you're welcome! This is by far one of my favorites to brew. yes the honey flavor ferments out but the result is worth it. This beer is very versatile when it comes to changes. my current version I made a bit hoppier and dry hopped. sort of like a Northwestern Red Ale

Brewed 10 gallons of this last night! Only changes were WY1084 Irish Ale yeast and subbed the caraaroma for Crystal 120.

This weekend I had some friends over for dinner and the Irish guy had his wife cut him off after four glasses. Nice complement to hear an him say, "that was a right proper Red, liked it better than Smith'icks. Told me wife on the drive home I might try home brewing myself."

Just kegged the AG version today, should be on the tap in a week or so. Really enjoyed this brew, got the neighbors wandering over noticeably more often, and they go for the Raging Red straight away.

Been in the bottle 5 days, I will post my tasting notes in a week or two after it's properly conditioned.

here's my latest.. first sample taken from the keg... I'll get some more pics this weekend hopefully with some natural lighting so the red really shines... that's if it lasts long enough.. it's going camping

nice red color.. hoppy aroma (I dry hopped this one with 2oz of Galena), Malty, and a creamy head.

nice lacing

Couple iPhone pics, but they don't show the color well. It isn't so dark in person. This has been in the keg for a week. Turned out really well, despite the leaky spigot that caused me to dump the whole thing into a new primary on day 2, and the broken fridge that meant I had to ferment in a closet where the temp on the bucket showed 76 degrees. I was worried for naught, brew is splendid.

Planning to brew this recipe in a couple of days as my first all-grain beer. Showed the recipe to my LHBS guy. He said, "Looks like a good one." The guy's a genius in my view; so, I'm excited to get started.
