Anyone have a really good Irish (red) Ale recipe? I've tried the NB one way back. Looking for something on the lines of Smithwyck's Ale rather than the Killian's type red, which many say is really a lager.
I brewed this last time as an attempt at Smithwyck's. I think the 1469 made it a bit too sweet and fruity for me so I'm thinking of attempting the same recipe but using 1084 this time. Can't remember why I used 1469 unless I just had the slurry on hand...
