    This beer was designed for the home-brewer vs pro-brewer portion of the AZ Beer Week, the idea was the homebrew club would brew beers meeting the criteria for a "double red" ale, it was to be between 7 and 8% ABV, and between 70 and 80 IBU, it also had to meet the color range of a traditional red and have the same malty notes as well.

    These beers were served alongside the local microbrewery offerings as well, so there was no two recipe alike, yet all met the criteria stated above.

    I love the addition of brown sugar to Irish reds, so it was part of my recipe here too, I took a gallon of first runnings and caramelized it down a good bit to give depth to the beer as well as body that would otherwise be lacking from the sugar addition.

    its a simple recipe, and if you are looking for something different to brew, give it a shot, you might enjoy seeing double red!

    This looks good. How much does the brown sugar come out?

    It is very subtle actually, it is buried by the malt and hops in the finish.

    that's exactly how i like to use adjuncts. just enough to alter the overall beer, but not enough to identify it.
