OK, so I'm not irish, but it is christmas, and what's more festive than red ale and green hops?
Found the grain bill and inspiration for the hops from a Smithwicks clone. Only 5 more months...
8lbs Marris Otter
.75 Crystal 60
.5 Carapils
.16 Roasted Barley
60 1oz Kent Goldings 5%
20 .5oz Fuggles 4.5%
5 .5oz Fuggles 4.5%
Preheated with 2 gals boiling
3 gals @ 167 for a 154 mash 1 hr 1.3:1 ratio
1.5 gals boiling mashout 15
3 gals @170 sparge
FG 1.045
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale @68
Fermenting happily @64
1/3/10 - Moved to secondary 1.010. Not really red, we will have to see in a pint glass. Curious why fg is so high again. Perhaps the higher mash temps?
