from extract to mash recipes

[stee41]

Hi all,

ok, I have made extract recipes on and off for years now and I am ready to move on to either partial or full mash recipes depending on how complicated they are to make.

So, I am after fairly easy to follow recipes that are recommended by the forum members and are suitable for the uninitiated.

I will be using Cornie kegs and King Kegs, I have pint bottles but I am really pushed for time these days so unless bottles are a neccessity it will be kegs.

I tend to go for the following type of ales, not in the order displayed....

Hobgoblin
John Smiths
Banks Bitter
Theaxston BB
Beamish stout

Thanks all........

I'd recommend Graham Wheeler's book "Brew yer Own British Real Ales" which has a massive recipe section covering the styles you outline in your post.

Have a good look through 'Brewdays' on the forum, lots of pictures showing the process happening
Some good Youtube vids here http://www.youtube.com/user/jimmythebrewer#p/u which shows pretty well how easy things are.
