Need Help with a recipe my wife will enjoy!

Rather than brewing a batch of beer she may or may not like, why not start with baby steps? Go to a liquor store that does the "mix-and-match 6-pack" thing. Pick a bunch of single bottles of beers she might like. Bring home 6 or 12, put 'em in the fridge and let her sample them. If there are one or two that hit the mark, then you'll know what to brew.

Do you guys honestly find BMC crowd to like Saisons? They're pretty unique and pungent (and gross ><)... might as well hand 'em an IPA. Blonde gets my vote.

I don't find many BMC drinkers in my store that are good with a Saison. They find them WAY OFF for their taste. I would shoot for a simple "Easy Blonde" keep the hops minimal. Use Willamette they go well for BMC drinkers. Simple clean recipe. If you are an extract brewer just Golden Light DME a little C30L and ferment clean.

Cheers
Jay

That's what I have been doing she likes the blue moon clone idea. It will be first try at a biab all grain batch its a bit out a season for my taste. Ill have my porter and nut brown ale to drink. but after some reading and pricing out got this one all lined up hope to brew it on the Feb 6th should be ready to drink in may early march and I'll tuck a bit way for spring.
