I'm interested to see how this turns out. I'm looking to brew a red ale in a few weeks.

Man, drop some $$$ and grab a couple packs of 1084.

Ok, so maybe it's an Irish/Amerian Red Honestly I never really got much flavor from 1084 so I just use US-05; but it has been a very long time since i used it. Will it make that big of a difference? It maybe worth trying both on the split batch, thoughts?

No idea on the difference in an Irish Red, as I hate Irish Red, lol. But I'll give it another try in that recipe - lots of specialty malts in there.

I am interested to see the colour of this. I want to get some deep colour into a rye AIPA I am working on. I think I will stick to either US-05 or 1056 and plain domestic 2 row for the base malt.

Kegged and carbed this one this week. I'm loving the taste of it, a little sweetness up front followed by great malt backbone finishing with a hint of roastiness and well balanced hops. The color is more of an amber redish color nothing deep like you're looking for moxie, although I have heard that special b is a great way to get a deep red color as seen here http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtop ... =4&t=72841" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just doughed in on my own version. The grain bill is pretty the same, I just everything cut in 1/2 for a 5 gal batch. I used chocolate malt in place of the pale chocolate and Caramel pills in place of the Caramel/Crystal Malt. Maybe I should of just used crystal 40L there. I didn't have the water additives either. We will see what happens.

I don't have any goldings hops so I'm to use what I have, the hall tradition and bram cross. I like malty beers so I'm going to drop the IBU's back alittle.

So many things to do before the boil. I better get back to it.

Hope you have a good session, maybe we can compare when your's is ready...that's if mine lasts that long

I'm going to try out this recipe this weekend. However I don't have any maris otter, just plain american 2-row. I was reading that they differ in that the MO is "very malty and tasty, similar to using lightly toasted 2-row plus some biscuit malt." I have some biscuit malt kicking around, think if I add a small percentage of that it will come out similar? Any other suggestions?

If you just use the 2 row in place of the MO you'll be fine. I've done this before. There are plenty of other malts in there that will give a great malty taste.

Ok, Here's what I'm gonna try this weekend. It's almost the exact same, so hopefully it'll be delicious! I've only got a few pounds of extract left so I figured I'd use it up for this brew and I'm only doing a 5 gallon batch. I also dropped the IBUs a bit for the wifey, she loves a malty red ale (but still appreciates a hoppy IPA). We'll see hoe it goes. This'll be brew 1 of hopefully 3 this weekend.
