Looking for advice on the best steeping grain for an extract red ale.  I brewed one a few week ago with 1lb of Carmel 60 and the color was not as redish as I would like.

Thanks!
 
The red ale I've been working on, which is an all grain BTW, has 2.3% chocolate rye malt, 4.6% melanoidin, 1.1% roasted barley for a final color of about 14 SRM.
 
You can also try Red X Malt.

Here is a link below to the malt.  It does add a red hue.  The more you use, the more reddish it is.  I've attached a link about it.
