But beyond the familiar draught stout, Guinness has produced a number of different beers over the years, including the fuller-bodied Guinness Extra Stout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Guinness Extra Stout All Grain Tribute Recipe Kit is based on the recipe published by renowned British brewing author Graham Wheeler in \u003cem\u003eBrew Your Own British Real Ales\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a proper old-school stout recipe rather than simply a dark beer with a Guinness name attached to it. Expect a deep, intensely dark beer with a pronounced roasted character, firm bitterness and the dry, satisfying finish that makes traditional Irish stout such a rewarding style to brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrew Your Own Guinness Extra Stout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tribute recipe has been put together for home brewers who want to recreate the character of a classic Guinness Extra Stout in their own brewery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an original gravity of 1.042, a finishing gravity of 1.013 and around 3.8% ABV, this isn't a heavyweight stout. It's a beer designed to be enjoyed by the pint – dark, roasty, bitter and remarkably drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45 IBU bitterness gives the beer plenty of structure, balancing the roasted malt character and helping produce the dry finish associated with traditional Irish stout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd at around 203 EBC, this is properly dark. Hold it up to the light and you may find the familiar deep ruby highlights hiding beneath that almost-black appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGuinness Extra Stout Brew Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatch Size \u003c\/strong\u003e23l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.8%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEBC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 203 EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese figures are the targets for the recipe supplied in this kit.
