Partial Mash Brewer - Red Color?

[golfgod04]

So I am a partial mash brewer. I usually do a partial mash at 155 degrees for 30 minutes. Is there any way I can get a red/ruby colored wort? I tried making a red ipa using carared and a touch of roasted barley and that came out amber with a touch of red. Can I use red x?

For me, the clearer the beer, the more a brown beer can appear to be red. I've also heard that dark malts, like midnight wheat, are good for creating a red character.

Honestly, a lot of my darker beers end up looking 'red' rather than brown, when clear, and they've been darkened through different means. Maybe that would help your cause. Have you tried adding gelatin for clarity?
