Batch 10: Irish Red Ale

I made an irish red ale off the recipe below. It is almost entirely based on the Brewing Classic Styles recipe except I switch to Maris Otter, added sugar (to dry it out and boost ABV). Finally, the roasted barley sold by my shop is 415L so it came out a lot darker too.

Also, this is my first time I did closer to regular BIAB. I did mostly full volume (~75%) with just some for a mash out withheld.

The recipe is below:

Notes
From Brewing Classic Styles. I am not sure about efficiency. It may be a bit too strong since I do not know about the number. I also played around a bit with the numbers.
---------------------
Added a bit of sucrose for ABV boost and to dry it out but I may cut if I come out high on boil grav or pre-boil efficiency

---------------------
Mash out volume and strike volume are from iterating. Exact temp for mashout doesn't matter as much.
