Thanks for the recipe, turned out great!
Bottled the beer this weekend. Tasted awesome, but it was more brown than red. Look forward to trying it in a few weeks!
Its been fermenting 14 days primary and three days secondary and my gravity is 1.03. And has been for three days I'm getting worried I might have a stuck fermentation. I stired the bottom last night and shook up the fermented to get things started. I hope that works.
Im interested in brewing this. How does is taste compared to commercial Killians?
This recipe was my best brew. Here are my pics. Dont laugh at my ghetto carbonation setup
has anyone tried a different hop than crystal for the first wort hop?
I know it changes the recipe but I don't have crystal hops. I was thinking of substituting willamette or ek goldings.

Ok, over the last few nights, I have read all the posts in this thread. This will be my first all-grain brew, and I will be doing BIAB. I can't wait to see how this turns out, thank you for the recipe and the confidence of trying my first all grain! I will post pictures when I have them.
I have a question to all who have purchased this recipe from Brewmaster's Warehouse, do they offer the option to mill your grains for you? I don't have a mill at home, and it would be nice if that was done for me already. I know that other online retailers I have purchased from will mill the grains for you ahead of time (i.e. Austin Homebrew, and others).
Just put in the ingredients into their "Brew-Builder" and holy crap, it it a lot cheaper than buying an extract kit! I'm liking this all-grain thing already!
Curious about the lack of roasted grain. Do you still find that the aroma and flavor are still in style?? I know bjcp mentions roasted a couple times and irish reds have that roasted finish...
I only ask because thinking of brewing this up for st pats enjoyment as well as turn some in to competition..
also mystic the link for your scoresheet seems like it is down, what was the feedback from the judges?
looks like a great brew
So I went shopping for my grain bill to make this yesterday and a few things happened. They didn't have Caraaroma...bummer. So I grabbed some Caramunich to sub for it
crystal 120 (or 130) is a close substitute for caraaroma. Not sure how the black barley is going to change the flavor profile as I've never used it. The recipe you have is going to be completely different from what mine is but I'm sure it'll still turn out to be a great beer.
Ready to brew... Got lucky that my lhbs had caraaroma !
I've read people being happy with this one relatively quickly grain to glass. However I'm wondering how it ages... Does it improve with some extra time?
Ordered the AG kit from brewmasters warehouse, going to be my first BIAB! Sounds like a great beer
I've done a bunch of Extract Brews but I finally made the transition to All grain. My first extract was an Irish Red so I figured it would make sense that first All Grain was an Irish Red. For my first attempt i'm hoping/thinking this is going to turn out well. ..We'll see in amount a month and a half !
Question for you Mystic, this being my first AG (BIAB) I've never worried about my water. With my past extract batches I've used Poland Spring gallon jugs of water. Is there anything I'd need to do to treat it? If so, did you go for a specific water profile?
