The second batch from the Barley Legal Brewing Company / Brothers From Different Mothers Brewing Co. We decided to prepare for fall with an Irish Red. After we brewed it I was worried I have once again made a brown ale instead of a red, but it turned out a nice, deep copper colour. Dry tasting and slightly creamy with a nice finish.
Steep for 30 minutes at 150:
11oz Crystal Malt
1.5oz Black Malt
1oz Roasted Barley
2.5oz Pale Malt
Bring to a boil
1.5kg Pale Malt Extract
1kg Amber Malt Extract
1oz East Kent Golding hops (5.7%AA)
Boil for 50 minutes, then add:
1oz East Kent Golding hops (5.7%AA)
1tsp Irish Moss
Fill to 5 gallons in the fermenter. Pitched White Labs WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast.
Due to schedule issues it was racked after a week to the carbuoy, but not bottled for about a month. The ageing didn't seem to cause any problems.
