Jon, when you make it, do you follow his original recipe, or are you mashing the roasted barley in with the rest? Do you make any adjustments for that if you mash it all together?

I only did his once and I used his recipe and process to the letter. Came out outstanding. I normally brew my American stout but I need to revisit that one. It's legit Irish stout.

Kind of late in the game here, but I really enjoyed the dry stout from Brewing Classic Styles.  I think Jamil calls it "Cerveza de Malto Seco".  The one thing that was different was that he advises nearly powdering the dark malt in a coffee grinder.  I did this, and I'm pretty sure it contributed to a stuck mash.  The beer was great though.  I might give Martin's recipe a go too.  Cheers!

Wow! Thanks for the compliments. While the grist that I use is pretty typical, its really the water and technique that makes the Dry Stout difference. Regular mash at about 5.4 in RO or distilled water followed with the roast barley addition at the end of the mash. That drives down the wort pH and that is the signature of the style. The flavors of Roast Barley meld with the grainy flavor of raw barley and are offset by the acidity of the low beer pH.

I haven't tried Golden Promise in this recipe, but I do like that malt.

Would you share your recipe for me?  I don't have access to back issues of Zymurgy.  No rush, but I'd like to give it a shot!

I'm brewing something like this soon. Maybe I'll call it Michael Fitzpatrick Stout.
