All-Grain - John Lennon BIRA (Birthday India Red Ale)
Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: Nottingham Yeast Starter: nope Batch Size (Gallons): 5.75 Original Gravity: 1.062 Final Gravity: 1.014 IBU: 62 Boiling Time (Minutes): 70 Color: 16.8 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 @ 67 f Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 @ 67 f Tasting Notes: Really wonderful red ale - hoppy, bitter but not too bitter, complex
8.5 lbs 2 Row
6.5 lbs Light Munich
12 oz medium (60) crystal
8 oz dark (80) crystal
4 oz light (40) crystal
2 oz Chocolate Wheat malt
44 g Sorachi Ace @ 60 mins (use any clean bittering hop for 44 iBUs)
56 g Cascade @ 15
28 g Cascade @ 5
56 g Goldings in kettle after flame out while cooling wort
56 g Goldings dry hop 7 days
Mashed at 155 f for 120 mins
Fermented @ 67 f
This is quite a departure form my normal IPAs and pale ales. A really nice beer, English character, hoppy but not too much so, a very drinkable red ale 6.3% ABV. The recipe is based on the IRA recipe in Radical Brewing. All the crystal was British. After secondary I cooled the beer to 35 f for 2 days then kegged it.
I get 60-65% efficiency. |
