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

VITAL
OG:1.044-1.060 FG:1.010-1.014 IBU:17-28 SRM:9.0-18.0 ABV:4.0-6.0%

kettle hops moved to whirlpool/hopstand
bittering hops increased to compensate
check post boil ph aim for 5.1
check post ferment pH - aim for <4.6 (uncarbonated)
- add lactic to bring down

beer came out really dry and really insanely bitter. still drinkable but mor ebitter than any beer ive brewed or tasted. i want to blame the amarillo and an di cant remembe rif i also added el dorado? anyway i think the evergreen is ok, maybe dial down the ibu a little. also this beer i adjusted the water on brew day after mixing up my waters for two diff beers.

next time i think add some crystal malt. if using lutra, mash higher, or otherwise use us05. go with the evergreen base and dry hop with something safe and fruity like citra.

=========================================

did not yet take FG but guessing (high balling) 1009 it is really dry.

the beer is extremely bitter the first couple days. the beer is kegged and carbed a few days ago although even today its still been only 10 days since brew day. its starting to mellow out a little bit but its def on the bitter side. really nice pine though. wondering if i should dry hop in the keg with citra or mosaic to round it out. also wouldnt mind trying it side by side with stone ipa to see how truly bitter it is.

anyway, next time def try the crystal malt and maybe skip or reduce the sugar. its really nice light bright yellow color but too dry. also re-examine your water, either go back to the standard light colored and hoppy profile or maybe try 1:2 chloride to sulfate ratio.

=========================================
11/10/22
i messed up on brew night and used my ideal water i setup for this beer on the porter. so had to make an impromptu water adjustments to the tap to come out with ~1:3 chloride to sulfate ratio plus some calcium and stuff. hopefully it will still come out sharp bitter crisp ....aye smh

also updating recipe - brewed this on igloo/digiboil setup, 1065 OG for 66% efficiency (i think that stop and wait batch sparge really helps) and used 1 pack dried lutra. added high krausen hops at pitch
=========================================
11/5/22
next gen of wcipa. thinking more body, posibly c15. mix of magnum and something else piney for bittering. reworked the water for 1:3 chloride to sulfate (hoppy profile). need to figure out hops though. would like to dry hop with something dank and piney plus something fruity like citra to really have an in your face hoppy west coast...

=========================================

pretty sure FG was 1.002 or 1.004. need to stop prolonged mash and instead mash out after an hour.

this beer was good but came out really dry and thin, watery. it is indeed 7% tho, bitterness is there but prob could be increased. the beer is good on its own and could be rebrewed just like this except with a mashout.

however for attempting to achieve some of the more mindblowing west coast ipas, i think needs a little more bitterness and a bit more dry hop. this batch had 12oz i would like to retry with 16-20 total oz, a little more in the frontend (maybe first wort) or 60 minute and then several more ounces in dry hop.

=========================================
5/26/2022

brew day last night. frustratingly low on efficiency despite 2 hour mash. did full biab style / no sparge with about 9.75 gallons strike water so lower efficiency should be expected but i didnt think that much. need to get a pH meter, possibly my pH is off and i dont know it. i keep adding acid malt to every brew maybe its effing something up. i hit 8 gallons pre boil which usually boils down to 6 in an hour but possibly next time could plan to boil for 90 or 120 mins.

starter i made last week sat in chest freezer for a week and smelled a little suspect. tossed that and just pitched a single pack of us05.

updating recipe to reflect actual brew day stats

was originally targeting
preboil 8 / 1051
postboil 6 / 1068
fermenter 5.5 / 1068
FG 1011
ABV 7.4%
eff 68%

actual
preboil 8 / 1045 (without sugar)
postboil 6.75-7 / 1055
fermenter 6 / 1055
FG 1011
ABV 6.1%
eff 58%

=========================================
5/16/2022
initial recipe creation. pretty straightforward malt bill and hop schedule to highlight these evergreens.

need to figure out ideal water profile. none of my west coasts have come out all that bitter. would like to start with tap water. not sure how much i trust the BF light colored and hoppy anymore....

as of now im going with the BF version its 3:1 cl to so4 which i think is the important part. this requires diluting tap water with half RO.
