Brewing an extract batch for the club

BeerPressure · 04-09-2009, 07:12 PM

Next month's club meeting I will be brewing an extract batch at the meeting. I've not brewed extract in a few months and I am looking for recipe suggestions. I will not have to pay for any of this beer. A spring time/summer beer would be nice. Maybe a hefe...

6 lbs Wheat DME
0.5 lb CaraPils
1 oz Hallertau at 60 minutes.
WLP300 w/starter

Ferment for 2 weeks at 63-65F.

Pretty straightforward, yet tasty.

Sounds good. Is that for a partial boil?
