This came out well. It's a dark ruby color and has a nice malty, dry flavor. Toe to toe with Sam it's darker.Flavor is similar but mine tastes a bit richer. Sam is a bit more carbed. Will do this one again for sure.

Stop pooping in the fermenter, guy!

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I've tweaked the grain bill as follows: 2oz Roasted Barley 4oz Honey Malt 8oz Melanoidin Malt 1lb Crystal 60 8lb Two Row That gives the following results according to BeerSmith: 1.051OG, 25.8 IBU, 13.1 SRM I'll stick with the original hop...

Would you guys add some crystal malt and more two row to make up the difference in color and gravity?

Hi Guys, I'm trying a red ale recipe using Melanoidin and Honey malts (I haven't used either yet). Trying to keep it simple and get a nice color/malty flavor. I tend to like smooth, malty British ales. What do you think? (AG, 5gal batch) 8lb 2-row Malt 1lb Honey Malt 2lb Melanoidin Malt...

Just started a variation on this today. I found a .5g package of saffron at the local Indian spice store for 4.99. Doesn't seem like a deal killer at all. I'm going to substitute loganberry juice for the grape juice and see what happens =). I'm also going to use 4.5 lb of British 2-row and 4 lb...

I am a big fan of Grampa Tony's Cider from AppleBrook Farm. Unpasteurized and delicious! http://www.applebrookfarm.com/

Had my first taste of this recipe last night. Not bad. Very thick mouthfeel. Hoppy nose and taste (but not overpoweringly hoppy like an IPA). Very drinkable, not very strong. The thick mouthfeel is what stands out to me the most. The head retention isn't great, but not awful either. Not bad for...

I gave this recipe a shot a couple of weeks ago. It's in secondary fermentation now and looks/tastes pretty good so far!
