I am going to make a Guinness clone next brew using standard 7:2:1 ratio of pale malt/flaked barley/roasted barley. Well anyway when I put numbers into berrtools I get an SRM of about 28. I am wondering is that a bit low or is it acceptable? Was thinking of adding a bit of choc to darken more but also wary of making it too roasty.
 
28 is a bit low. Stouts are normally 60+ (see here). Having never done a Guinness clone, and not having my other stout recipes to hand I can't really tell you what to do though.
 
Although that does seem a little low, I used to make stout to that ratio regularly and it always turned out fine :thumb:
 
thanks folks, hopefully make this brew next. Nice link for colour chart. So about 35 srm for stouts, about 29 srm does not look too far off though.
