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

Notes: Aiming for, I guess, an APA. I want a lower ABV than an IPA (<6%) and decent, but not insane, bitterness around 40 IBU.
50% of batch will be modified with a mix of UK crystal, dash of chocolate, to make a red APA.
The non-red APA will get large DH, the RAPA will be stay as is.
Both going to be fermented with US05. |

Notes: My efficiency was extremely high on this one with OG = 1.060 so ABV will hinge on that. I use BIAB and dunk bag in 2 gallons of 170F water for a ghetto sparge then add the liquid from tun and top to 6.5gal boil.
Simcoe bittering and Cascade late addition/dry hop combo was spot on. Tasted like a mock IPA without the lingering bitterness. My wife loved this beer and I think she drank more than me!
Great 3-week beer start to finish (kegged). |
