I'm a fan of reds, too. What is this one?

It’s the nail red clone off Brewfather but I changed the hops for what I had on hand! I used super pride for bittering and Simcoe late with Simcoe and Galaxy for the dry hop. I think I put the recipe in brew day but if I haven’t I can post it! I had a look it’s on page 5!

maybe some rye

I am about to brew a Ryerish Red so interested in what percentage of rye you guys would recommend? @RDT2 & @beach_life 

My initial play around with an initial recipe has approximately 76 % Coopers Ale Malt, 16 % WEY Caraamber, 7 % WEY Rye and 1 % JW Roasted Barley.

I’ve only used it in one midstrength brew tbh but the recipes I have seen seem to be 5-10% so I guess you are in the safe zone. 
I am keen to try it on a bigger scal though!

I use a kilo in my rye lager, which is apparently 17.9% of the grain bill.

 Free cobwebs too 🕷️🕸️

The cobwebs make the dungeon look just so much more authentic and create the right atmosphere for you and your beers over there @stquinto Love it. 

But get back into your day chamber before the sun comes up or @Classic Brewing Co will hunt you down with a wooden stake. ha ha

Must brew me another Duvel clone.

If you fancy a recipe, this one works for me.

I've used candi syrup, dex and also table sugar. All good, I don't reckon the candi syrup makes it that much better to justify the added expense. I've used two packs of MJ41, and also Wyeast 1388, and the trub from that one a second time. All good. For the bottles I added 2g of Fermentis F2 with the bulk prime sugar just before bottling. It was a bit maltier that others I've made. 

The one thing that made a difference with the bottled ones was that I kept them 9 months so far.... quite a long project but worth it if you have the cellar space and spare bottles.

Oh, and the FG was more like 1.004, I didn't fill int the right bit on the GF software.

Awesome fella thanks for that. I've made two " Duvels " and my recipe is pretty much identical to yours. I use dext.

Only difference is I didnt step mash and used a different yeast, Lallemand Abbaye. 

I actually preferred my version to the real Duvel, thats saying something, Duvel is a lovely beer.

I'll give your step mash version a crack and see how much improvement if any comes again.

Thanks for the effort of putting up your recipe, much appreciated.

I haven't done a red rye but your recipe looks OK. Maybe some Carared as well? Higher %'s of rye will give you a more earthy taste that some people do not like.
