    Irish Red Ale Caffrey's Irish Ale clone

    Thanks for the reply. It has been several years since I did this, but I believe that I just put it in the key and used the nitrogen mix. Then using a stout faucet it came out creamy.

    Home Brewer TV #33... Water and Hops

    I have seen all 33. Got to say that I think they are improving each time. I think this episode was one the best. Also in the tasting room segment you have been pouring perfect pints in the last few episodes. Good job.

    Sweet Stout Left Hand Milk Stout Clone

    Another thumbs up. I left it about 4 months in secondary and it tastes good. I like this much better than the mint choc stout recipe posted here. You can taste the chocolate, but there is less of it.

    Wort chiller disappointment
