Not sure what you'll get out of a 45 minute hop addition- not much flavor, to be sure. Either use a little more bittering, or add more cascades later, at 15 minutes (just a suggestion, not to be taken as anything more). I can't be of much help otherwise. What yeast do you plan to use?

I suggest using 1 lbs C-80 and 2.5 oz Black Patent for the red coloring for steeping, but that is my opinion the hop schedule looks good though Ive never seen an Irish red with those hops....

I threw it into Beer Smith with the results below. Bitterness is low, color and OG are at the upper end of the style. FWIW, the Beer Smith's color estimate is more in brown than red, but it's your beer.

These are sound suggestions as you only get the red color from MUCH darker malts than 120L. I use roasted barley in my reds and use a lower lov caramel for sweetness.

Also, you might want to use a 60 min hop addition only as you don't want a bunch of hop flavor in an Irish Red. You can make it an American Red and leave the hops as is.


I can also recomend using WYeast #1084 Irish Ale. Works great! (#1056 if you go with the American Red)

the yeast i plan on ie either..nottingham or 05, now thats the only hops i can come up with, its as close as i could come, and i ask for yoiur input and thats what i wanted. i have never brewed this before...but i love irish reds

where are you getting the red color from? you'll get slight red hue from the caramunich, but that's about it and i don't think it'll do it.

also, the cascade and liberty is not really to style for an irish red, although you might do fine with that for an american red/amber ale.

i'd also do away with the aromatic.

just some thoughts. still looks like a good recipe.
