Red X seems to be popular for making red beers. You could even sub it in for that pilsner.

I think your BH efficiency might be a bit high. It's your system so you'd know better, but at that gravity on my system I'd have BH efficiency closer to 65%. 75% is what I get for 5.5% beers. Also, why the cara-pils, flaked barley, flaked oats, and maltodextrin? Why not just one of them...

Yeah, add some dextrose, sucrose, or invert sugar to dry it out. Wine yeast won't touch the maltotriose.

Do you sparge and, if so, do you acidify your sparge water below 6? If the PH increases during sparge as run off completes, it can pull tannins out of the mash. I'd say tannic astringency could be called an "up front very bitter flavor".

What about the other gases like hydrogen sulfide that are produced during fermentation? Wouldn't you be putting those back into your beer?

+ 5.5 gallons of Irish Red. =878

I'm pretty sure a Noonanite is a beer that you can enjoy at both noon and night. So pretty much any beer.
