I am trying to work on my own recipe for my next batch. What I was/am after is something light in color, mild hops, slightly crisp, with a little fruitiness on the back end of the profile.
Here is what I have come up with so far. I'm definately open to any thoughts/opinions/suggestions. I'm real new to working up my own recipes, so I could use all the help I can get....
Strawberry Beret

4 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM) Dry Extract 44.44 %

I went with 68 for the temps simply because in the area where I store my beer, it maintains close to that temp with minimal temp. swings. Its the best I can do in my current house.
As far as the Strawberries go, I'm also up in the air on what fruit to use in the secondary. Raspberries or Blueberries are definate options, as are anything else that might be tasty.
