Freedom Red Ale















Freedom turned out to be one of Kelly's favorites. She wanted a fun session beer with loads of flavor. I used 91.25% Maris Otter pale malt, 7.25% Caramel 60, and 1.5 % Roasted Barley for the grain bill and East Kent Golding for bittering and Fuggles for flavor. I used WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast, but you could use any good liquid yeast. The beer finished with 4.8% ABV, 26 IBU, and the color is at 17.3 SRM. The Fuggles really came through to give the beer a wonderful aroma. The Maris Otter, Caramel, and the Irish Ale yeast give the beer a nice malty backbone. This beer is nice!!!
