New guy here looking for some advice. I'm thinking of brewing a clone of sierra nevada pale ale or even just a beer similar to it. I've done two extract kits from NB, but I figure I could get a recipe online and just buy the ingredients from my LHBS. Seeing as how I'm still very new to brewing I...
