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: Mash grains with 0.5g amylase powder.
Boil coriander seeds and orange peel in addition to hops. Maybe add a very small amount of ginger.
Prepare wort without honey, fill up to 9.5L and pitch yeast. Fermentation should be over in a few days. Rack to secondary and mix the honey in with a little water.
Prime with 100-105g honey and let bottle condition.

Notes: Thursday 22nd October 2015 - 1.6L starter of WY1318

Saturday 24th October 2015 - 0.5L of starter removed for future use. Starter added to the fridge to settle overnight.

17.5L at 1.055

Monday 2nd November (Day 9) - Kegged in CO2 flushed DH filter keg with dry hops 183g DH (>10g/L).

CO2 transferred using new set up. Worked terribly with CO2 leaking out of the carboy cap and the transfer taking a very long time...

FG=1.014. 5.4% ABV. pH = 4.18.

Tuesday 3rd November 2015 - Rolled the keg to agitate the hops. Leaking from liquid post. Bubbled CO2 through liquid out to keep pressure and further agitate hops.

Wed 4th November - Started cold crash of dry hop keg.

Notes: The grain bill is too big for starting at 5 gallons. Try starting with 6 gallons and sparge to 6.5 gallons. Buy PB2 on Amazon. Bottle is 16oz... maybe just use the whole thing instead of measuring 13?

Put the PB2 and Cocoa at the bottom of the secondary and siphon on top of it.
