commercial beer from kits

[gorymorph]

Does anyone have any "recipes" for what they think to be a close approximation to a commercially made beer. but which they have made from a kit and or other ingrediants, ie extra malt extract or any other differant ingrediants. Maybe we could start a special section for these, and if people make them we could have a review test kind of thing. Dons'nt seem to be to many things like this for us kit brewers

Thanks Daab iv'e seen these and a few others. Was thinking more about the many hundreds of beers that cant be bought in actual kit form but which are resonably widely available around the counrty

I guess the only way to acheive that and not go all grain is to do extract brewing or supplement a bog standard kit with extra hops and speciality steeping grains.
Sounds like you might have to think about joining the dark side sometime soon....join us, join us, join us

Okay, these aren't kits but there are plenty of extract clone recipes out there. The clone book is a good purchase. Here is a Sierra nevada to get you started. They have many more available online if you poke around their site:
