I may try more malt, or mixing malts, and I may adjust the hops a bit to refine the bitterness, but that's a good start.

I think this time I'm going to start with the basic RedHead recipe and try adding some fresh malt to give it better color and refine the flavor a bit more.

  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) light liquid malt extract
  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) amber liquid malt extract
  • 1/2 lbs Cara Red malt
  • 2 oz black patent malt
  • 1 tube White Labs Dry English Ale yeast
  • 1 oz fuggle hops pellets
  • 1 oz soverign hops pellets
  • 1 tsp irish moss
  • 1 cup of priming sugar

Brought ~1 gallon of water to 160F, removed from heat, added grains and soaked for 45 minutes. Brought ~2 gallons of water to a boil, removed from heat, added LME and wort from the soaked grains. Returned to heat, brought to 180F, added soverign hops and started a 1 hour timer. At 30 minutes, added the irish moss. At 15 minutes remaining added the fuggle hops pellets. Cooled in a sink of water to ~100F. Poured into primary and added cold water to bring volume up to 5 gallons. Pitched at 82F. -Morrigu 16:14, 19 June 2010 (EST)
