Hey guys,
I have been homebrewing the Wort-in-a-bag Brewhouse and Fiesta bre kits for a few years now. I have decided to take brewing a little more seriously and am ready to launch into my first all-extract brew.
I have hacked some of the Brewhouse Kits by dry hopping, doing small (3-4L) boils of other extracts and hops to try to tweak Brewhouse kits, and by inevitably changing the yeast from Cooper's to something else which more fits the style. As a result, I am not feeling too overwhelmed by the thought to doing a complete extract brew.
Being Canadian, I apologize for using metric measurements. But I have a number of the old plastic carboys which are in or around the 23L to 25L range. I have used these (despite the suggestions of many on these forums) without much trouble. I do have an 18.9L glass carboy. Given the constant suggestions that I use glass, I have decided to use it for my first extract brew.
What I am looking for is a simple recipe (my LHBS has limited ingredients, so pick the most common ones!) for an APA or IPA which will make 19L (~5 US Gallons) . It looks like DME will be easier to get around these parts. Liquid Yeast can also be scarce, so dry yeast would be best!.
Edit: I should mention I am doing a partial boil.
