St Paty's Day...

[derwood]

With just under 3 months to go before the date rolls around, what is everyone planning to brew for this holiday? Green beer seems a must, but what kind? I'm leaning towards an Irish red and a stout.

Anyone have recommendations for a few AG 5 gal recipes?

We have a St. Patty's Day party every year so this is my number one priority after New Year's. I'm planning a Dry Irish Stout and an Irish Red; final recipes and brew schedule to be determined in the next few weeks. I typically pull something special out of the cellar for the inner circle too, not sure what it's going to be this year.

Not sure what to tell you on the recipe front. I know there are tons of stout recipes in the database and I think Pumbaa has a nice Irish Red recipe in there too.

Same here. Seriously, word for word...

Green beer?!?! I know it is a way to get the college kids into the clubs on St pats, but not in my brewery.

I should have Stout and a pub ale on tap by then.

I think I wil give OFlan's stout a try for st patty's this year....he seems like a good enough mick and it's gotten good reviews

I'll probably have a dry or oatmeal stout ready by then. Whatever it is, it won't be green. It'll be well conditioned.

A friend of mine found out that I homebrew and now he wants to try it with me to make something for St Patrick's Day. He drinks the normal miller lite/coors lite stuff so I'm thinking of making an american pale ale or something "accessible" for us to brew together to get him into this more. I found a budweiser clone that uses an ale yeast on the BYO website that I might try.

You know, I hear all the talk about Guinness and other dry stouts, and I even encourage some of it. However, if you ever served Guinness to a BMC drinker, and you served it in a can so that they couldn't see how dark it was, and they didn't know what brand they were drinking, they would probably go for it like a four year old to a barrel of Jolly Ranchers.

Go crazy and get him to try a dry stout. They are cheap to make, they are easy to make, and your friend will even feel like he jumped in with both feet. Hell, he might even grow a little hair on his chest. At the very least, y'all can strut around half-tight and speaking in a bad Irish brogue.
