First Basic "Red" Brew
Irish Red Ale • Extract • 2.5 gal
My second home brew and first recipe of my own. I wanted to keep it simple and basic and was trying for something like an Irish Red Ale. Brewed 1/2/12, bottled 1/14/12 and recently tasted the first couple of bottles. The C-60 comes through with a "grainy" flavor and a bit of caramel as well. Not overly bitter as I am not a hop head. Next version will be with 3/4 lb of C-40 instead of the C-60 but no other changes to compare the taste differences of the crystal malts.

I measured the OG at 1.052 and the FG at 1.014. The color was a little darker than the calculator suggests, I think due to the wheat LME. I used Alexander's, one Kicker can left over from my first kit recipe. I steeped the grain in 1 gal for 30 mins with temp ranging from 125 to 150, then rinsed with 1/2 gal at 140 degrees.
