Hey everyone,
So a bit ago I put up a thread about a Red Rye Saison I am going to be brewing. Well, right now I have 12.75lb grain bill (not counting 1lb of honey for either after fermentation or during the boil, can't decide), of which, 0.5lb is this Weyermann Cara Red. It is suppose to have good malt flavor and "a deep saturated red" color. What little data from Weyermann there is can be found here.

So I want to know, has anyone ever used this? Is 0.5lb enough to produce a nice light-medium red color or will it be diluted too much? I of course also don't want this to become overpowered and look like liquid ruby either. According to Weyermann, it can make up close to 25% of your bill.
Hoping someone here has given this grain a shot and had some new about it. Thanks for your time!
