Well all week long I had been planning an irish red and after my visit to LHBS many thing went awry. First of all, they were out of any kind of standard base malt, so I had to go with a pilsen base. Secondly they were out of wyeast 1084, so there goes my standard irish red brew plans. So I am going to use wyeast 1275 (thames valley) and hop it liberally with some whole cone liberty hops in an attempt to make an interesting, sessionable red ale. I am hoping for a nice spicy, fruity nose from the yeast and hops with an intersting malt background and a fairly dry to medium finish. Please give me any advice, i hate having to compromise my recipes, but I am somewhat excited about this one.....it could be tasty.
