In accordance with my New Year's resolutions, I'm brewing more beer. Today was an Irish Red Ale, partial grain. I was going to brew yesterday and spend Valentine's Day with my true love, home brew, but after a little mistake I messed up the first step. So I had to go get more grains. Attempt number two went much better.
With this being the second brew at the new house I did learn a little something. The range here is electric and has the instant hot burners. Both times my grain bag melted to the bottom and scorched the pot. Pulling the bag up caused it to tear leaving a mess and extra clean up. So now I definitely need to get the turkey fryer for outside brewing to hopefully avoid this in the future.
Here's the recipe:
3.3 lbs Gold Liquid Malt Extract
1lb M&F Light Dry Malt
2lbs Lager Grain M&F (cracked)
1lb Cara Pils Grain (cracked)
1lb British Crystal Grain (cracked)
2oz Fuggles Hops
1oz Fuggles Hops
1 pkg Wyeast Liquid Yeast- Irish Ale
Brew: 2/15
OG: 1.042@72 degrees
Rack:
Bottle: 3/7
FG: 1.008@66 degrees
ABV: 4.7
