Irish Red Ale Recipe

Posted By Chris O'Neill on May 30, 2009

I will be bottling my latest batch of beer soon, an Irish Red Ale. This is my second time making this recipe and it’s at the top of my (and many friends’) list for being a favorite beer. I wrote a commentary on the previous batch a while ago.

Here is the all grain recipe:
11 lbs 2-row pale malt
1 lb barley flakes
0.35 lbs crystal malt
0.25 lbs wheat flakes
0.05 lbs roast barley
1.3 oz amarillo whole hops
0.45 oz cascade whole hops
0.45 hallertau whole hops
Nottingham yeast

This is a standard all grain recipe method that uses both boil and finishing hops. Use 75% of the hops through the entire boil and throw in the remaining 25% of the hops 5 minutes before the end of the boil.
