Rizzo Red Brew Session

Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

10/20/17 Brew Day. All went well, I did this and the Brown (Bailey Brown Ale) at the same time. I staggered them by about 15min to give me time to set up for each stage but it still kept me running the whole time. I think it worked out well, other then I had too much volume in this one and missed my OG by about .005. It will still be good just a hair lower ABV. Ended up with just a touch over 5 gals. in the fermentor. 11/11/17 Keg/Bottling Day - I bottled 6-12oz bottles with a tsp of corn sugar in each and put the rest in a keg. I think I ended up with about 4.6 gals.

Notes:

Color is a murrky deep amber with good carbonation that gives it a rocky head to start that falls to a thin tight off white cover. Aroma is roasted malts that give some bread notes and caramel that gives a light sweetness. It has a medium body with a light smooth mouth feel. Flavor is light roast, just a hint of fruit and then a hop spice that gives a light peppery feel. Aftertaste has a very light bitterness to go with the spice and finishes slightly dry. Overall it's a great Amber, easy drinking with mellow flavors.
