So I tried a Redhook Blonde the other day and want to see what I can brew that is close to it. Any recommendations? I have never done a blonde brew, but with summer coming on soon I figured it would be a good back yard beer.
I looked at the cream of 3 crops, but would like a few more options. This will also be my first AG batch.
Thanks!

This is a good recipe for a first time AG. 1 step infusion with simple ingredients gives you a really drinkable beer without too many steps in the process to make the AG thing overwhelming.

There's something called a "Centennial Blonde" recipe floating around here somewhere.

Supposedly has good reviews. I could be wrong though.
