  So I can't remember where this recipe came from, but I had it written down. Let me know if it
  sounds like it will hold true to the style of an irish red, or if I should make some changes. I
  haven't br...

  Yes it is. With a 1/2 lb more honey and 1/2 lb less extract because that's the only amounts I
  could buy it in. Thanks for the advice. Hope it starts going because it's tying up the
  fermenter!

  I pitched one vial of yeast. I didn't know that you might need more when lagering. The recipe

  I have ordered many AHS kits and they all turn out great by just following the directions. Very
  easy. I agree that you may want to hold off on a high gravity beer until you are a few more
  batches into...

  I spend most of my summers surfing and fishing. I hate the winter and spend it mostly drinking

  Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll just let the recipe roll on as is. I did a pumpkin pie
  ale last year that turned out good that used pumpkin in the boil so this will give me a
  "pumpkinless" versi...

  I have a pumpkin pie ale in the primary now. I did not use any actual pumpkin for the recipe,
