I've been doing kits for as long as I've been brewing. Sometimes I've modified the recipe a little bit and called it my own but I'm branching out. I bought Beersmith and took a look at some hop charts and I've put together an extract recipe. Let me know what you think.
Steeping grains:
2 pounds Rye Malt
1 Pound Car/Crystal Malt 10L
Fermentables:
2 pounds light DME
9.9 pounds Light Extract
Hops:
2oz Summit @60 minutes
0.5oz/0.5oz Zeus/Simcoe @20 minutes
0.5oz/0.5oz Zeus/Simcoe @15 minutes
0.5oz/0.5oz Zeus/Simcoe @10 minutes
0.5oz/0.5oz Zeus/Simcoe @5 minutes
0.5oz/0.5oz Zeus/Simcoe @1 minutes
1oz Magnum Dry hop for last 5 days

Your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are appreciated. I'm aiming for something along the lines of Flying Dog's The Truth.
