Under My Kilt Irish Red
Just tapped this a few days ago. It was such a big hit with the guys and the girls that I felt obligated to post it! :rockin:
Under My Kilt Irish Red 8 lbs 4 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) 82.50 % 12.0 oz Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) 7.50 % 12.0 oz Cara 45 (45.0 SRM) 7.50 % 2.0 oz CaraAroma (150.0 SRM) 1.25 % 2.0 oz Roasted Barley (462.0 SRM) 1.25 % 0.50 oz Northern Brewer [9.00 %] (60 min) 18.1 IBU 0.50 oz Cascade [7.00 %] (30 min) 7.2 IBU 0.75 oz Mt. Hood [4.60 %] (10 min) 2.8 IBU 1 Pkgs European Ale (Wyeast Labs #1338) Recipe based on 83% efficiency. Mashed at 150F/60 min. It's not quite red. Needs to be a tad darker to be red. It was so good I think I'll leave the recipe as is for next year. It's a malty full bodied ale with just the right amount of bitterness. I went with some cascade to Americanize it a bit. BTW: This yeast is a real slow fermenter. Give it at least 3 weeks. I had to rack and let it go another couple weeks. I also let this condition a bit before tapping. (brew date: 1/15, tap date: 3/15). Update: 3/25... It's dead! Took less than 10 days!!! |
Just curious, why'd you only use two ounces of CaraAroma?
