Toasting malt for an Irish Red

[BarryNL]

I'm thinking of an Irish Red next and I'd like a good strong toasted malt flavour in it - has anyone had good/bad results toasting their own grain and what are your recommendations (or things to avoid doing)?

[oblivious]

As far as I am aware no one toasted malt for Irish red ale. They are generally simple ales with pale, crystal malt (5% roughly) and around 80grams of roasted barley that give the color and a little flavor. You also can substitute in chocolate malt, but roasted barely is more traditional.
