Just like Qhadafi's brother-in-law, saying his four sisters are cum beltching whores.

There its no quarter four you in the palace.

Is there something I can use instead of the special roast that is not available at my LHBS ?
I got like any crytal, special B...

Neither of those are good substitutes. I would need to find another roasted malt. Give me some time to find a sub. My gut tells me if they dont have special roast, they probably won't have the sub. Maybe the naming is different.

Edit : I would suggest victory or biscuit as a sub for special roast.

 

[SimBrew]

Thanks for the fast answer, I got the biscuit and if I don't brew it this weekend, I'll order the special roast online as I like to taste to original recipe before twiking it.

Well my man, it's official. This is my first stab at All GRAIN BREWING!!! pitched the yeast a couple of days ago and it is doing done work! I've never seen the air lock constantly moving, bubbling like a mad scientist's laboratory!!!

I only had the capacity to boil at 4 1/2 gallons And my first mash was at 3 gal and then batch sparge with 4. What kind of differences will this have in the brew?

Thanks for the recipe man, really out of mind STOKED about my AG cherry being popped.

 

[MeThirsty]

Schlenkerla,

I just bottled the Red tonight!! I feel so stupid! I bottled the first 8 without priming hahaha!! Man I laugh now but I was pretty upset! The fg was 1.013, and it was a beatiful amber-red color. Tasted AMAZING. This is my ag cherry poppin batch, and I couldn't be more stoked to try the finished beast. Thanks again for sharing your celebration beer!!

how have all of you done with your primary/secondaries? i noticed the original recipe calls for a month in each, just wondering what else works for timing as i'm brewing this in a week or so and don't know if i want to wait 2 months.. i'll be carbing it in my keg so at least that saves a couple weeks

Rules are meant to be broken.

Do 2-3 weeks in the primary and 2 weeks max in the 2ndary. Personally, I think these two shorter durations are pretty good. I don't think the extra time is really make much of a difference.

Let us know how it is in 5 weeks or so.

Well I am going to try making this all grain this weekend, but I messed up at the LHBS. Instead of the Special Roast, I grabbed the Special "B". It will still be beer, but I am thinking it will be darker, and I am not sure what else.

I think you are right. It will be darker, I think it will not have the same roasted taste but it should still be good. I think special b its often used as a sub for chocolate malt. It has a tendency to create raisen/plumb note. Give it a shot.

I am wondering if somebody else did this and posted their results. I think so, not sure if it was an AGr extract brewer.

Edit:

Ok - I checked the grains section for you in brewing for dummies. The special roast contributes a biscuit flavor, whereas the special b contributes a caramel chocolate-nutty flavor.

A friend and I did two 10 gallon batches of this for a St. Paddys Day party and was served 3 and 4 weeks from brewing. Both tasted fine. Only one gallon was left from the 15 gallons kegged. Dennys Favorite 50 was used.

 

[spyder2723]

Well my first all grain with this recipe went great. I hit all the numbers, mash temp, pre-boil gravity, post boil gravity, and total volume. So now to wait a while and see how it tastes. Thanks a lot for the recipe!

P.S. oh yeah I did the low hops version.

 

[mantooth]

I made this beer on July 15 and bottled on August 1. Just tried one today. Very good! I made the batch for a friend who has graduated from Massage Therapy school and is having a party this weekend. She likes Irish Reds, so I volunteered to supply her with beer this weekend. I used the less hopped all-grain version and am very pleased. Thanks for the recipe.

 

[krenshaw]

i have a week in the primary for this so far.. i think i'm going to primary it for a total of a month, then do the slow 10-12 psi method in the keg for a week as well.. just started to keg so that'll be my first full batch this way, hopefully it'll all work out and i can mimic the great pics i've seen so far..

I think I'm going to try this one next, although I may go with Fuggles instead of the Willamette hops.

Also, since I can't find Caramel Pils around here, what do you think about subbing Caravienne for the Caramel Pils and dialing back to a pale chocolate malt to keep from going too dark? I want to make sure the beer still turns out nice and red. It wouldn't do to show up at an Oklahoma tailgate with 5 dozen bottles of orange beer.

 

[passedpawn]

This is a fine beer. I made it in the spring. Add some roasted barley (3 oz) to get the red. I also added an ounce of peat smoked malt to add a bit of earthiness to it. It has been a favorite of my visitors this summer. Thanks for the recipe.

The sub for caramel pils is carapils and crystal 10L. 50% of each to make a crystal 5L. You can get this from Northern Brewer too.

Glad you like it, this is on my next to do list.

That explains it - I actually hadn't checked Northern Brewer. If I can't find something local I tend to check Austin Homebrew, because it's about the shortest shipping distance I can find for that big a selection.

this recipe calls for Caramel Pils Malt Belgium, if I can find domestic Caramel Pils Malt is it just find? Is the only difference where it came from?

I used my domestic (Breiss?) carapils. Diff? Don't know, but it tasted like "more please".

 

[pola0502ds]

More please as in more flavor?

No, more beer please!

No it doesn't matter. Use what you can get your hands on for brewing.

Just bottled today! 3 weeks in the fermenter, nailed the FG of 1.012, and it's a GREAT red color. Smells delicious, too. We'll see how it comes out in 3 or 4 weeks.

 

[TromboneGuy]

Just ran a second batch of this - subbed in Maris Otter for the base malt and stuck with the Fuggles in place of the Willamette. This batch is for an end-of-November tailgate party, although I may just give them the first batch, since this one came out right at an OG of 1.049 and I had six full gallons worth into the fermenter. We'll have to see which one I like better and give the tailgaters the #2 batch.

 

[MMachi]

Successful first ever brew day for me. Started AG with support from a friend. 5 gallons in the fermentor aiming for a great brew for family Thanksgiving. Efficiency was near 90% so OG came in around 1.057 with a deep red color. Can't wait to taste this!

 

[Apendecto]

I took your recipe to our homebrew club and we all made it using the same bulk ingredients. I switched out the yeast for Nottingham for price and convince.

There were about 12 different batches and many of them were totally different. One extract brewer hardly stirred and it looked like a porter. My batch (and a few others) fermented too high and it tasted Belgium-y. Some were amazing. It was a cool project and thanks for the recipe.
