Bling India Pale Recipe

[snails07]

Has anybody given @husky's recipe a crack?

I'm looking at brewing a Bling (not Bling Bling) clone pretty soon and wondering if this recipe is close to the Bling Bling? There is no real mention if it is a good clone or not.
I've also been reading up on Melanoidin malt and everywhere seems to be saying that around 3-5% in a recipe is heaps.
But I'm guessing that the dark red color in the Bling's comes mainly from the Melanoidin?

Thoughts anyone....

Hey mate, I haven't brewed this for a while but when I did the colour was spot on but the hops needed a slight shift towards Aussie varieties to match the original. Recent samples of Bling I cant detect anything American. The process is the highlight for me, clean bittering hop and then plenty in the WP. On the malt side, the last feedback I had from Ben at Bridge Road was to sub 10% of the base malt for carared. I haven't tried this as yet but will be come summer time.
