Red Dot, Hoppy Red Ale

[Hoppy_Sanchez]

So I got beer smith happy and decided to build a hoppy red off of the bulk grains I have on deck.

Grain Bill
10 lb Rahr 2 Row
1 lb Dark Munich (flavor/color)
12.8 oz CaraPils(body/head retention)
1/2oz Roasted Barley (for color)

Hop Bill
1 oz Columbus 60 min
1 oz Simcoe 10 min
1 oz Amarillo WP
1 oz Centennial WP
1/2 oz each for dry hopping

Going to pitch my first slurry of White labs 001 from a Equinox/Mosaic pale I brewed back in December 2015.

I'm still continplating weather to add My dry hop additions to the WP so I won't have to dry hop. Just trying to save a week of waiting. A local brewery where I live Called Altamont Beer works throws a lot in the WP so they don't have to dry hop...

Tell me what you think... I may brew this recipe this weekend. Would love to hear some insight.

Cheers

That's a LOT of roasted barley- it won't be a hoppy red, it'll be a hoppy almost-stout.

If you want it just for color, an ounce or so at most would be good. If you need more than that for a red color, consider a debittered black malt or midnight wheat, and still not 8 ounces of it unless you want a roasty flavor impact.
