#257724 - 02/20/12 02:23 PM Hoppy Red Ale
gouacats Active Member Registered: 02/17/12 Posts: 42 Loc: Tucson, AZ	Background: Newbie! My first batch of WCPA is currently fermenting and I ordered the ADIPA for my next brew. I would like to try a brew similar to Odell Red Ale or Lumberyard Red. They are both 50 IBU and 6.5% and 5.8% ABV respectively. I'm thinking that 1 ADIPA HME and 2 cans of Bewitched Red HME would put me in the correct range at 6.9% ABV and 53 IBU. Does this sound about right? Anything different/special I would need to do when brewing (different yeast, 2 yeast packets, etc.)? Thanks! _________________________ #5 - MB German Hefeweizen - Fermenting #4 - Englishman's Nut Brown - Conditioning #3 - Wicked Monk - Conditioning #2 - American Devil IPA - Gone #1 - West Coast PA - Gone

psuchunk03 That's what she said... Brewmeister Registered: 01/01/10 Posts: 7002 Loc: St. Louis, MO	go for it! i've never had the ADIP or Bewitch Red before, but it sounds like it should be a good beer... if you have a local homebrew shop (LHBS) nearby, head over there and pick up an 11.5 gram packet of US-05 dry yeast... it's an american ale yeast, with a very clean profile. if not, use as many of those MrB yeast packets you have (up to 5 or 6). a good pitch of yeast is imperative to a good beer. have you looked into rehydrating your yeast? http://www.mrbeerfans.com/ubbthreads/ubb...html#Post229126 _________________________ "Only a fool learns from his mistakes; a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." - Otto von Bismarck Fermenting: #25 Mr. Beer Beta Test Bavarian Weissbier Carbing / Conditioning: #24 Keep Calm and Brew On E.S.B. #21 Colonial Ale Drinking: Pipeline is empty On Deck (...eventually): Hefeweizen, Scottish Ale, Kenny's Fat Tire clone "It Has Big Taste"

gouacats Active Member Registered: 02/17/12 Posts: 42 Loc: Tucson, AZ	Is there a link you all can point me to for what yeast is best for what brews? I'll pick up some US-05 when I get ready for this brew! _________________________ #5 - MB German Hefeweizen - Fermenting #4 - Englishman's Nut Brown - Conditioning #3 - Wicked Monk - Conditioning #2 - American Devil IPA - Gone #1 - West Coast PA - Gone
