First try at an Irish Red

[jaaron91]

I posted something over in the beginners forum about the batch I'm making tomorrow, but figured it wouldnt hurt to get some specific feedback on the recipe here.

10lb Maris Otter
8oz Special Roast
8oz Biscuit Malt
6oz Crystal 40
6oz Crystal 65
4oz Roasted Barley

1oz Challenger Hops 7.2%AA
Wyeast Irish Ale Yeast

Est OG 1.054
SRM 15.3
15 IBU's
5.0% ABV

Thoughts? This will be my second batch so far

That actually looks pretty good. Just make sure that you do want some roast taste in it, you'll definitely get some.

I'm assuming your hop addition is at the beginning of the boil of course.

Yep, hops at 60 min. Whirfloc tablet at 15
