Here's my interpretation of Guinness Pub Draught (refined after 5 iterations!).

This recipe represents the culmination of my year-long quest to replicate draught Guinness. It's close enough that my Guinness consumption will be significantly curtailed!

Ingredients:

6 lbs John Bull Pale Malt Extract
1 lb Flaked Barley
1/2 lb Roasted Barley
1/4 lb Black Patent
1 oz Northern Brewer whole hops (7.7% alpha)
1 tsp gypsum
Wyeast #1084 (Irish Ale)
1.5 cups Pale Dry Malt Extract for priming

Procedure:

To 2 gal cold water add grains in bag, and gypsum. Bring to boil, boil 5 min., remove grains. Add hops, boil 45 min. Sparge into cold water to make 5 gal of wort. Rack cooled wort off of cold break, pitch yeast.
