Is it possible to make your own Guinness ...

or irish stoute drink with an home brew kit ?

Or is it a secret recipe?

definitely possible to make your own stout.

Ever done your own Tony? One of the bowling members does all his own beer and wine , i'll take him the recipe and see how much he'd charge me.

I've used the simple kits (bitter and lager) and had some decent results...nothing fancy though.

good man

You can home brew stout but it can be very temperamental - remember my old man doing it way back when and it was the only thing that ever failed, the assumption being on the grounds of temperature.

Mwemories of his efforts include a very palatable lager (what the fuck would I know, I was about five, I just remember it being like slightly tart pop) and a barley wine in particular that could floor a zebra (which of course I never had).
