It's been a while since I have had a Pete's maybe I'll give it a try over the weekend. This recipe is mostly for extract brewers and is fairly simple.

2 cans Unhopped light Extract
1 lb Crystal Malt
1 oz. bullion hop
1 oz. Cascade hops
1 oz. Fuggles
Ale Yeast

Put the 1 lb crystal malt in hop bag and put in gallon of cold water. Bring water up to a boil, then removebag of crystal with strainer and throw away(you made a tea with the cystal).

Remove from heat and add 2 cans of Unhopped light extract. Bring back to a boil and add 1 oz bullion simmer for 30 minutes.

Then add 1oz. cascade hop and simmer for another 15 minutes. Then add 1/2 oz Fuggles simmer for 15 minutes.

At last minute add other 1/2 oz. of fuggles.

The reason I picked this is that it is usually really tough to make a yellow colored beer from malt extracts, unless you are using an extra light variety. The best that I was able to acheive, was a dark golden color.

This is a great, easy-to-make pilsner-style beer made with ale yeast — no lagering required. Comes close to many commercial light pilsners, with just a bit more flavor. (5 gallons)

Ingredients:

2.5 lbs. extra light dry malt extract
1.5 lbs. light honey
1 oz. Cascade hops (6% alpha acid): 0.25 oz. for 60 min., 0.25 oz. for 30 min., 0.5 oz. for steeping
1 tsp. Irish moss for 15 min.
1 tsp. gypsum
Wyeast 1056 (American ale) or Yeast Lab Canadian ale (AO7)
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming

Step by Step:

Bring 2 gal. water to boil.

Remove from heat and add dry malt, honey, and gypsum.

Return to boil. Total boil is 60 min.

Add 0.25 oz. Cascade and boil for 30 min. Add 0.25 oz. Cascade and boil for 15 min. more.

Add Irish moss and boil for 15 min. more.

Turn off heat, add 0.5oz. Cascade hops, and steep for 2 min.

Pour into fermenter and top up with cold, preboiled water. When cooled below 70° F pitch yeast.

Ferment seven to 10 days in primary at 70° F or below, then transfer to secondary and
ferment another seven days. Prime and bottle.

Summer is just about here and time to make a lighter type of beer. One style that tastes great during those hot, steamy days is a hefe weizen. Sure, it takes a few to get use to the taste (not your typical beer), but during the summer it sure hits the spot.

This recipe was taken from the Tastybrew recipe bank and is primarily geared to extract brewers.

I tried this tonite after bottling on thanksgiving and I cant stop grinning! This is far and away the single best homebrew I ( or my wife and a few friends) have ever tried. It is very carbonated, next time I will cut the priming sugar back to 4 oz. The head is thick and tall and lasts the length of the glass.Color,clarity,and balance is perfect. I think the honey in the secondary really kicked it up a notch.This batch won't last long. Technorati Tags : Beer, Homebrewing, Hefe, Weizen, Recipe

This week's recipe is a Yuengling Clone. Yuengling calls itself America's oldest brewery and is located here in Pennsylvania. I had the pleasure of touring the brewery in 2001 and it was excellent. Yuengling makes several products and this recipe is from Tastybrew.com is for the Amber Lager.

Notes About The Recipe

This recipes calls for rice. I know for a fact that Yuengling uses corn grits. Yes, corn grits, the kind that you can buy at the grocery store. I have used corn grits it recipes and I know that they can cause boil overs. So, after the malt begins to boil, slowly add the corn grits and stir to keep them from settling to the bottom of the pot.

With lawmower season upon us, now is the time to brew a lighter style of beer. This is and original recipe that has been generated using Promash software. The grains in this recipe are to be crushed and steeped for about and hour. Add the Irish moss when you put the second batch of hops in and allow to ferment for about a week.

This is a good base recipe to use to make other beers, so experiment with it.
