Hallow lads n lasses.
Been off Radar but itching to brew again.
A title suggest, for years i just fancied the a dark ale with the 'grain fwd' taste compined with more hops, hope you know what i mean?
Any suggestions specially with hops in the brewing schedule?
As you prob know in my 40 years homebrewing i brew a lot dark beers.
TBH doesnt need a Irish stout, with the usual English hops etc.
I like the look of this:
Hoppy Irish Red Ale (YouTube) by The Beardyman Craft Beer

Pale Ale Finest Maris Otter
Caraamber
Rye Malt
Roasted Barley

Fuggles @ 60 mins
EKG @ 30 mins
Citra DH 5 days.

SafAle English Ale S-04

for all i got Fuggles,EKG & Citra, Fancy not the Fuggles & EKG.
I'll look at my stash o grains and hops.
Anyone brew a belter dark ale? obv ill convert in a recipe maker lata.athumb..
Apart from that....
HAPPY FRIDAY:beer1:acheers.

Sounds nice @Manxnorton

If you want darker ales, yet still hoppy, there's a few recipes in this thread from various forumites and some links to clone recipes of commercial beers.

yeah m8, ive been looking.
Thanks getting back to me pal.
Took ages to look at my grain stash n hops, i forgot how much ive collected. chuffed all in vaccum sealed whatsitchops.
here grains: marris ottter,pilsner,carapils,crystal dark,amber,brown,Vienna,choc,oats,torriefied oats,wheat,acid malt & carrafa 2.
Hops: Ammarillo 6.7,Simcoe 12,magnum 12,saaz 3, spalted select 5.5,Centennial 7.5, Perle 4.2 & Target 10.9.
Obv mysel straight away i get an idea ill form a recipe, SO THIS WILL BE USING LEFT OVERS, straight away i see base malts (maris,Pilsner & Vienna)
Anyhoo!
I'll play on either Beersmith or Brewfather, prob need to up litres to sort out % ABV.
I'm liking Magnum @ 60 mins, Target @ 30 mins & buy the Citra for DH same time buy the S-04 yeast.
