What is your favorite extract recipe?

[kcbrewmeister]

I am looking for my next brew recipe, I have only done two so far but neither is ready yet, so I thought I would ask this question as inspiration.

 

[remman4]

Why have you made so far?

Why have you made so far?

What not why dang autocorrect

 

[kcbrewmeister]

I have brewed an amber ale and an oatmeal stout, both Midwest kits. And I hear you on the autocorrect comment!

 

[remman4]

I really enjoy pale ales, either try out another kit or use a tried and true recipe from here e.g. Yooper's haus pale or EdWort's haus pale

I recommend the all Amarillo Ipa. In the recipe section on this sight. It's fing delicious! This is my version of the recipe :

9.25 lbs pale lme
.5 lbs crystal 40
1.5 oz Amarillo 60 min
1 oz Amarillo. 30 min
1 oz Amarillo. 15 min
.5 oz Amarillo 5 min
2 oz Amarillo dry hop 7 days
wyeast 1056

Sweet pint glass! GO DUCKS!

A brewer smack dab in the middle of the Willamette Valley would know the value of Amarillo more than anyone.

Doing the caribou slobber for my first ever brew tomorrow...that's what I like to hear as long as I can hold my end of the bargin and do everything right

 

[Voodoo_Child]

I'll be brewing Caribou Slobber on Saturday as my first brew ever as well. It it's a highly regarded kit from my understanding. I'm really looking forward to it.

The next kit I was thinking of was either Northern Brewer's Dead Ringer (Two Hearted clone) or their single hop Chinook IPA.

Northern Brewer seems to have a solid catalog, great customer service and honestly a purdy website. I would try some of their high scoring kits. Go by the reviews.

+1 on the caribou Slobber kit. Our friends killed us and drank all of ours. So we got another one, an all grain, sitting at the ready. Just waiting on our grain mill.
