Notes

Trying for a mild Irish Red Ale.

Smithwick's was pretty bland when we tasted it.

I am guessing on color a little lighter due to 350 deg roasted barley and previous experience.

Bumping hops down slightly from Sept 8, 2019 recipe

Alternatively, could use Maris Otter instead of Skagit Pale.
