O'Shannon's Irish Ale II

First attempt at Irish Ale w/chocolate rye took 10 months to mature properly. This time, cut back on the chocolate rye portion, use different bittering hop and mash at a higher temp.

Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 9 lbs Maris Otter; Crisp

    Maris Otter; Crisp

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

  • 1 lbs Carastan® Malt; Bairds Malt

    Carastan® Malt; Bairds Malt

    A British pale, brown-colored, crystal malt with a caramel/toffee flavor and hints of toasted bread.

  • .125 lbs Amber; Crisp

    Amber; Crisp

    Unlike Crystal or Caramalt, the starting material for Amber Malt is a kilned Pale Ale malt. Amber Malt is typically used as a small proportion of the grist (0.5%) in the preparation of beers requiring some substantial depth of color.

  • .0625 lbs Chocolate Rye Malt; Weyermann®

    Chocolate Rye Malt; Weyermann®

    German-grown top-quality rye (2004 harvest). Product Characteristics: Carefully and evenly roasted rye malt. Enhances deep opacity, aroma, and creaminess of dark ales. Recommended Quantities: Up to 5% of total grain bill Suitability (beer styles): Dark ales

  • .0625 lbs Roast Barley; Crisp

    Roast Barley; Crisp

    Sweet, grainy, coffee flavor and a red to deep brown color. For porters and stouts.

  • 1 lbs Barley (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Barley (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Barley Flakes have been produced specifically for brewing, developing characteristics necessary for easy and efficient use in a brewhouse. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. • Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. • There is no need to mill Barley Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Use Barley Flakes as an adjunct in all-grain brews to produce a lighter colored finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Use in place of corn as an adjunct to eliminate corn flavor in the finished beer. • Use at 10-25% of total grist to produce a light colored, mild flavored, dry beer.
