A buddy (very good buddy) bought me my first home brew kit. I was hoping someone could share a very simple India Pale Ale recipe for my very first batch. Any advice out there?
Cheers :mug:

I'm finishing off my second keg of Brewer's Best IPA, and extract kit and lovin it. My wife is a wine drinker but won't drink anymore wine until this is gone.

Find a home brew shop or buy it online, you won't regret it!

It isn't truly an IPA because it does not use British ingredients, but it'd be mighty tasty and hoppy.
A good tip for extract brewers is to always use light or extra light malt extract and use steeping grains for your color. With an IPA look for a nice orangeish color. Fermentation temp and sanitation are two of the most important things to watch out for.

Don't boil the grain!!!! :)
 
I second Ohio Dave. The Brewers Best IPA is a good one. I made it several times before switching to all grain.
