Notes

An Irish Red. Based on my family history, hailing from an Irish immigrant mother who landed in the states in mid-twentieth century.

While the family is not known for making a commercial ale the recipe its self is true to spirit from the period of the late late 1700's.

This will have a very easy smooth taste, very balanced. Not too sweet not too bitter.

I would suggest a 10 day fermentation period followed by a 2 week secondary. I bottle mine so I can share with everyone so I use 3/4 cup of table sugar boiled in 1 1/2 cup filtered water. I put that in the bottom of the bottling bucket so it gets evenly distributed in the wort with out adding in extra oxygen.

Bottoms up and enjoy.

Pete
