Just looking for some input on my latest recipe that I am hoping to brew up for St. Patty's Day. SWMBO is of Irish/Scottish lineage and I figured I would do this one up for her.
Let me know what you think. My main concerns are type of yeast and if I am using enough CaraPils for head retention...
Mcnelis' Irish Red
Size: 5.2 Gallons
Est. OG: 1.055
Est. FG: 1.014
Est. IBU: 22.4
SRM: 13
Boil Time: 60 min.
Efficiency: 70%
Ingredients:
9.5# Maris Otter 79%
1# Caramunich 8%
1# Melanoiden Malt 8%
0.5# CaraPils 4%
----
1 oz. Willamette (5.5%AA) @ 45min
1 oz. Willamette (5.5%AA) @ 5min
----
1 pkg. Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast
Any feedback would be nice, especially in terms of the yeast and use of carapils.
Thanks!
