Can anyone suggest a good, sessionable pale ale or IPA recipe that is also an extract recipe? Thanks
Yooper,
Are you familiar w/Butternuts Beer and Ale's Porkslap Pale ale? It comes in at 4.3%ABV. In that neighborhood would be great but your number is fine. I really like big citrusy hop profile. I recently made a Citra Pale ale , dry-hopped w/ Mosaic and LOVE it. If I could make a lower ABV version of it I would love it. I am looking to have my favorite type of beer easier to enjoy as a session beer for the summer. I've only made 3 5 gal batches so far and they have come out really nice. The CPA is by far my favorite!. All have used DME and specialty grains. I' haven't done partial mash, so I would need some guidance if that were the way I needed to go.Thank's for your input!!!

Racked to secondary on day 14 to aid in clearing the beer.
Yooper, what's your go to yeast for this style?
Yeah I agree that's its tricky. I've made a few but haven't been overly pleased with my results. Ill try Denny's Fav again, the one time I did I got an infection. Do you lean toward simple grain bills? This is one of those beers for me that I must perfect.
Yooper, what does the dme at flame out do versus full boil. Just curious about the difference.
