Oh wow, look at that, I didn't realize you had all those recipes.... All I kept seeing were the mash recipies... Thanks a ton, is there anything particular these types of brews are called, like malt extract brews or anything?

P.S. I am looking at that dogfish clone, sounds good!

There are three main categories of recipes: extract, partial mash, and all-grain. You'll be wanting an extract recipe, but can probably do a partial mash recipe as well. In addition, many AG recipes can be converted to be done with extract.

I'd recommend looking at the extract recipes first, and thinking of a style you might want to brew. If you look up in the links near the top of the page, "recipes" is one of the choices, and they are all listed by style. They are tried and tested recipes by our forum members.

Extract can be divided into prehopped extract, extract+hops, and extract+grains+hops.

If you have done an extract+grains recipe kit like one from Brewers Best or one of the online stores listed above, and feel comfortable with the process and results then you can start putting together your own from recipes you may find here or by tweeking a recipe for your own tastes. A program like Beersmith makes conversions, substitutions and scaling much easier than doing it my hand but you can do it the hard way also.

You do not need to do partial mash to make a recipe from scratch however it is not that much more difficult if you research the steps. I did two extract+grain recipe kits, then tweeked a kit to a partial mash before moving onto all-grain brewing from recipe.
