Notes

Scaled up recipe from Brewers Friend (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/726827/irish-red-smithwicks-)
Initial changes:

reduced roasted barley 0.75 to 0.50 (for color)
changed from maris otter to golden promise
Dec 2, 2020:
scaled from 75% to 70% brewhouse efficiency
Jan 2021
restored to Maris Otter
reduced roasted barley, swapped rest for brown malt to reduce roast flavor and color
use only UK malt.
80% brewhouse efficiency compared to 68% last time. Only conscious changes were switch to Maris Otter and double-crushing.
Tasting notes: Color good; minimal hop aroma as expected, however, still a touch too sweet...maybe reduce the crystal?
