Keith's Irish Red
Irish Red Ale • Extract • 5.5 gal
Next time I would use one can of Light LME and one can of the Amber LME. It is still fermenting, but it has a nice toasty flavor.

Crystal Malt 10°L
Crystal Malt 10°L
Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Transferred to secondary, very strong coffee flavor, added 1/2 oz Simcoe for dry hopping. Will update in two weeks.

Kegged ¾ of the batch and it was very stout like with strong coffee flavors. I also bottle conditioned 12 22oz and they came out wonderfully smooth; the simcoe added a nice balance to the malt. I Might cut back the toasted malt to 1/4 lb next time.
nice beer

I bottle conditioned half and force carbonated the other half. The bottle conditioned half came out great! Nice and smooth, the force carbonated was more of a stout, very toasty and strong. For a red I would cut back the roasted barley to 4oz.
