Notes

The water profile is important.
Check out the 'Mash Chemistry and Brewing Water' link above and reload: WH8FXWX for the actual water adjustments using my source water. Adjust accordingly for yours.
The Sodium Met additions are to neutralise chlorine and chloramine, but raise Na by 3ppm and So4 by 10ppm. This brings the final water profile to within parameters for my 'Ale Profile for 9.6 SRM'.
The grains: Redback malt and Shepherds Delight lend a reddish colour to the finished beer.
