Next batch for May

In Korea, there was a big long holiday in the first week of May. I had a tough surgery at that time. I had unwanted lumps in my stomach and I need to get rid of them before I leave this country.
I cannot drink a drop of beer as having the surgery is not even two weeks ago, but I still can design my next batch. I've been inspired single Mosaic hopped beer for a long time. And now is the time to make it by myself.

That's my grist (as always, the recipe is for 9L batch) :
References are from Briess malt company home page link

Vienna malt 240g
  • DP 80 (seems to be a base malt, DP needs to be 65 at least)
  • Lovibond 3.5
  • suitable for base malt
Caramel 90L 60g
  • suggested usage level : up to 15% 
  • Lovibond 90
  • gives viscosity, form and stability
Carapils 20g
  • suggested usage level : up to 5% 
  • Lovibond 1.5
  • helps form and body
Munich 10L 80g
  • DP 40 
  • Lovibond 10
  • clean and rich taste
Vienna and Munich seem similar and not sure how to use them differently. That is the article helps me a lot. link

with Mosaic hop 2 ounces(14g @60, 14g @10, 14g for flame out, 14g dry hopping)
with Liberty bell ale yeast M36 (suitable for a golden ale)

Regarding dry hopping :
After completion of the 1st fermentation(7days), steep the hop bag at least 24 hours, best until 72 hours. Changing the fermentor(or keg) is recommended but I'm not equipped unfortunately.

One thing has remained to be seen : 
To give an orange red color to the finished beer, need what?
