Hey Guys,
I am making an irish red ale,sort of,and what I have is;
42 Litres BIAB No Chill
BB Pale Ale 8.500 Kg
Caraaroma .400 Kg
Carared .400 Kg
Munich 1 .250 Kg
Roast Barley .020 Kg

Magnum 25 g @ 60
Amarillo 25 g @ 20
Amarillo 25 g @ 10

Mash 60 @ 65 and boil 60
Ferment @ 18 with us-05

This gives me an IBU of 40.7 using Brewmate.Seems a bit much for me but a few ideas would be appreciated.
May also dry hop with mosaic or galaxy if I fgind any handy.
Thanks for looking.

Gday, I did a brew day with a mate & we did a better red than dead (in recipe database) & it came out awesome.

Pretty sure he didn't dry hop though. I'd probably avoid dry hopping with those actual hops for an Irish (sort of) red. I'm gunshy dry hopping with Galaxy anyway as mine came out quite grassy. I'd recommend going for EKG or something along those lines - if you were desperate to dry hop.

Good luck

This is my Irish red recipe, tailored to my taste buds. Turned out quite nice. I need to make it again actually.

4.5kg Marris Otter
250g Carared
150g Amber
50g Special B
50g Pale Chocolate

Mash @ 65 for 60min
Mashout @ 80-85. This was a cock up when trying to raise the temp to 72 - thermometer malfunction.
Sparge @ 80 degrees for 10 mins.

60min boil
30g Styrian Goldings @ 45

Whirlfloc @ 12

OG: 1049
FG: 1013
IBU: 18
Wyeast 1084 - Irish Ale

I dunno about amarillo for the hops there.. I'd stick with the UK hops - goldings and fuggles. Amarillo is more for paler beers. Why not put a touch of crystal in there? magnum might be alright for bittering, but yeh i'd prob aroma that with goldings.

I agree, Amarillo shouldn't be involved.
