I always used an oz or two of roasted barley to make an amber colored beer look more red. But I've never used Red X. Want to soon.

I have plans for a 100% Red X sour as soon as it warms up around here. Red X to about 1.055, lacto for a week at 98.6º and finished with Brett L. Dry hopped with something interesting like Mosaic and Simcoe. I'm stoked for the new style guide, which will really open up the American sours.

That sounds great. Love the color on that pic of yours. And I think I remember you liking the flavor quite a bit, right?

Ya it was like an english bitter but with a guiness ish ester profile. I forget exactly how much hops but guessing it was about 25-30 ibus of EKG

Oh and homoeccentricus? Dany Prignon from Fantôme brewed an Irish Red Ale last summer. Perhaps if you ask nicely he'll share his recipe?

I'm not the one asking for a recipe ;-) Plus I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of liquid-caramel-beer-with-a-nice-color. I was in Dublin end of last year, tried a few, and found them only so-so. Just personal preference...

But, as always, I wouldn't mind trying the f*-up Fantôme red ale, that's self-evident. I assume it was made with the house saison yeast?

Only place I've found red x in Midwest area is farmhouse out of Wisconsin .

Red X is a best malts product. County Malt group is carrying it for wholesale accounts it group buys.
