Today is my first solo try at extract brewing. I have been brewing with my dad for a couple years now and today I am going it alone. To make matters more interesting I crafted this recipe myself (well kinda, a lot of research went into hoping this will taste good.) I am trying to do an Irish Red Ale. Recipe:
6 Lbs. Gold LME
.5 Lbs. Crystal 60L
.5 Lbs. Caramel 40L
.25 Lbs. Light Roast Barely
1 oz. Fuggles (Bittering)
1 oz. Glacier (Aroma)
Wyeast ACT1084 Irish Ale
So far so good. Steeped the grains bring the water to boil. Added the LME and Bittering hops. Sanitizing my bucket now. The only problem I am running into is that I took my yeast out late (will only have an hour and a half to swell) and I am worried that that will not be enough time. Are my concerns warranted?
Thanks in advance.
