Homebrewing beer. Irish Red Ale is an easy drinking beer, with an up front malty sweetness and a dry finish. Jamil explains why the beer he entered shouldn't have taken first place for this style.
OK, I don't want to sound rude or anything, its a fun show to listen to and it's entertaining.. But, if I may critique a bit...
this show, like many of the other ones, contained an unbelievable amount of absolutely off-topic discussions and very little info on the actual style of Irish Red Ale.. Just a quick recipe that you must really concentrate hard to decipher between all the unrelated chit chat...
I would have liked discussions about:
- Difference between commercial examples, please try to elaborate on the spectrum of style, not give only one very specific recipe and thats it..
- Yeast selection.. Especially regarding the fact that lager versions of the styles are accepted per BJPC standards, which was not mentioned at all in the show.
- And what about water adjustments..?
I think all the styles show could be revisited like you did for ciders, as they all contain very few information.
