Brouwbroeders Red Ale

Brouwbroeders Red Ale
At the beginning, I was so crazy about Red Ale beers, the typical British Pub beer. In the meantime, I started to appreciate this very unique beverage. My first plan was to write my own recipe, trying to brew something similar to Fullers London Pride or Franciscan Well Rebel Red Ale.

Because I am still not so deep in the "write my own recipe" art, I decide to buy a brew pack on the internet and adapt the recipe onto minibrew's portal. It was not so easy, because some packs are for a bigger batch (20L, 30L) and to bring to the 5,5 L size would be difficult. So I found a small Dutch company called Brouwbroeders. They sell some brew packs, inclusive Red Ale, for a 5L batch size (https://www.brouwbroeders.nl/products/wisseltap-navulpakket-pale-ale).

After talking to them and the minibrew crew, I was able to brew my first version. The beer was not so tasteful and Dirk from the Brouwbroeders suggested putting more malt; this is my Version 2.

The result is a full-flavored, hoppy, buttery beer.
