Beer Style: Irish Red Ale (9D)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
This is very lightly hopped; it was contrived to match my wife's tastes (she does not like bitter or hoppy beers). Fermentation time will be about one week; bottle aging time minimum of one month. I've got some left over from last August which I intend to check out this weekend.
Ingredients:
- 6 lb amber syrup (I use Stome Brewery)
- 1 lb crystal malt
- 2 oz roasted barley
- 1 1/2 - 2 oz Cascade hops for bittering (depending on taste)
- 1/4 oz Cascade hops for flavor
- 1/4 oz Cascade hops for aroma
- 115 g dry ale yeast
Procedure:
Steep the speciality malts in 1 1/2 gal water, remove grains, add syrup to liquor, and boil 60 minutes with bittering hops Add flavor hops 10 min before end of boil, add aroma hops end of boil and steep for 5 min Add 3 1/2 gal cold water and pitch at suitable temperature.
