Looks good regardless, Matt !
Talked with a fellow home brewer in Germany about this. Seems that Red X is a blended malt from Munich, Melanoiden and Cara(red?). He visited Best and took quite good notes. Their malt analysis sheet doesn’t say anything about the blend… so I guess take that as an anecdote.
One other note: As this batch continues to mature, there is a more prominent toast flavor in the aftertaste.
Good info, Matt. Thanks !
I’ve been wondering what the makeup of this malt is and I came across this in another forum. I’ve also contacted Best about this but haven’t heard back.

I’m purchasing a sack of this stuff and I’m going to brew some Ofest, Dunkel and Red Lagers with it.
