hi

I am from uk and as you might get from my tag I am a dark beer fan. I am currently on a diet and cant drink but when i do i love murphys stout and so would love to find a home brew kit with that "not bitter" taste.

i hope to get a better knowledge of beer brewing and which beers would suit my pallet.

look forward to getting to know you all and to find my niche.

cheers

bill

Hello Porter! Welcome to the site...

Hmm.. Apparently, I have never had Murphy's Irish Stout - just the red.

I found a clone recipe for that beer...

5.25 lbs. British pale malt (68%)
1.5 lbs. Flaked Barley (19%)
0.75 lbs. British Roasted Barley (9.7%)
0.25 lbs. British Chocolate Malt (3.2%)

1.11 oz Northern Brewer hops (60 min.)

Nottingham yeast

Mash with 1.25 qts/lb at 152 degrees F for an hour.
