Hey David – I’m glad it came out well for you:)

I poked around your blog a bit – nicely done. I’ll be reading regularly!

Came out great, even if we missed gravity by a few points! The Cascades worked out nicely. Too bad the keg is going to get kicked on brew day tomorrow. Many thanks for sharing the recipe.

Excellent! It should be damn near the same ale. The yeast sub is a no-brainer. The Cascades won’t bring quite the citrusy flavor of the Amarilos, but it’ll still be a lovely beer crossing your tongue:)

Good luck! Let me know how it comes out!

Alright, we’re making your version this Saturday, with a few substitutions – Cascade for the Amarillo and Wyeast 1056 for the WhiteLabs. Really looking forward to getting a red just right, especially after all those low-IBU winter beers.

Yup, single infusion. My brew day notes show mash held at 151 for an hour.

I tend to put a pound of Carapils in every ale brew that doesn’t already have some wheat in it, so they tend to come out pretty chewy – in a good way:)

We went with a kinda Rogue red clone, which unfortunately came out a little thin for my taste. It might have been due to mash temp issues, as it’s mostly in the 20s here in Connecticut.

What temp did you mash at? And, was it 1 hour, single infusion?

It was an awesome ale – I need to brew it again!

All of the late hop additions make for a hoppy, west coast style red ale – and I’m all about the hops:)

Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

How did this Imperial version you created come out? Thanks for sharing your recipe.
