Welcome. Depending on where you'd like to start from, you may not need a recipe to get started. If you're talking Mr. Beer, or 5 gallon extract kits, all you need to get started will arrive packaged together. Enjoy!

OK, so I'm about 30 hrs. into the fermentation of a 1.07 OG IPA, and I pulled the plug on the airlock, and hooked up a blowoff tube. :p

Thank you, Yooper. Do you think that adding the LME at flameout will help to keep the beer a lighter color? My extract brews so far have all been much darker in color than I expected. (Not a real big deal, just a visual thing.)

1 lb. Belgian Carmel Pils (steeping)
1 oz. Chinook 60 min.

1 oz. Cascade at flameout
2 oz. Cascade dry hop.
US05 dry yeast
