Austinhomebrew said:I can steer you in the right direction if you want it to taste close. Your recipe will make a light stout not a red. It may be somewhat red in color but not really and it won't taste like a red should.
Replace the Pilsner malt with 5 lbs of Munich malt and 3 lbs of 2-row
Replace the 1 lb of 40L crystal with 1/2 lb 120L crystal (120L is the best for reds)
Change the caramunich to 1/4 lb. (yes 1/4 lb.)
get rid of the chocolate and roasted barley
Use Hallertau and Cascade for the following additions:
1 ounce of Hallertau (3.5-4.5 AA) at 60 minutes
1/2 ounce Cascade at 45 minutes and 1/2 ounce Cascade at the last 5 minutes.
Tried and true let me know what you think if you go with the recipe.

Reverend JC said:OK, Have been drinking this beer as laid out by forrest and it is very very good. It may be a bit more hoppy than i would concider Killians, but that is not a bad thing at all and the guy i brewed it for absolutlely loves it!
If anyone is looking to make a beer to try to show BMC drinkers a way to the light of good beer, this would make a fantastic stepping stone beer!
Highly recommended by the reverend!
