Our American Red extract is mashed with pale and crystal (caramel) malts, for a deep amber-red color and rich, partially caramelized malt flavor. For the deepest red color and smooth flavor, our American Red has been mashed without roasted barley, just with a large proportion of light and dark crystal malt. Brew your own robust red beers to your own taste without the need for mashing.
Approximate SRM color value of 6 pounds of extract dissolved into 5 gallons of water before boiling: 9

An excellent malt!
Pros: I like to use in steam-style beers... very nice!
A fabulous malt!
Pros: My all-time favorite of my own brews (and winner of a blue ribbon in a local homebrewing competition, out of 30+ entries) is based on this malt. Pairs well with Amarillo, Palisade, and Centennial hops. Beautiful color and complex malt profile.
top choice
One of my top choices for brewing, goes well with Gambrinus malt.
Very good malt
This is a very good malt. Most of the time my beers finish early, but this one went a long time. Started at 1.060 sg and finished 1.025 sg. It has a nice malty flavor. I will buy this one again.
Makes Great Ale
I mixed this extract with honey and it made one of the best and easiest ales I have ever made. Wonderful flavor and color.
