So I'm a huge fan of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I've seen some AG clone recipes, but as I'm still somewhat new to brewing (<1 year) and limited in brewing space I am limited to extract beers. I was considering trying to make my own.
I was thinking that the base would have to be malty, so my mind went immediately to an Irish Red kit from Norther Brewer. Sticking with the Ireland thread, I then considered adding a cup (or 1.5 or 2) of Jameson instead of bourbon to secondary and making an Irish Red Whiskey ale. Has anyone made or heard of anything like this? Any thoughts on potential snags I may run into? My fermentor is empty and I'm itching to start branching out from following extract recipes straight from start to finish. I really appreciate the help/advice!
