Irish Red Ale Quaffable Irish Red (All Grain) Scrapper's

[Staestc]

I'm going to bottle the extract version of this in a few days if I can get off work long enough. The hydrometer sample I took before I racked it to the secondary was great. Now I have everything I need except the time to do the all-grain version

Did you really mash this at 1.08 qt/lb? I noticed you mashed the Grillndeere at 1.25 qt/lb. Is there a reason why this one is mashed so thickly (if that is the proper term)? This will be my first all grain ever, so just want to make sure I'm getting it right before we brew it. Thanks,

 

[Schlenkerla]

I created that recipe awhile ago.... I'd mash at the 1.25 water to grist ratio

OMG! Your soon to be 6 year old son is the one at the beginning of this thread!! lol I had no idea when I read the Grillnbeere recipe this morning that they were one and the same! Grats! And thanks for the help as I approach my first all grain attempt.

 

[Schlenkerla]

No problem. That's kind of cool that you recognized this.

Started a batch of this yesterday. Our starting gravity was a little low (1.048), but it'll be fine. Can't wait to try it in a couple of weeks.

I think neither.... http://www.brew.is/files/malt.html

You need something with 50L like a a brown malt. Maybe CaraMunich or Medium Crystal.

The ones you suggested are too dark.

Finally about to brew this one this weekend as my first all grain! Been trying to for the last couple of months, but it looks like it may happen Sunday! Wish me luck

 

[Raisoshi]

Brewed mine with some substitutions. Used US-05.

76.2% Pilsen malt(Brazilian)
5.6% Carapils
5.6% Carahell
5.6% Victory
1.0% Carafa 1
0.3% Roasted Barley

Had my propane hose get loose and almost set fire to the house midway through the boil, and a bit of fire extinguisher foam over the wort. Skimmed it off and boiled on my oven in separate small kettles. Had to top up with water because boiloff was too strong. Worst brew day ever.

No clue about IBUs, was aiming for the lower one, but OG was 1.047 and FG was 1.010. Turned out nicely despite all the mess, cleared with gelatin directly on the keg. It's pretty tasty.

Good looking beer! It's going to be crappy weather here so will be brewing in my shop instead of out in the back patio. I will try not to burn my shop down!!

Haha yeah. Served me right for using a low pressure hose on a high pressure burner :cross:

Lucky you not burnning down your house or worse getting hurt.

Well we got it brewed Sunday and it went pretty well I think for my first attempt at all grain. I have tons of notes and measurements to sort out, and procedure changes to document, but it's in the fermentor happily bubbling away!

 

[Staestc]

I don't mean to be daft, but this is my first all grain. I missed the OG by a few points, but I took a sample tonight to see how it was going since I am pretty sure it is as fermented as it will get, and I measured 1.006. Then I looked back at the recipe for the final gravity, and saw that the original was 1.047 and the final is listed at 10.12. Please help me understand what was meant by these numbers. Well, the 1.047 I understand. But what is the 10.12? Or was it supposed to be 1.012??

Yeah its a mistake should be 1.012

I messaged TxBrew to fix this. If you look again quickly, the decimal is in the wrong spot. 10.12 vs 1.012

Gearing up for my boy's birthday beer. Its not too far off, I need to make this.

I need to do it again! I just found that I have one left from the extract and all grain version I brewed. Not sure which it is though, since it's been so long, and may not be able to tell by the taste, since they were very close to each other in taste. Both were just great!

I'm looking to brew this for my next. I am wanting a spicy hoppy red. I am looking at the 38.2 IBU version. If I used Chinook instead of Goldings would I get that result? Should I use the same amount and same time?

I've never used Chinook before, in this beer or any other and I've been brewing for ten years.

Try with Chinook at 60 minutes and finish with an English hop like Willamette under 15 minutes. Use a hop calculator to get the target IBU.

If you use this recipe below, check the water values I'm not sure if they are adjusted correctly for your process. I just adjusted the mash for 1.25 quarts/lb mashing and 1.75 quarts/lb sparging. You need to add more water for grain absorption. This calculator omits that correction. Its generally a 10:1 ratio. Its 10lbs about 1 gal lost in absorption.

Digging this recipe up and have a question about the grist bill, specifically the Crisp Chocolate malt.

That specific malt actually has a ~630L measurement but normal chocolate malts are only half that dark. But the recipe link you posted above shows a normal chocolate malt in the 350L range.

@Schlenkerla What is intended for this recipe? I've tried substituting Crisp Chocolate for "normal" lighter chocolate in BeerSmith and the beer color indicator really takes on a red color when the Crisp chocolate and its ~630L is in the grist. So I'm inclined to think that the darker malt would be best but wanted your input Mr. OP.

FWIW, I cant find Crisp Chocolate here but it looks like I could probably sub Paul's Roasted Barley as its in that same color range.

Thoughts?
