VF (Not enough)-Red Ale

I tried to copy a Kilkenny irish ale and til now it seems like it is getting good.
Colour was too weak, it reminds me more of a pale ale....

Brewer:	Robert Lundblad		Email:	luro@algonet.se
Beer:	VF (Not enough)-Red Ale		Style:	Red ale
Type:	All grain		Size:	20 liters
Color:	13 HCU (~9 SRM)		Bitterness:	19 IBU
OG:	1.040		FG:	1.010
Alcohol:	3.9% v/v (3.0% w/w)
Water:	I added 1 tsp of gypsum in the mash since our water in Gothenburgh is very soft and to accentuate the hops better
Grain:	2.79kg British pale 0.19kg Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) 46g Roasted barley 0.28kg Corn (raw) 93g Flour
Mash:	75% efficiency
	Single step infusion at 67°C. Dough in at 54°C with 5 liter 65°C water. Raised temp to 67°C with 4,5 liters boiling water. Lautered with 75°C water.
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.036	22 liters
	Irish moss was added the last 10 minutes only because I forgot to add it sooner(???!!!).
Hops:	4.9g Northern Brewer (10% AA, 60 min.) 3.9g Target (13% AA, 60 min.) 2.9g Kent Goldings (6% AA, 30 min.) 2.9g Target (13% AA, 30 min.) 2.0g Fuggles (4% AA, 5 min.) 2.0g Kent Golding (6% AA, 5 min.)
Yeast:	I used a British ale yeast which I have used several times before from a starter of 1/2 liter of boiled water with 3/4 dl liquid malt extract in it. I boil my starter for 20 minutes.
Log:	I made a 20 liter batch and there was lots of evaporation...4,5 liter approximately. I boiled 22 liters. Brewing day was 980514 Fermentation was made without a secondary one, since I didnt have any more carboy. It was done at 23°C and was completed 980528.
Carbonation:	I boiled 100 grams of dextrose powder with 2 dl of water. That makes roughly 5-6 g/l
Tasting:	After two weeks of storing it tastes great, but I'm a bit disappointed about the colour. Next time I will use 100g of Roasted barley insteead of 50g.
