Happy Happy Joy Joy Stout A glass of Happy Happy Joy Joy stout Happy Happy Joy Joy is the recipe our brewmeister uses to create a rich stout, a touch "bigger" than the Guinness that is imported into the United States. My understanding is that Guinness actually has three different versions of their stout. I call these Irish stout, English stout, and export stout.

The Irish version is purposefully soured by the introduction of lacto bacilli into about 10% of the mash, producing a drink for the Irish palette. This can be easily simulated in homebrewing by addition of a small amount of lactic acid into the finished beer (40cc of an 88% solution in 10 gallons is more than adequate).

The English version is the non-soured version of the same recipe, yielding a much sweeter product suitable for tastes in Great Britain. Happy Happy Joy Joy is brewed to match this configuration most of the time.

The export version has a lower gravity, reducing its body for American tastes. It is also pasteurized.
