This is the recipe for what was supposed to be an Irish red - the LHBS store owner steered me away from roasted barley, toward chocolate malt for some reason. The resultant beer was nothing like an Irish red, more like a brown ale; maybe even a dark mild.
Grain bill was :
5.5 lbs Crisp Maris
1 lbs Crystal 60
.25 Chocolate
Hop schedule is :
.75 oz Fuggles @ 60
.75 oz EKG @ 30
.75 tsp Irish Moss @ 15
I've since learned that Crystal 60 is not fermentable, so a pound is unnecessary. If anyone has any suggestions to improve the recipe which doesn't involve invert sugars (beyond my capabilities currently), input would be appreciated.
Thank you.
