Irish Red Ale - makes approximately 23 liters

Not often thought of when asked what type of beer the Irish drink, this Irish Red Ale style displays a stark white head and red hues with sweet caramel, coffee and biscuit aromas, mouth-filling flavors and a smooth finish. Reduce the total volume to 20 liters if a beer with more bitterness is preferred (increasing the final alcohol content to approximately 4.5% abv).

Super Bowl Holiday

Posted by: Makebeer on 2/1/2012 | 0 Comments

In about 4 of 5 days it will be time to bottle for my first time (I am excited) I think I will run the unused bottles in the dish washer without soap(to remove dust and such) then rinse with a bleach mixture to sanitize, one final rinse with water to get rid of the bleach, then bottle my first batch of beer. I hope my method will give me a good brew. If not please let me know, I am a new to home brew." Read more ›
