Notes: Smithwicks is an ale with a carbonation level of 2.4 volumes.
Requires CO2 @ 12 PSIG @ 38F or @ 25 PSIG @ 66F.

AROMA
Low to moderate malt aroma, generally caramel-like but occasionally toasty or toffee-like in nature. May have a light buttery character (although this is not required). Hop aroma is low to none (usually not present). Quite clean.

APPEARANCE
Amber to deep reddish copper color (most examples have a deep reddish hue). Clear. Low off-white to tan colored head.

FLAVOR
Moderate caramel malt flavor and sweetness, occasionally with a buttered toast or toffee-like quality. Finishes with a light taste of roasted grain, which lends a characteristic dryness to the finish. Generally no flavor hops, although some examples may have a light English hop flavor. Medium-low hop bitterness, although light use of roasted grains may increase the perception of bitterness to the medium range. Medium-dry to dry finish. Clean and smooth (lager versions can be very smooth). No esters.

MOUTH FEEL
Medium-light to medium body, although examples containing low levels of diacetyl may have a slightly slick mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation. Smooth. Moderately attenuated (more so than Scottish ales). May have a slight alcohol warmth in stronger versions.

IMPRESSION
An easy-drinking pint. Malt-focused with an initial sweetness and a roasted dryness in the finish.

INGREDIENTS
May contain some adjuncts (corn, rice, or sugar), although excessive adjunct use will harm the character of the beer. Generally has a bit of roasted barley to provide reddish color and dry roasted finish. UK/Irish malts, hops, yeast.

EXAMPLES
Three Floyds Brian Boru Old Irish Ale, Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale (a bit strong at 6.5%), Kilkenny Irish Beer, O'Hara's Irish Red Ale, Smithwick's Irish Ale, Beamish Red Ale, Caffrey's Irish Ale, Goose Island Kilgubbin Red Ale, Murphy's Irish Red (lager), Boulevard Irish Ale, Harpoon Hibernian Ale

Notes: Mash 90mins @156F. Overnight Mash could help to extract all the fermentables. Add Non fermentable grain for top mash last 20 mins.

Can use Goldings or Fuggle Hops

Yeast - (pitch 2 packets due to high gravity and use nutrient)
Mangrove Jack M15 Empire Ale is ideal for a dry yeast
S-04 would be a good backup to use.

General Fermentation guide unless yeast specifies otherwise:
Primary ferment 50-60F (10-16c) for 3 weeks
6-12 weeks of cold conditioning 35-45F (2-7c)
Check Alcohol Tolerance of yeast used
Pressure ferment to lower esters and phenols

Note: Do not add smoked malt. There are a lot of references to smoke flavor - even found this is a brewing book. Any Peet or Hard wood smoked malt will kill this style beer. The smoked flavor you sometimes get is from the roasted barley and from a method sometimes used where you do a long boil (say 3 hours) and it causes the wort to have some caramelization.

This Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA Clone is created with a single infusion mash at 150°F (66°C) for 60 minutes.

Boil for 90 minutes. Combine all of your kettle hops into one bowl, weigh out 0.2 ounces (5.6 grams) of the hop mixture and add to the boil every five minutes for the duration of the boil.

Ferment at 72°F (22°C) until gravity reaches terminal. Rack into secondary and add dry hops for at least one week. Package and serve.

Notes: 5 gallons of this was made as listed. 1.053 SG

The other 5 gallons, I added a pound of sugar, and the late addition Simcoe hops (4oz) and dry hops (2 x 1.2oz). The goal was to make it a hoppier higher ABV companion beer. Used S05 yeast (3rd gen)
