With seemingly half the capital city's youth currently setting fire to cars and wheelie bins so that they can empty the shelves of the nearest Footlocker or Curry's, I didn't have to think hard to name my first attempt at a ruby red ale.
I'm using a base of pale malt, backed up by a good amound of Munich malt, some Carared malt, a little pale crystal malt for body, and a very small amount of both black and chocolate malts - hopefully this should give me a deep red-brown ale.
Turning base ingredients into liquid gold. Small scale brewing in my small domestic kitchen.

Gobhoblin
With apologies to the good people at the Wychwood brewery, I've had a go at a clone of their lovely Hobgoblin ale. It's for my brother for Christmas, as he rates Hobgoblin very highly indeed - I hope I've done it justice.
I found a receipe on the Jim's Beer Kit forum, attributed to Orfy, and used that, as it came with a good reputation for matching Wychwood's brew. I heartily recommend the forum at Jim's Beer Kit for picking up recipes and brewing advice.
