This is my attempt at a Red Racer clone, Central City has their hop and malt ingredients on their website, I didn't use Carastan or Superior Pale Malt, just what I had, but BeerSmith got me nearly spot on to the IBU and SRM with what I had for ingredients. Got 80% efficiency on this, every beer I've done lately I've had awesome efficiency with, think I finally have my crush fine enough that I'm even blowing the BeerSmith estimates away, with a 1.070 on this one. ABV will be higher than Red Racer, but who complains about a higher ABV?
