Subject: Smithwick's Clone Recipe
A neighbor of mine is interested in starting homebrewing and wants to
start with a clone recipe for Smithwick's Irish Ale. In conducting
some, ahem, 'research', it appeared to me that this beer is not a
typical Irish 'Red' Ale, although the flavor is very similar. It
looked far darker (brown) than most red ales, to my eye, without any
of the astringency, kind of like an English mild ale.
Does anyone have a good extract based clone recipe for this?
Thanks

Subject: Fermenting Under Pressure
A local tavern gave me a number of pin-lock cornies after the
distributor went to syrup-in-a-box and told them to toss all the old
stuff in the dumper. This gives me some equipment to play with on the
side, and I've been trying to gather information on brewing
(especially lagers) under pressure. Apparently, pressure keeps esters
under control at elevated fermentation temperatures, which in turn
speeds the fermentation process. Have any of you tried this? The
information I find is very fragmented. Over on ProBrewer (which for
some reason I can't seem to join, or even get a response from the
administrator), contributor 'brewerallyn' discusses his experience in
German breweries with six-day lagers, which were brewed under
pressure at 57F. He also said that at a US brewery he produced beers
from grain to glass in six days using Nottingham yeast under 10 psi
(no temperature or styles mentioned). If anyone knows who this fellow
is, I'd sure like to chat with him. Anyway, just wanted to see if
anyone has tried this using a corny, pressure release, and foam
suppressant. It might be a way to squeeze out some lagers at cool
basement temps.
