hi all

looking for a little help with my first extract brew. as I'm new to this i would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with a recipe and method for nice amber ale style beer.

as i just built myself a 33l boiler i think it should be getting put to good use

cheers you all

I would recommend a copy of Graham Wheelers Brew Your Own British Real Ale. I got all my Extract recipes from there.

John Palmer's 'How to Brew' is good too. And it's all available to see for free online. Here's a link to his first extract brew page, I found it very useful.

Thanks, Rich_B, an interesting read. It's certainly helped answer a question I had in another thread about boiling an extract to get a hot break.

Currently Drinking: Marris Otter with home roasted porridge oats, shredded wheat, crystal and black malt, EKG hops and Nottingham yeast. Smooth, dark, and rich - put some aside for Xmas.
Currently Drinking: Bohemian Pilsner with porridge oats, shredded wheat and basmati rice, along with Saaz hops, mandarin zest, coriander, cardamon pods and Munich yeast. Silky on the mouth with a wonderful summer taste. Love this brew!
