I wanted to make an Irish Red 100% my own and keep is SIMPLE. Just looking for some thoughts and feedback, I want to make sure my specialty malts aren't the wrong approach.
Also, just how red is Carared? I really want a nice, deep red, but not dark (like what an Arrogant Bastard may come off in color, but rather a solid red).
Anyways, here's the recipe:
16 SRM, 24 IBU and 6.5% of grain bill Special B... is everything in order? It all conforms to style guidelines, albiet right at the edge.
Cheers!
