Well my first batch didnt taste too good to me. Others loved it, but I am not brewing ti for them...that was the Irish stout recipe that I dropped half the grains on the ground
Anywho, for my second batch I wanted to do a Harp clone. ever since i went to ireland in 2004 I fell in love with harp...so I went to the page I had book marked for austin homebrews harp clone kit, and they got rid of it. I searched everywhere and couldnt find it...I even e-mailed them with no response as to the reason it was removed.
So I looked around online and could only find half assed recipes that used extract. So I decided to experiment a little (I am a fast learner). I combined some of the recipes that seemed to have it, but not quiet leaving some ingredients out in facor of others. I did make it using a steam beer yeast because I am not prpared for lagering, but I am not dissapointed at all.
It tastes very similar to harp just missing the snap which I swear has to be cloves...it just tastes so much like cloves to me. So I am very happy with it...I let it sit in the fermentor longer as suggested, about a month, and they have been in bottles for about 3 weeks now, and taste great, perfectly carbonated, and hold a great head...
Just in time for St Patricks day I get my home brewed rendition of my favorite drink!!!!!
