Going to start an Irish Red Ale from Northern Brewing, has anyone made it yet/anything you did differently that turned out good?
one of my extract batches was an Irish Red that turned out REALLY good. I could pull it from my beersmith if you want...
I might take you up on that offer in the future haha
an irish red was the first recipe i ever developed on my own. It's really not that complicated, but, in my opinion, using the actual irish ale yeast is essential. Nottingham is too clean (when handled properly), and s-04 gives you something along the lines of an esb. You'll get very good beer from either, but it won't be a real irish red. Besides, the price difference between dry and liquid yeast is down to a buck or two now. No reason not to do it right.
