I am looking for my next AG recipe....maybe a RED...any ideas?

Hello,

I am looking for a nice RED recipe. I will keep combing the recipe sight. Anyone want to recommend one or maybe one of their favorites for my 4th AG?

Thanks
Joe

I brewed this one a few weeks ago... Great example of the style, tastes like a slightly bigger Smithwick's. If you like Smithwick's, you'll like this one.

10 min Mash Out Add 8.67 qt of water at 196.6 F 168.0 F

I like to go with about 2-3% Aromatic malt, 7-8% C-60, 1% Roast Barley and then Pale malt the rest of the way. I aim for 22-25 IBU with about an ounce of late hops staggered at 20 and 5 minutes. I use Glacier or Styrian Goldings for my late additions.

I think this is the best Red on here;

Here is one I did recently. It was pretty popular. You would need to adjust the efficiency for your setup.
