My wife and I have been working our way through x-files on netflix, and I've started using them as inspiration for beers. The first one was a baltic porter (Crying Krycek). I was thinking the next one would be Scully's. Was thinking about doing a rye based pale ale, but wanted to make it red.
I was starting with the Terrapin Rye Pale ale recipe (below). I'll likely change the hops slightly for dry-hop cause I doubt I can get amarillo (thinking centennial as I have some). I'll also use 1056, as I have a yeast cake to harvest from.
For making it red, I was thinking about adding some carared. I've never used it, though, so I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on how much to add and if it should be an addition, or a substitution. I'm not really looking for much flavor from it, just the color.
Thoughts?
