Title says it all really; I'd like to do something along the lines of the Guinness Foreign Export for my next all-grain. Something around 7% ABV (so I guess an o.g. around 1.070 - 1.075?).
Does anyone have a particularly recommended recipe for this style of beer?
Something along the lines of Guinness Foreign Export Stout?
I had a quick look because I thought I had the recipe somewhere, but haven't found it yet...and it's late...and I need to sleep!
Until I find it you could just up-gun a standard Guinness recipe to the desired OG and up the hop rate to balance it.
Pale Malt, Flaked Barley, and Roast Barley, in the ratio of 7:2:1. Copper hop with, well, it doesn't matter too much as there are no late additions, but Northdown and Goldings would be near the mark, to about 70-80 IBU. You need a well attenuating yeast. Guinness? Or, Nottingham/Gervin Ale would do it.
5kg pale malt, 1.45kg flaked barley, and 0.75kg roast barley should give you 24L at OG1070 at 80% efficiency, as a guesstimate.

Steve was pretty much bang on with the quantities, I had it kicking around as I was going to do this a while back, but didn't, it's in Wheelers European

But according to the text to get the original "Horse blanket" flavour you are going to need the speciality yeast.
I hope this helps
