So, who's brewing on St. Patty's Day? What are you brewing?
I'm brewing an Imperial Irish Stout with WLP004 Irish Ale yeast! :rockin:

Doing an Irish oatmeal stout. First attempt at this so I'm excited. Went in to buy the ingredients last weekend and ended up making a Irish Red on Saturday. Just wish I had thought of this a month ago so I could have drank it on the 17th.
Stauffbier said:I think I've decided to turn the fore-mentioned batch into my first attempt at overnight mashing. I'll mash in friday night and then saturday morning I'll collect 1st runnings, sparge, and boil. I'm doing this for two reasons. The main reason is a high wind advisory for saturday, and since I boil outside I want to beat the gusts if I can. The other reason is I've just been wanting to try it.. I hope it works out! It's a big(ish) beer, and I'd hate to mess it up!
I'd be concerned with the mash souring overnight.
Well, that's 3 posts about Irish Red. It must be good!! I've never actually had one. I guess it's time to pick one up at my local craft brew shop and see if it's something I'd like to brew..
