Looks nice! What do you think about using California ale yeast instead? I have some from previous brew?

I like the Irish and English yeasts because of the flavors they impart, however, this one came out terrifically smooth and not so much of the typical British beer notes, so I can see how a cali yeast would work fine.

(*FYI for most of my brew I use safale US-05 - I was just trying to step it up a bit)


Try it and tell me how it turns out!

Hi- don't see mash temp or how long to mash. Can you please let me know? Thanks!

Not sure, would think 152 for 60 minutes

Sorry about the delay. Been busy.

Updated!

Brewing this for the second time for St. Patty's Day. I actually asked people what to brew this year for the holiday. Wanted to try something different this year, but I got a resounding opinion that i should re-brew This recipe because so many people enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the recipe. I used Rogue's Pacman yeast last time. Might use it again. Made a nice and sweet brew. Also throwing some fuggles in for the first hop.

Its a bit late for a response - but I'm glad you enjoy the recipe! It was my first 'real' ag recipe, and definitely one of my favorites.
