Putting an image on it is absolutely a big part of the fun in this hobby. I'm trying out Red Ale and Red Rye Crystal malts in my next brew, along with a helping of Simpson's Premium English Caramalt and ginger that made my last two batches really nice and sweet.

I'd like this to be extra red, so I'm even toying with the idea of throwing some beetroot in. Any tips for other seasoning that would provide crimson colour?

Thanks a lot! Remains to be seen what ends up in the brew, might be a sensible move to make the first red without any exotic vegetables to get a feel for the grains.

I hope the label didn't draw too much bad blood stateside. It's all a meme halfway round the globe, y'all.
