 lb. flaked barley
• 1 lb. roasted barley
• 1/2 oz. gypsum (in mash water)
• 1 oz. Bullion whole hops (10.3% AA, 60 minutes)
• Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale Yeast

Procedure:
