- Tasting Notes
- Easy drinker, pours with a white head. It's clear and smooth without a hint of bitterness. It has a barley and woodsy flavor with an slight almost fresh cut hay (earthy) arroma.
PLEASE NOTE - Batch Size is 6 gallons
I developed this recipe because I don't like the burnt sugar/prune/raisin taste of Carmel/Crystal 120L. Nor do I like the burnt bitter coffee taste of 500L roasted barley. But I do like a smooth easy drinking Irish red ale.
If your going to brew this, Go easy on the boil
A gentle rolling boil is all that's needed. There no need to carmelize any sugars with this beer.
I use a 300 micron hop spider for the hop additions. And a 300 micron stainless dry hop spider, that I converted into a wort filter. The wort filter is used in between the kettle and mashtun and also in-between the kettle and the primary fermenter. It's amazing how much protein and kettle sludge it catches that doesn't make it into the primary.
