I am looking at doing a Irish Red over the weekend so I will have some for St Patty's Day. First time posting a recipe, so looking for feedback if anyone has suggestions. I based my thinking mostly from this one https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f65/irish-red-1st-place-hbt-comp-141086/ but wanted to get some caramunich in also as I like malty. I have willamette on hand so I used them for the bittering instead of fuggles as I don't think it will make any difference in bittering. I also have the 1450 yeast on hand, which is part of why I selected to do a Irish Red. I see I forgot to put the whirlfloc on here, but I use that also.
