Irish Red Ale Recipes?

Anybody have a fabulous Irish Red Ale recipe? I just brewed a Bitter with Wyeast 1968 (ESB/Fullers) and was going to repitch it to the Red. It's my first time using this yeast, and my first Bitter, and my first Red Ale. Any reason why the 1968 wouldn't be appropriate for the Red?

Thanks,

Norwalde
