Just got 5 of Irish Red into the fermentor. I still have to clean up, but I think it's going to be a half-assed cleanup and finish tomorrow. Should be about six hours by the time I'm done - not too bad considering I had to skip a lot of the mid-boil cleanup I usually do because I was transferring other beers to secondary and keg plus cleaning the fermentor that the Red had to land in.I'm a tad bit irritated by the Red, though. I used JZ's recipe again and it turned out quite a bit darker than I think a Red should be. Promash said it was 19 SRM, and it looked it. Smells a bit too roasty, too. Oh well, I'm sure it will drink well anyway.

Roasty? I'm not sure about JZ's recipe, I prefer CaraRed or CaraMunich 60 or 80 vs a Roast character malt. Glad your in the fermenter. Ive left stuff to clean the next day myself....

I brewed a RyePA after work yesterday too. Got a head start on a long mash at lunchtime though. Headed out the door this morning and realized I never cleaned the kettle..........

JZs recipes are geared towards winning comps and because of that I think they are geared towards the upper end of every category. In a flight of a style, his recipes are meant to stand out and win the comp. -Just Rambling...
