I had the idea to make a red IPA using mostly Sorachi Ace hops but I don't have any experience getting an obviously red color out of grain. I am aware of the CaraRed product but since I haven't used it I don't know what level of red color to expect from different amounts of the grain. An Example of what I'm shooting for pictured below.
