Hi,my village in Ireland is having a get together to commemorate the Easter 1916 rising and I d like to brew something for it so I m thinking a Irish Red,this is what I m thinking of going for
72 per cent Irish malted barley - stout malt
4.5 per cent Roasted Barley
5.5 per cent carapils
12 per cent flaked oats
6 per cent wheat
For bittering I am using Fuggles to bring it to 24 ibu's
Which of these yeast would work best between Safale 4 or 5
I am hoping for a quick turnaround on it, I want to brew this weekend but the weather has conspired against me.Hopefully I can next weekend.
So. Any thoughts?
 
Can't help you on the yeast but I would dial the roasted barley percentage back to a maximum of 2% and maybe throw in 4-5% medium crystal malt. With 4.5% roasted I think the beer will be more brown than red.
 
I think s-04 would be more appropriate, also it flocs out quicker than s-05.
^^^& BigEd maybe onto something regarding the roasted barley...
