Sounds like a go. Do it man!
Then let us know your results.
Finally got to trying this. Basically a cross between an existing 15 minute Pale Ale recipe on this site, and your Amber. I used darker crystal malt to make it more of a West Coast Red. It's fermenting right now, and smells awesome!
Here is what I brewed:
Hop Burst Red
Fermentables
6.3 lbs Amber LME (half @ 15, half @ flame out)
1 lb Amber DME (add @ 15)
.5 lbs Crystal 60L
.5 oz debittered black malt
Hops
2 oz Cascade (7.3 AAU) @ 15 min
2 oz Cascade (7.3 AAU) @ 5 min
Yeast
US-05
OG: 1.055
IBU: 38
SRM: 14.8
Not sure, but I may dry hop this. Worried it might be overkill, as all of the late additions will contribute a lot of flavor and aroma.
Like I said, the aroma from the fermenter smells great. I'll keep you posted.
