Rose's Rambling Red

[JediJunkie247]

I've got some cans of the old-school extracts I need to use up (Bewitched Red Ale, Mellow Amber, etc). For my next brew, I was going to throw together Rose's Rambling Red.

I don't have any booster, but I do have grains. I've got Caramel 10, Caramel 40, And Caramunich I, II and III.

Any recommendations of a substitution? I know whatever I use is going to be different from the Booster (which I never cared for anyway). I was just wondering what might pair up well with the BRA and MA.


Thanks for the assistance.

I made the old BRA with a pound of light LME, 8 oz of Crystal 60 and 4 oz of Carafoam. It's quite nice (brewed 3/8, still have 9 bottles.

Based on your list, I'd use the UME and 8 oz of Caramunich III.

BRA, Mellow Amber, and Caramunich sound like an awesome combination. The BRA starts out malty, though, so with adding more malt, also adding hops would probably also be desirable. Based on my old notes, the combinations with mellow amber used tettnanger, glacier, and liberty, and other recipes used cascade, fuggle, and willamette.

I know I've got some tettnanger, liberty, fuggle and willamette at the house. I'll play around with some ideas and see what I can concoct.

I'd use the Fuggles or Willamette hops with the red ale. They are great for making Irish Reds.
