Yep, agreed with that recommendation - in general you could do a lot worse than some of Josh Weikert's recipes. I've done a slight variation on that recipe (details here) - I think I used a similar grist but different hops. Turned out to be a very nice beer though I'd probably up the late/flameout hops if I did it again.

It was indeed. Made another batch more recently and it's just as good as the last. @strange-steve made some after modifying the malt profile a bit. I understand he was fairly happy with it. Red-X isn't the easiest malt to use, it can drink a bit thin and is a little sour like a very mild acidulated malt. But at 1060 OG and full of luscious hops it works nicely.I think it was @An Ankoù , recipe post here:

I had good results with it in an English IPA. I am just on building an order now with 10kg of it. Shame geterbrew don't sell it
I get mine from thehomebrewcompany, but not sure they're taking orders at the mo. If you're getting 10 Kg, you might as well get a sackful. Just bottled a best bitter made from same and another made with Simpson's Imperial just for comparison and out of a sense of sheer badness. Both malts are fully diastatic so, apart from a bit of caramalt, that's it for the malt. I'm looking forward to some interesting results when they're conditioned.
I need some other grain as well so I will be filling the full 30kg with grain.
Let us know what you decide to make and how it turns out.
