		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite commercial beers here in New Zealand is Mac&#8217;s Sassy Red so I decided to have a go at making something similar. I found a recipe for an approximation called &#8216;Slutty Red&#8216; and I converted it for extract brewing and made a few mods based on ingredients available and getting some good advice on&#8230; <a class="continue_reading" href="http://beerandgarden.com/2011/04/batch-no-6-aidans-slutty-red/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>

I used the handy Kit &#38; Extract Beer Designer spreadsheet to work out the recipe quantities. It&#8217;s basically in the style of an American Pale Ale or an American Amber Ale, but more towards amber than&#8230; <a class="continue_reading" href="http://beerandgarden.com/2011/02/batch-no-5-nelson-amber-ale/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>

The biggest improvement in the process was changing my sanitiser from sodium metabisulphite to iodophor. The sodium metabisulphite requires 1 hour of air drying to work, iodophor just requires 1-2 minutes of contact&#8230; <a class="continue_reading" href="http://beerandgarden.com/2011/02/updated-extract-brewing-process/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>
