Nope! I'm going to stick it all in a corny and drink it!

I've recently got a 70/30 mixed gas regulator and bottle, so this is my test beer to see if I can close to that Pub type Guinness body and head with this setup. We'll see how it goes.

It's down at 1015 today, so is probably done. Taste test results are pretty good.....it's nice and creamy and surprisingly close to Guinness already. The roast barley isn't as sharp as I had expected - I wonder if the flaked barley almost has a buffering effect on the bitterness of the roast....
