Macs Sassy Red is a nice beer, I'd like to try brewing something similar. There is a recipe in the db for Slutty Red which is supposed to be similar. However, that's an all grain recipe and I'm looking for an extract version. Anyone tried making an extract version this one or got any ideas for converting it?
The hops used are Saaz B (NZ) - this is the same as Motueka, right? Czech Sazz is also used - can Motueka be used instead? 90g of Czech Sazz plus 20g of Sazz B seems like a huge amount of hops at flameout - is that much really necessary? Plugs are specified, if using pellets instead, do you use less by weight?
Would Saf Ale S-04 work instead of Wyeast Labs 1275?
The style is Best Bitter - what exactly makes a Best Bitter? Also how do you get a red colour from an extract batch? Amber malt extract? Steeping grains?
