Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like a nice pint of Guinness, but for us homebrewers this is one beer not easily cloned. First of all it uses 3 percent of spoiled beer in every batch, who keeps spoiled homebrew? No thank you. Secondly, Beer Gas or Nitrogen infused carbonation is not a common setup for most of us. In light of this, I came up with a Dry Stout recipe, low in alcohol but with a great depth of flavor (i bought some Guinness too!)

Starrs Dry Stout (5 gl - Allgrain)

6# Maris Otter

.75# Roasted Barley

.5# Chocolate

.33# Black Patent
