Red Stout?

[Halldawg]

Wanted to do something a little different. I know it will not be to style, but wanted to hear some imput on it.
Here is my first guess.

well the SMR automatically disqualifies it as a stout. but the recipe does sound good.

you might think of adding a second vile of the yeast.

I know calling it a stout is wrong. What would be a better name?
Tipsy, you think I need two vials or just a big starter?

How about a Brick Red?

 

[Halldawg]

Going to call it Red Clay Ale I think.

With the columbus, maybe an American style Mild bordering on a Brown Porter?

Confused on the Beer Profile? So you want a beer with .065%?

 

[Halldawg]

Lol. No. It does not calc actual until I put in actual FG.

Changed it some. Going to call it an Red Clay Ale.

Imperial Red?


either 2 vials or a big starter will work. i don't like to do the little extra work needed to make a starter so i just buy the extra vial.

John Harvard's has a "Red Stout" - seems to be in and/or a cross between a red and a stout - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1548/44636
