Here is my rough recipe, not too sure about the hops yet. I probably should stick to something more conventional, but my from scratch pale ale turned out so well that I feel confident experimenting a bit. If anyone has an opinion, or advice please share, and don't be afraid to be critical. I am still learning and I can take the pain.
