Red Ale recipe

[RockTKaz]

I have cobbled together my first recipe for a red ale using only galaxy hops (it’s what I have).was interested in thoughts/suggestions
23l batch: calculations on brewers friend


2kg golden promise
2kg vienna
.5kg carared
.4kg med crystal

15g galaxy (13.5AA) @60
10g galaxy @15
25g galaxy @0

og: 1.04
Fg: 1.009 (us05)
Ibu 32
Srm: 11

my thoughts are swapping golden promise for a pale malt or crystal for carapils to aid head retention

what are your thoughts?

Or even a pilsner malt to try and darken the red?

To get it redder add some Black Malt, 30-50g.
