Brewer's Notes

I used Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale and due to fridge glitch it ran at 22 - 24 degrees and turned out great. Clever yeast.

I like the look of this, I have a bit of caraaroma left that I'm trying to use up asap, I might have to brew this up next!

I've got a week off work coming up in the school holidays, been wondering what to brew - this may be it. I've tried my hand at a red ale a few times and it always comes out dark - how is is the colour on this one Bribie? Bit hard to see in the picture on my low-res laptop screen.

Reddest beer I have ever made.

Red? Red? feck don't say I'm still on that fecking island

I just put one of these into a cube, but typically for me, I bastardized it pretty badly and turned it into a cupboard cleaner. I swapped the semolina for rye h34r: , carared for munich and threw in a bunch of '08 EKG(10m) and styrians(cube) I had lying around, which wasn't enough for a bittering charge, so I changed the bittering to amarillo which I had spare... I'm calling it Red *******

Not sure if I can call it your recipe anymore, maybe in spirit. I hope it turns out red anyway as my last red came out as a brown.

 

[felten]

mission failed, I made another brown beer. It looked good in the mash, and post boil but I guess adding 2L of starter wort didn't help it.

 

[Bribie G]

Well nothing too wrong with a nice brown ale :lol:
I'm onto an IPA / ESB trip at the moment after my visit to Beervana but will get back to the red when I'm over that.
