Hooligan Irish Red Ale recipe



.
Batch size: 6 gallons
Efficiency:  75%
OG:   1.052
IBU: 25
SRM:  13.5

10 lb Marris Otter
8 oz Crystal 40
8 oz Crystal 120
2 oz Roasted Barley

.65 oz Challenger - 60 min
.50 oz EKG - 15 min
.50 oz EKG - 0 min

Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast

Mash at 154F for 60 min
Ferment in the mid-low 60's. 

Extract Option:
Substitute 10lbs Marris Otter with 7.00 lbs Light Dry Extract


One thing I've noticed with this yeast is that it produces fruity esters at temperatures in the mid 60's where I thought it may produce a cleaner beer.  Next time I brew this I may try to ferment really low around 60-62 or perhaps try an English strain.  Either way, this is a great beer that satisfies all people of the beer drinking spectrum.



 

Very similar to mine.  I think I just cut the 120 and added a little special roast and used a 1056.

 

Ya know I've thought about cutting back on the crystal and adding something like toasted malt or melanoiden.  I'm starting to experiment with new yeasts in recipes I've brewed a handful of times.  Maybe 1056 isn't a bad idea; I've also thought about using the 1728 scottish ale yeast.

 

I wash wondering what this would be like with WLP006 the bedford strain. S omething to keep in mind when the 006 is available again in the early spring.
