I'd say you are not pissing in the wind. I brewed this recipe a few months ago. And while it turned out great, the one thing I would change is the ABV. I was shooting for 6.6% which is what the commercial Leffe runs in at, but ended up at 7%. I'm really happy with the flavour - it is a...

Interesting the colour variation in those two pics. Mine was closer to redspy's.

Normally that would be a tough call, but fortunately my beer stocks are healthy just now and I can easily leave the nut brown quietly improving in the corner of there garage... three weeks from now I will crack open the first bottle. I am looking forward to it because it is my first brew using...

I dry hopped this recipe for four days in primary and the result was just how I like it. Nice hoppy aromas and flavour. My method was hanging them into the fermenter in a nylon strainer bag weighted with marbles. All sterilized of course.

Well redspy, your post is slightly confusing, but it sounds like you will be fine. If you had a 1062 OG, and you have pitched yeast, provided you keep a handle on fermentation temperature you will end up with tasty beer and very acceptable ABV %. The slightly low mash temperature will give you...

When I brewed this I had the same thought. There seemed to be an inordinate amount of trubby debris in the fermenter. Almost as much as I had for the previous brew - an IPA with way more hop additions. But I wouldn't worry about it. I can tell you that after nearly three weeks (in primary...

I use brewing assistant and find it to be pretty good. Free and paid versions in the play store .

As promised, a photo (I hope!) of my Kiwi brewed version of Drunken Lullaby. Done as a partial mash, I'm very happy with the result. The colour is stunning. The smooth flavour is spot on, reminiscent of Murphy's Irish red, and it has a nice smooth mouth feel. For all you Northern...

Right you are - crystal HOPS, not crystal malt! I need to read more carefully, although some people in this thread were subbing crystal in here and there too. The colour is superb in those photos, and the beer has been getting rave reviews. It has been added to my recipe hitlist. Great stuff.

I haven't brewed this recipe yet, but am very tempted, given the rosy reviews and my liking for Irish red ale. Some of the more recent comments relate to a desire for a rich ruby red colour. A few months ago I brewed an Irish red which had Vienna malt in the recipe. The red color imparted by...

On a wet and windy Saturday morning here in New Zealand, I spent a very pleasant few hours brewing this recipe (partial mash style). It's the first time I have done an IPA, so the hop quantity is a fair bit higher than I have encountered previously. Despite straining the wort through a...

Hello Dangerbrew... I read all the glowing reviews on here for Drunken Lullaby, and decided it would be the recipe of choice for my second partial mash attempt. I dropped the pale ale malt back and did a late addition of LME and DME. It looked fantastic and I caught hints of a rich red...
