Description

Our Irish Red Ale recipe is similar to a big Amber Ale, but is so unusual it does not really fit within any category. This red ale contains Aromatic malt to provide malty flavor and aroma. Features dark Crystal malts, including Special B, and a pinch of Roasted Barley for a deep, red color and a very distinctive caramel flavor. Our Irish Red Ale is one of our most popular ingredient kits about which we receive a lot of positive feedback from satisfied customers. If you're going to be venturing into new realms of taste discovery, this is a winning ticket we can solidly recommend!


Estimated Original Gravity:1.046-50
SRM: 22
IBU's: 42-46
Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 4.5%
 

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
 
Please Note: In order to better serve our customers, we are now offering our extract recipe kits with either Liquid Malt Extract (LME) or Dried Malt Extract (DME). The majority of our DME kits were converted from the LME version, which is why you may notice slight variances in the extract names and quantities on your recipe sheet. You may also find that your Specific Gravity and ABV% are slightly higher if you choose DME. Whether LME or DME, add all extracts provided according to the recipe sheet. For further details, please reference the conversion chart below.

Spot-on Red
This Irish Red kit turned out great!
Great flavor and color. With a proper label on the bottle you’d never know it was homebrew. I’ll make this again for sure.

Very Good Red Ale
Pitched the yeast a month ago and force carbonated. The beer has very good color and malt flavor. It’s continuing to improve with tim and is a very good Red Ale. It’s earned a spot in the rotation.

One of my favorites!
I have made this kit several times and I believe it will be permanent on one of my taps. A favorite with company that doesn't last very long. I have used several different types of yeast but prefer Nottingham. A big kit with big flavor.

Great beer
I made this beer several times and has always been great. This batch is still brewing but I'm sure it will be great also. I made the extract kit only because I ordered it by mistake instead of the full grain. I've make full grain now but both kits are great!

Relaxing Experience Brewing this batch of Irish Red!
Shipment was received from MoreBeer in 3 days. I brewed that night! 7 days in primary fermenter, then racked to secondary for 7 more days. Fermented at 65F. At bottling, the Irish Red looked clear, with lovely aroma. Currenty maturing at 76F post bottling....can’t wait to start popping caps in 2 more weeks!
