The red color comes from the addition of the combination of these malts: 1 lb Crystal 40L 1 lb Munich Malt 8L 0.50 lb Victory Malt 25L 0.50 lb Crystal 120L 0.25 lb Pale Chocolate Malt 200L
Its a Recipe formulated by Jamil Zainasheff, basically one of the greatest home brewers in the US... Possibly the world... He has written a book in collaboration with other Home brewing greats... and is extremely nice about sharing his recipes.
his website is http://www.mrmalty.com simple but great stuff lots of pertinant info... I would certainly direct anyone who is home brewing to his site.
