I plan to rebrew a Smithwick's clone (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/726827/irish-red-smithwicks-) that turned out really good when I brewed it a couple months back. I will probably tweak one or two things, because I can't just leave well enough alone.
I also like the occasional Smithwicks, can't always get it when I want it thoughLove Smithwick's. When we were in Ireland last year, my wife and all of her relatives were Guinness drinkers, but I stuck with Smithwick's unless there was a good craft brew to be had.
That does look tasty hope it turns red for ya!I plan to rebrew a Smithwick's clone (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/726827/irish-red-smithwicks-) that turned out really good when I brewed it a couple months back.

So just to check back in on this, the Cali Dry yeast did a fantastic job with the Nautical Star. Not sure what the deal was with my other brew... Anyway, turned out great and I'll probably order more in the future.
Having brewed his Vienna Lager I wouldnt hesitate to brew another of his recipes.Not sure what to brew next, I have a Cranberry Chocolate Stout, and a Christmas Ale ready to bottle. Also have a West Coast IPA, and a Hazy to keg next weekend. Maybe it is time to tackle that ESB, thinking that I will go with David Heath's recipe.
Agree, David Heath has some solid recipes for sure.Having brewed his Vienna Lager I wouldnt hesitate to brew another of his recipes.
Good luck, keep us posted. I would love to hear your take on Munich Classic. My one effort with it (in a Dunkelweizen) was rather uninspiring. Fermented well, and the taste was fine with slight banana, but I was left with a peculiar aroma in the finished beer. That could have been attributed to A LOT of factors, but it was an aroma I hadn't ever had prior, or since. I fermented at 68-72° (krausen at 72°) liquid temp.Taking a shot at a Hefewiezen. 10 lbs white Wheat, 1 lb Munich, 1 lb Rice Hulls. Using for the first time Lallemand Munich Classic yeast. Will ferment at 66 - 68F
