I knew I didn't hit all bottles with the carb tabs. From now on it's bottling bucket and priming sugar. The beer itself is pretty good. A dark brown color, with caramel notes and a good malt backbone.

Notes

Recipe Kit Name: Crazy Red Headed Irish Ale
5 Gallon All Grain Recipe

• 9 lbs Maris Otter
• 1 lb Red Wheat
• 0.25 lbs English Roasted Barley

Hops: (Pellet Hops)
• 1 oz Willamette at 60 mins

Directions:
Add 3.75 gallons of water and mash at 154°F for 60 minutes. While mashing, add 4.75 gallons of water to your hot liquor tank and bring to
185 degrees farenheit. Wash grain using either a batch or y sparge, however your system is set up. You should end with around 7.25
gallons of wort in your kettle. Boil for 60 minutes, following listed hop additions, and if using an immersion chiller, don't forget to put it in
your boil with 15 minutes left for sterilization, right after you add your chosen clarier. You should transfer 5.5 gallons of cooled wort into
your fermentor to account for fermentation losses, so don't forget to calculate your system losses and boil o volume into the given
volumes. Ferment for 14 days. Crash chill for 24 hours on day 14, then add 4 oz of Dextrose and bottle, or rack to your keg, force carbonate
and enjoy!
