AHS Irish Red Ale [01938]
$40.49 View below for options

This Irish-American ale is a smooth flavorful red, similar in style to Killarney's Irish Red. It features Cara-Munich and Crystal 120L grains. O.G. = 1.052. Approximately 5% ABV.

Extract kit includes: priming sugar, milled specialty grains in a muslin bag, hops, and detailed instructions. Mini-Mash kits do not come with grain bags. We recommend a Reusable Nylon Grain Bag. Mini-mash involves additional time for steeping. All grain brewing requires additional equipment and different brewing techniques.

Fermentable Sugars:
Extract: 7 lbs. Liquid Malt Extract, .5 lbs. Base Grains, 1 lb. Specialty Grains.
Mini Mash: 5 lbs. Liquid Malt Extract, 2.5 lbs. Base Grains, 1 lb. Specialty Grains.
All Grain: 9.25 lbs. Base Grains, 1 lb. Specialty Grains.

Makes 5 US gallons.
