Yep. More often than not they last even longer than that.Your kegs last 3-4 weeks?

Have you brewed it? If brewed to recipe it’s a beautiful red color. I suppose due to lighting, camera, and various glasses shown it may not appear as red as in person, but I assure you this is a beautifully colored beer....and quite delicious as well.So where is the red in these beers. I don't often see it in the pictures. Is there a secret ingredient (malt) that enhances the redness? Or is there no such thing and it's just a name?
I just brewed and red is definitely there but it is deep and more noticeable with light behind it. It’s nice to see it but really, I just like the fact it tastes great.So where is the red in these beers. I don't often see it in the pictures.

Have brewed it with hops other than Crystal and Cascade (as in the OP’s recipe) and if so what did you think?The keg I am drinking now is the same as above. Including the mason jar, lol. Deep ruby red and smooth enough to be dangerous.

Yeah, it's so good as written that I've never felt the need to go off-script. It's a beer I brew at least twice a year.I slammed this recipe with 8oz of cascade as an experiment. It was a fail. Do not repeat.

Any thoughts on using Safale S-04 yeast next time?
More like an Imperial Irish Red Ale. Not that it's a bad thing!!Brewed this again a few weeks ago. I've been messing around with my RIMS setup and blew my OG out of the water so this batch ended up at like 7.7% ABV, but it didn't hurt anything
