Chaps,

My Irish Red Ale recipe is attached so you can gain an understanding how much I used of everything to get that colour etc. The Red X Malt really doesn't have much flavour to it - just gives colour. So you can use this well with other more flavoursome Malts.

I really made this for my Father-in-law, who is old world and likes the English yeast ales. But I've come to quite like this brew and you can have a couple at 4.6% and still function.

Next time I do this I might also use Nottingham yeast in stead of English (S-04).

I bottled the current brew back on 9 July and it's just starting to taste nice now. Everything is just mellowed out nicely and the carbonation and head retention is excellent.

Cheers,

Pete
