Alrighty, since I have a lot of faith in the folks who frequent this site, I'm looking for suggestions, looking for a recipe for my third batch (and first that's not a kit).
I'm looking for something bigger, something a little higher-gravity that what I've been doing (a Boston-style ale and a Red Ale). I just had an American Strong Ale from Berkshire Brewing Company that I liked a lot, I thought it was very well-balanced but still had some kick to it. I'm not one to drink beer to get drunk, but this had a 7% APV and you couldn't tell at all. Looking for something that's full-bodied, got some sweetness but isn't afraid of the hops.
I don't even know for sure, I'm open to suggestions. Gotta be extract-based, of course, and I'm not quite ready to do a partial mash (hoping that I'll be ready for that step when it comes time for the fourth batch, got some equipment to build).
Really appreciate any recommendations you good folks might make..
