Another brunette? A blonde? A redhead?

No, I'm not looking for a girlfriend... my wife keeps me busy enough, thanks.

I am of course debating over what my next brew should be. I think that I have an answer... and I stuck it in a blog entry, if you care to read: http://www.homebrewdad.com/index.php?blogid=13

Feedback (and other suggestions) are welcomed!

Read a little on BIAB and you might find that you have almost all the equipment you need to brew an all grain recipe. I'll be doing a 2 1/2 gallon batch of blond ale today since it's cold outside and I can comfortably make it in my 20 qt pot right on the kitchen stove and chill it in the sink with my 45 degree tap water. I have it posted on hopville. http://hopville.com/recipe/1142050/blonde-ale-recipes/blond-like-my-wife

If it turns out really well, I'll copy the recipe to HomeBrewTalk's recipe section.

Thanks for the feedback. I think that I could pull off a smaller BIAB all grain right now, but this will only be my third batch, period, so I'm going to take the baby step of a partial mash. Honestly, I prefer the idea of doing full five gallon batches, so I'll probably have to get a bigger pot before I can do all grain, even as BIAB (my pot is 24 quarts).

Tat being said, please do post your recipe here if it turns out well!
