so what is the redx like more of a Munich or pale ale malt?

so what is the redx like more of a Munich or pale ale malt?

I would describe it like a mixture between a Munich & Caramel malt. I have some more redx IPA if you would like to try. It is definitely unique, nice body to it. I tried doing some research online some seem to think it's a blend of Malts. Bestmalz don't give much away

yeah that would be great, will be a awhile till I make another malt order. that combination sounds great, my recent red ipas have all been misses and I think the darker caramel malts are just too caramelly and chewy to mesh well with citrus hops. kind of like mixing lemon citrus and chocolate, they don't mesh well to my taste buds.

1.5kg Begian Wheat Malt
400g Special W Malt
250g Caramunich II

Mangrove Jack Belgian Ale Yeast

Should be interesting...

An update on this, tried a bottle last night and i'm pleasantly surprised, tastes like a Dubbel.
I'll try one in another week and report back.

Just checked my log and its been 3 months since my last brew day . Having to work is a serious bummer sometimes!
Bought the grains for this on a while back, brewed yesterday and it's bubbling away in the garage as we speak.

GEB hoppy APA all grain kit, Hoppy American Pale Ale All Grain Ingredient Kit - 23 Litres 6.4% - Get Er Brewed.
I've done a couple of their kits so far and they're all good. Looking foward to seeing how this turns out.

 

[samale]

This should keep me going until after Christmas

 

[MickDundee]

I’ve not brewed anything, but I have done my first ever pressure transfer to keg. Everything has gone swimmingly.

Tested out my ghetto bottling tool as well on 6 bottles. Growler spout to length of silicone tubing to bottling wand. I tried without the bottling wand but it was leaving too much headspace. I’ve added a tiny touch of sugar to each bottle and will keep in the warm to see if it’s worked ok.

what hops will you be trying?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Didn't brew but bottled 21 bottles of Grapefruit IPA. The picture above reminded me that I tried capping wth some gold caps I bought from GEB and both my clappers wouldn't work with them. I then changed to yellow and they were fine.

 

[samale]

what hops will you be trying?

I have a good few brews planned. I got some noble hops, saaz, mosiac, azacca, EKG, Sorachi ace. I already have El Dorado, Amarillo, centennial, cascade.
I picked up some belle Saison, verdant IPA yeast plus WLP 530.
First up will be a Belgian dubbel then a traditional Saison which I will use WLP 670 Brett Saison yeast. I also want to brew the sorachi ace Saison I shared with you. I thought it was brilliant.
Maybe a Belgian imperial stout using the WLP530.
The list keeps getting bigger

 

[LesTom]

Bottled a small (3 litres) batch of stout, I was stuck with what to call it; so I came up with this seeing as it's getting packaged away to the end of the year.

 

[samale]

I just bottled my cardamom and coriander saison. Very interesting

 

[samale]

Just looked I am running very low on bottles. I need to send out an SOS to a few mates

 

[Clint]

GH porter...although I've subbed the hops with fuggles and going to bung in some brambling X at flame out/80c. I also added a bit of torrified wheat.
After a poor start ( decided to have 10 minutes extra in bed and woke up 9:30!) everything seems to be going ok...
