Recipes 

After a lot of helpful advice from all of you, I have decided to brew a recipe from each of the following three styles:

Pale Ale/IPA/APA
Belgian Wit
Brown/Nut Brown Ale

My new question is this: does anybody have any knockout recipes for a good wit or brown/nut brown? I tried the hoegaarden clone from BC, and it didn't turn out how I had hoped. I'm set up for brewing partial mash extract brewing using a full wort boil (sabco keggles rule). Everybody's continuing help is appreciated. I'm going to try and brew at least two, if not all three this weekend, so send those recipes along!

Thanks again and...

I made this and everyone really enjoys it so far. I was thinking that it would turn out a stout color, but did not. Nice brown color. Did not turn out very high on the alcohol... which might be good for your situation. The chocolate just gets hinted to.. you swallow and wait a sec and lip your lips and the chocolate comes out real nice.

My notes put the OG at 1.055 and for some reason the FG was 1.032. I steeped the Oats along with the specialty grain which was the reason why I thought I had such high FG (I thought I read somewhere after that your supposed to cook them first). Another thing that happened is I forgot to strain the hops and they all got dumped in the fermentor. Real nice hop taste came out in this one.

Here is a thread of it... you can definatly see its not stout color.

Thanks for the recipe Beer Snob, I'll definitely check it out. I've been searching and searching the posts for other brown ale recipes, nut brown recipes, and belgian wit recipes, but so far, to no avail. I've also been reading through all my books and magazines for recipes, with some success. The one book I have, I'm kind of loathe to use since two recipes I've used from that book have been less than stellar (one was for a braggot that said it would be done fermenting in 14 days...haha). I've gotta get my grain bill together within the next day or two so I can get to the store and brew this weekend.

Any help or recipes would be appreciated! I don't even have general guidelines for either style, so I can't put together a basic recipe to build on.

Thanks and BREW ON

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but is biscuit a type of malt?

How about a late hop addition Amarillo Pale Ale. It seems odd to add the hops late in the boil and I made this one a few weeks ago.This was my first taste of Amarillo hops and this recipe is very good. To substitute LME for base malt multiply the pounds of grain by .75.

Anybody that posted an AG recipe, can you convert to extract with grains (partial mash)? I wouldn't even know where to start.

Sorry.

What's the conversion if I want to use DME instead of LME?

BREW ON

Blender

Recipes 

To convert grain to extract just multilply the base grains by .75 for LME or .6 for DME. In the recipe I posted 10 lbs. of Marris Otter is 7.5 lbs of LME and you can then just steep the speciality grains at about 155 degrees.
