yeah I toasted it at 350 for 7minutes and it was still light so I let it go for a little longer(less than a minute) untill I got some nice brown hues but still pretty light. Im sure the malt was on the pale side as it had almost no color. Lets see if I can sucessfully get a photo on here...

So I kinda followed a recipie for a partial mash IPA out of the homebrewers book by the dude who started the zymurgy magazine... Anyway maybe im just used to store bought but ive never seen a red ipa. The recipe wasnt very specific outside of hop varieties. And was very confusing to procure as...

I appreciate the warm welcome yall! Cyclman: I was dubbed that by one of my friends on a crazy ass road-trip from Arcata CA to Sedona AZ in a failed attempt to get to new mexico's route 666 to jack road signs and sell in San Francisco. I was just safety then but while camping out jin camp verde...
