I'll keep this short and sweet. I'm looking for an "american red ale" recipe...not an american amber...a nice, hoppy IIPA with a solid malt backbone (think troegs nugget nectar, bear republic red rocket, sam adams tasmian red).
Troegs Nugget nectar uses 80% vienna so I'm set on using that. I'm considering the special B in a low dose for color and small flavor addition, and the 1oz roasted barley mostly for color. I figure I can get a lot of color from the vienna itself. without further adieu, here's the recipe
any thoughts or suggestions on the grain or hop bill? As for yeast I'll be pitching 1.5 packs of s-05 dry.
