What is your favorite extract beer to brew?

[mattsmitty]

Trying to figure out what i want to brew next, and was wondering what everyones favorite extract brew was. One of your own recipes? a kit from someplace? Would really love to brew a lager but i dont think i have the equiptment setup that i need for that just yet. Have a brown ale fermenting right now and plan on brewing something else the day i bottle the brown ale to start a good rotation of beer. Hopefully it will work out to where by the time im done drinking one batch the other will be close to being finished. So please share what ur favorite extract brew is and give me some ideas!!!

I really liked Munton's Gold Old English Bitter.

I love my saison. A little to dark to be in style but great on a hot day.

Are you looking to do something simple or something out of the ordinary?

I shop at Northern Brewer. So far what I always have on hand: American Amber Ale, Caribou Slobber, Dry Irish Stout, Speckled Heifer, Bavarian Hefeweizen, and Witbier. Which I prefer at the moment is what pairs best with the current meal. Then I'll brew something different because it sounds interesting. May look at a Saison next.

I brew the Patersbier extract kit from Northern Brewer more than any other beer. So simple, great and inexpensive. The perfect summer beer!!!

The Woodforde's range, canned by Muntons, is very good, although they seem to skimp on the amount of kit yeast supplied. The kits consist of two identical pre hopped cans, yeast, and a hops sachet with, I think, the Admiral's Reserve kit. Great English Ale styles IMHO, and also in the opinion of a couple of relatives who consider themselves to be beer connoisseurs.

The Kilkenny Irish Ale extract kit at my LHBS is -- pardon me -- killer! Hoptech in Dublin, CA. I believe it is available online, if interested. Easy to brew, too.

I do a extract lager that i love
3.3# can breiss pilsner lme
3.3# can breiss munich lme
1.5oz. hallertaeu @ 60 min.
1.5oz. hallertaeu @ 20 min.

you can do the primary at cellar temps around 58 for 2 weeks then put it in your fridge for a month of secondary or hang it off the dock in alaska like I do
