Filling the Keezer 2/3

Keg #2

For our second beer in the keezer we kept up with the Irish theme and bought a Partial Mash Irish Red kit. A famous Irish red is Smithwicks which this beer is suppose to be a clone of. A side by side comparion shows our beer is nothing like Smithwicks, but we're okay with that. Our beer turned out to be more hoppy and drier. The color is a bit off too and since our beer is on CO2 instead of beer gas that will create some more differences.

Beer Stats:

Original Gravity: 1.053
Final Gravity: 1.013
ABV: 5.24
We used East Kent Golding and Fuggles for hops and a bunch of different malts. If any homebrewers want the recipe just ask.

Now for the beer pictures!




Really hard to tell with the poor lighting but it had red hues. This beer turned out pretty cloudy unfortunately.

This Picture shows the lacing we had with the beer. I am writing this as the sun is setting on the western part of the apartment building (our side) so again the lighting sucked. If you are unsure of what lacing is it is the rings you get around your glass from the head of your beer. Essentially if can show your a timeline of your beer. Larger spacings between the rings shows a larger drink small spacing show sips. Side note: The picture makes this beer look creamy I assure you it is the camera quality.

Cheers!
