New Brew

[craigo]

i am about to put down another brew in the next couple off days just wondering if any one had any suggestions on a good recipe that i could use. I like all types off beers except for black beers. Any suggestions?

APA, IPA, Wheat?

Try the recipe data base on AHB here.

When it opens, click on "method", and select "kit & kilo". You'll get whole page of recipes to choose from.

You can do the same and select "extract", and get another page of recipes to choose from.

Really, only you know what you want to drink and brew, but have fun!

Yeah, craigo, as mentioned your question is a bit too broad. There are plenty of great recipes around here, if you keep reading you'll find something that takes your fancy. If that seems a bit too daunting give us a bit more to go on style-wise.

Unless you hate US hops, an APA is a welcome beer in most fridges. Easy to brew, fun to drink. Even if you miss your target by a little, it is usually still very drinkable.

I have a very easy one here.

If you like JS golden then try the kit version of Dr Smurto's golden ale.

I have to warn you though that the signature hop of JSGA is amarillo which is an American hop.

Otherwise try:

1 x tin coopers pale
1 x kg light dried malt extract
500g wheat malt extract (or 1 x kg tin liquid wheat)
200g dextrose

Add the two extracts and the dextrose to 10 litres of water and add 10 grams of pride of ringwood hops. Boil for 30 -40 minutes, add the kit and boil for another 10. Add to the fermenter with some homemade ice (boil some water, let it cool and freeze it in a clean container which you can seal), top up to desired volume (at least 20 litres) and let cool (covered) to around 20 degrees). Add yeast.

Read up about re-culturing coopers yeast from the bottle or buy some Safale US05 from your home brew shop.

Ferment at 20 degrees, when finished allow to sit on yeast for 3 more days. If you can put the whole thing in the fridge for 3 more days then bottle and prime as normal.

Should give you a 4-5%, extra hop bitterness, a nice maltiness without being cloying and a perceived dryness. Nice and simple but an introduction into some more complex aspects of boiling and brewing.

And while Knappstein is not an American brewery, nor is it an Ale, and nor is Nelson Sauvin an American hop... the taste and aroma of passionfruit in your beer is a pretty US phenomenon.
