Marc-ee-Poo's Irish Red Honey Ale

I added 2.5lbs of honey at the begining of the boil so the sugars would break down for faster fermintation. I added last 1/2# of honey in the last 10 min to retain more smell and honey flavor.

I used leaf hops. After boil down it was 5.25 G and a final Gravity of 1.083.
