Okay, thanks, thats what I figured, but just making sure.

I ended up doing a Red Ale, that the guy at my HBS helped me with. Next though I'm going to try David's recipe, just one thing which of the hops goes in first, when you say 2 oz. of a high AA hop (Galena, Columbus, etc.) at 60 minutes does that mean right at the beginning or right at the end...

Bah, they had closed 5 minutes before I got there, looks like no brewing until tommorow morning :( . Thanks for the recipes guys, and please keep them coming, I've found lots of IPA recipes are their any simple ones for either of the others?
