Heat Wave Red

An attempt at a Hop Head Red. A buddy of mine came up from San Diego and wanted to make something similar. Pretty much a shot in the dark from doing a little scouring on the web. The Green Flash website has the vitals and worked off that. We split the 7 gallon batch into two. He has no temp control while I do. Hotter than hell the day we brewed. Should be interesting to taste these side by side.
