Ingredients

Main Ingredients

Preparation

Brewing Process

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients: a pint of Guinness Stout, water, granulated sugar, yeast, barley malt, and hops.

2. Mix Water and Barley Malt

In a saucepan, combine 0.5 cups of water with 0.25 cups of barley malt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it simmers, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3. Add Hops

Once the mixture is simmering, add 0.5 tbs of hops and continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Cool the Mixture

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. This is crucial for adding yeast without killing it.

5. Add Yeast and Sugar

Once cooled, stir in 1 tsp of yeast and 0.5 tbs of granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the yeast is activated.

6. Ferment

Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel and seal it with an airlock. Allow it to ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1 to 2 weeks.

7. Bottle the Beer

After fermentation, siphon the beer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles with caps.

8. Carbonate and Chill

Allow the bottles to carbonate at room temperature for another week. After carbonation, refrigerate the bottles before serving.

9. Serve

Pour the chilled Guinness into a glass, allowing it to settle for a few moments before enjoying the rich flavor.
