St Peters Ruby Red Ale - Kit Or Extract Ideas

[GrumpyPaul]

Hi all

Working my way thorugh the 10 mixed beers I got for fathers day and really enjoyed a St Peters Ruby Red ale.

Any suggestion on how a kit or extract brewer could make something like it.

I am confident with using spec grains and hops with kits or cans of extract. I dont have the gear or the skill to move up to all grain.

I would love to hear how I might recreate something similar??? What hop is used in the St Peters???

Thanks in advacne for your help

Hi BoroniaNewBrewer,

St Peter's has a Ruby Red Ale kit. I watched Craig of Craigtube fame brewed it on youtube. You might want to see if you can get your hands on that. Happy hunting.

Cheers

Hi BoroniaNewBrewer,

I have seen the mentioned kits in my lhbs but the price has been around the $50, so figured you could get a FWK for that and i believe Craftbrewer do one, and so does the St Petersberg Brewery.

I might suggest converting some ones red ale AG recipe to Extract with speicallity grain article to read if you have not already done so, http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...;showarticle=97. For example you could use Fourstars red ale recipe (link- http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...amp;recipe=1124 ) replace the 4.5kg ale malt with 3kg malt extract, use the hop schedual and speciality grain profile, as a starting point. I have read that the St Peters Ruby red ale does use some cascade in the hop schedual aswell.

Good Luck.

Jan
