I'm planning to make an Irish red ale for my next (3rd) all-grain batch. I'm doing 1 gallon batches and my grain bill is 1.75 lbs of Maris otter, .25 lbs of cara-Amber 25L and 1 oz of roasted barley. I picked Wyeast British ale 1098 to keep it U.K. and for it's low ester prouduction.
I'm thinkng East Kent Goldings,
.25 oz @ 60 mins
.25 oz @ 45 mins
.25 oz @ 15 mins
.25 oz @ flame out
Irish reds aren't a style I know too well so any advice on hop variety and schedule would be great. The grain bill is slightly off recipe to aim for a extra red ale. I'm considering adding an infusion of red fruits (cherry, pomegranate and blood orange) so I wonder if this should effect my hop choice.
