I am new to the site, and I think I posted this in the wrong spot the first time - so here it is now in the correct spot. Sorry for the mix up!
I am putting the finishing touches on a recipe for a massive, hoptastic Imperial Red Ale (similar to Ballast Point's tongue buckler) and I wanted to get some feedback. I have some concerns on whether I will produce the brilliant red color that I desire. Any and all feedback, criticism, and advice is welcome! Thanks in advance!
