I'm wanting to try a red ipa. Not malty really but a red tint with piney citrus hops. Grain bill.needs work..I'm not sold on the red x malt as apparently it's a multi step.mash and I don't have that capability. Would it be better to use cara red or something like Munich/Vienna with a dark special.malt to get that color? I want it pretty red if possible and I know that difficult to say the least
Malts (11 lb 5.5 oz)
9 lb (79.3%) — Briess Brewers Malt 2-Row — Grain — 1.9 °L
1 lb 4 oz (11%) — BestMalz Red X — Grain — 11.8 °L
12 oz (6.6%) — Caramel/Crystal Malt — Grain — 20 °L
3 oz (1.7%) — Weyermann Carapils/Carafoam — Grain — 2 °L
2.5 oz (1.4%) — Weyermann Carafa Special I — Grain — 320.1 °L
Hops I plan on using Simcoe Chinook Columbus maybe? Dry hop with cascade and Simcoe probably. I might add some citra to flame out and dry hop for aroma and boost citrus notes. Also may just use warrior or Magnum for bittering. Trying to keep ibu around 50-55
1oz Chinook 30 min
1 oz cascade 5 min
2oz Simcoe 1 min
Dry hop 2 oz each of Simcoe and centennial
