Bottled this on December 22nd 2012 after a 4 week primary. O.G was 1.07 and F.G is 1.02 giving me about 6.55% ABV and 71% attenuation with WL004 Irish Ale Yeast. It has a noticeable sweetness to it that I'd like to dry out just a touch next time around. Other than that it's very smooth, smells and tastes delicious. A definite brew again!

Thanks for the recipe! I brewed this weekend with us-05 & marris otter. Not sure my efficiency was great but eneded up at 1.056 OG, did BIAB starting w 8 gallons of water.
Also used my first ever harvest of my homegrown cascade hops, frozen and dried. Will see.
Thanks to all the posts.

that brew store needs to be smacked around for making you wait!

I've done this recipe with a more aggressive hopping and dry hopping to make it more like a red IPA.. turned out pretty good.

Finally brewed tonight...

OG just over 1.054 (first time batch sparging)...smells very nice and gravity reading tasted very promising!!

Thanks for sharing this recipe Mysticmead...I look forward to enjoying this a month or so from now as there is no doubt in my mind that this will be a very, very tasty crafted brew.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!

just finished making this too!
OG was only 1052
i went to the store and the only honey on the shelf was a 12oz container.
im guessing the missing 4oz of honey and a ****ty sparge are my troubles. next time!
the wort smelled good and the color looked deep red.
it is well aerated and i pitched the yeast with some "yeast energizer" powdered stuff my lhbs had sitting on the shelf.
GO YEAST, GO!!!
