So Ive brewed my first beer. Its OK, Im happy to serve it to guests, but Im not going to brag about it. I know a couple of things I did wrong and will correct them next time. The first time was a kit, but I would like to start with a recipe for my second. While waiting for the first to ferment, I read through two of Papazian's books and have been reading a fair bit of this forum. I think I have have a much better handle on what I should and shouldnt do and would like to use a recipe for several batches in a row so I can make changes on subsequent iterations and see, smell and taste how some of the recommended processes change the beer. So Im looking for recommendations for a base recipe.
Parameters:
-- Id prefer a big IPA because thats what I and my wife enjoy drinking.
-- Extract with specialty grains or Partial Mash BIAB since I only have a 6 gallon pot.
-- Fairly simple hops mix. (This is one of the things I expect to play with down the line, so I dont want to start too complicated.)
Looking forward to your recommendations.
