Yes I did. Couldn't resist.

I can see now where the canned/bottled, local draft versions get mixed reviews from the folks who have tasted an "authentic" recipe.

This recipe was much roastier than I would have expected. Very good though.

I'd imagine that changing the grains ratio from 65% Pale, 25% Flaked Barley and 10% Roasted Barley to 70%, 25%, 5% would tame down and mellow the flavor.

I happen to like this recipe and will likely brew it again. It came in a bit higher ABV% than I would have thought...around 5.2%. Turns out that my Bass & Co Ale is also ready to tap and I've been serving up authentic Black & Tans which are outstanding. I'm willing to bet that this combo tastes even better during the cold winter months.

I brewed one similar to this. I made one error though. I scaled a 10 gallon recipe down to 5 gallon. At the last minute I decided to add the acid malt. I put the full .25 lb in. I am hoping it is not too sour. It did not taste bad after the boil, so I will see.

I racked onto a Safale 04 yeast cake I had from the Irish Red I brewed the week before. My OG came in at 1.040.

Keep us posted on the brew process.

My SWMBO had a couple of work friends over Friday night and of course I had to give their husbands the brew shop and sampling tour. When we came across this beer, the guys took a swig of the "black gold" and that was it...

They pert near poslished off nearly half a keg in about 30 minutes. It was much more of a success than I would have thought.

Guinness and Killian's Red are my all time favorite beers (sticking with my heritage I guess) , so thanks for posting.

Two questions though- You said a buttload of starter but didn't specify- how big of a batch of starter did you use?

And two- It doesn't need to be a Killian's clone, but does anyone here know where to find a good Irish Red recipe?

I love it! It needs to age though. I tried it two weeks in the bottle. Not so hot. Three weeks... not much better. Let it sit in the bottle at least a month, maybe more.

It's smooth and delicious. The only change I might consider is maybe to add some carafoam as it doesn't hold it's head very long. I might give that a try next time. I don't know though, it's awful good as is. It's definitely going to be one of my regulars.

I'm drinking a batch made using the basics of this recipe. Poured off of a nitro tap, this stuff is heaven in a glass.

Every time I see a beer that was poured off from a nitro tap, I get a little tear in my eye. Man, I love that.
