The Soft Underbelly

Recipes 

So i have a Sh*t ton of Chinook this year from my hop harvest. Havent dried them all yet, but i'm looking at maybe a pound off my second year bines.

Anywho, I've made pales and IPA with 'em before and while i dig em, i cant help but wonder if a darker beer, maybe a brown ale or a porter might not better compliment the flavor of these hops.

I checked the recipe section, did the Google search, etc. but dint find any specific recipes which moved me.

Anybody have a recipe? Failing that, can anyone help me build an extract recipe with steeped grains and what not? Thus far my own recipes have been rather simple (ie Some crystal 10 or 20, extract, hops...) but I'm looking to experiment

Any suggestions, musings or insults welcome

I happen to have a couple bottles of my last IPA stioll handy and god knows I'll be brewing one soon (maybe tomorrow).

But i like the idea of the RIS, never made one before but love the beer. Can anyone suggest some steeping grains, I've seen a number of recipes and wonder whats worked for those who've brewed them?

I like the looks of that. I have many of the ingredients and would only need to pick up a few. Pappers, i see your in oak lawn, where do you get your ingredients? I grew up, and my folks still live in, Alsip, not much in the way of home brew shops out where i'm at now...

I'm thinking about doing a Stone Levitation clone with my Chinook harvest.
