Hi all.....
I've only made one batch thus far, from a kit (LME and hop pellets with nottingham dry yeast) and thus far has turned out well, keeps getting better every week. For my next beer I'm wanting to make a beer that will be fairly light colored, not crazy bitter, but moderately bitter.....in other words still tasty that I will enjoy during the summer. The other reason for making a beer like this is to try to make a beer SWMBO's mom and my mom will like when they come over for cookouts, etc. As they both prefer pretty light beer (generally Miller Lite). So I figure this will be a good comprise, something they like and maybe get them to try something better than usual and something I'll still enjoy drinking. Here's a receipe I whipped up on the internet, please tell me what you think. (First crack at a receipe after reading books and reading lots of posts here.....probably too many posts, but that's another story.)
