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: Beer has heavy vanilla aroma, due to the bourbon and vanilla. Slight smokeyness from the bourbon chips with a full body. Well balanced and well received from my friends.

Notes: I wanted to make a honey beer where you could actually taste the honey. Usually it's covered up with malt, hops, or other ingredients. This is just pilsner malt, 20% honey, a bit of hops, and lager yeast.

Expecting to age this a couple of months.

Although I put it in the BGS category, it is not that at all; I just wanted a framework. This would go under experimental (34C) or alternative sugar (31B).

Notes: Brewed for Mara on her birthday. Using new 10 gallon kettle + 1500W heat stick. Adjusted calculated mash/sparge volumes down - 18 qts instead of 19.3 for sparge.

Double milled 8 out of 15 lbs grain.

Preboil 13.3 brix - 1.052. 16.3 brix OG. Pitched at 70 f. Finished 6.7 brix, 1.009

Great IPA, needs 3 weeks to arrive at perfection. Also needs adequate carbonation...
