Red IPA Malt?

[HOPCousin]

Wondering about Red IPA malts? What do people use for this? I've heard special b, crystal blends, and even a touch of chocolate?

I don't brew too many red IPAs but I'd say look at a few clone recipes of some of your favorites and that'll give you a good idea. Just brewed a Hop Head Red clone that if I recall had everything you just mentioned, so you're on the right track.

I brewed something very close to Moshers IRA from this thread, it is a nice red and a great beer.

In my experience, the best way to get a nice red hue is an ounce or two of roasted barley.
