458 Red

Irish Red Ale • Partial Mash • 5 gal

This is our 3rd batch of beer, 1st attempt at a red. The original gravity was a little low than predicted but still within range for a red(probably from not sparging the grain enough).

Ingredients (Partial Mash5 gal)

  • 3 lbs Maris Otter Pale

    Maris Otter Pale

    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.

Bottled on 3/23 after a total of 2 weeks in primary, and 2 weeks in secondary. Maybe a little overkill, for this style but a little extra aging never hurt anything.
