Kickin' Kilkenny (Smithwick's Irish Ale Clone)

This is an all grain Irish Ale brewed on 1-SEP-01
and is still fermenting. This is a "clone" of Smithwick's
Irish Ale from Kilkenny, Ireland. An extract version,
which came out quite nice, is posted as "Honeymoon Irish Ale".
The reason for the 16 lbs of grains and only 3.25 gallons
of mash runoff is due to the fact that I don't yet have
a really big pot or a wort chiller, so I really wasn't able
to easily deal with a 5.5 gallon wort. You can resize the
recipe for a total 5.5 gallon wort and an original gravity of 1.046.
