Today we are trying to clone Guinness

@punkass @sphamma and I are making a dark Guinness like stout, @sphamma brought over a new recipe for a Guinness clone. OK lets get started.
After cleaning the all the buckets and tools we stearlize with the iodine which make great photos.

@sphamma brought over his new wort cooker, a converted keg.
We decided to use a bag to hold all the barley and malt.
@PunkAss had some of the stout that we made a year ago. It was still great.
Sparging the bag,
Next we added the malt extract. It tastes sweet and malty. Mmmmm.
Add a little magic.
and Pray to the beer gods.
oh, just a random photo.
Here I am!
Now that all the cooking is done, we start cooling off with the wort chiller (just a copper tube hooked up to the hose).
Add a little more magic.
Here we are taking the gravity reading to be used later for measuring the alcohol in the beer when it is finished.
add the air lock and we are all done except for the cleanup and waiting.
