Donate a Recipe

[gjohnk]

As a relatively new extract brewer (Ive done 7 extracts, 4 different recipes) I am constantly on the search for new recipes that I think I can brew but I have a special request for recipes on this occasion.

This year it was my 30th birthday but sadly I was in hospital recovering from a major operation, and needing 3 months to recover from that I never really got the chance to celebrate.
My wife has suggested that for my 31st in a few months time we throw a little beer festival at my house with a range of homebrews, and maybe a couple of locally bought beers. We will also use this as a chance to raise some money for a charity that helped me out when I was struggling this year.

So my request is would you like to donate a recipe that I can brew?

I am looking to brew 4/5 myself and am currently find my brews easier if I am doing a 20-25 litres brew, if I can use cans of extract and adding spraymalt if needed, of course am comfortable with adding hops and steeping.

I am hoping to do the following type of beers:
- a pretty weak beer
- something strong but nice
- a beer thats a bit different (I notice the new threads on adding honey, peaches, maybe golden syrup, etc)
- a nice traditional golden ale
- Maybe a mild

If you can offer me a recipe I would be massively greatly!
Thanks.

It's a brewing forum and you're posting a link to a set of beer recipes.
Why should you be beerated (sorry) for doing that? :wha:

Only problem I'd have with that lot would be working out the quantities, I can do pounds and ounces, I would have to google what they mean by cup measurements, but US fluid measurements are completely different to UK.

Long story but in short I was sadly having my large intestine removed. Not having one hasn't stopped the beer making/drinking though!

Thanks MattyJ. Was hoping people might want to suggest there favourite recipe.
As with any beer festival there will be a vote for the best beer so you might win some kudos too.

I got absolutely slated and accused of advertising on an unrelated forum for offering up a link to a site, so I'm a little wary now. Nice to know your a much friendlier bunch on here.

Cheers Matt. Much appreciated :)

Anybody else interested in suggesting a recipe?

Really keen to get a very strong beer and a really weak one.

There's a topic on here about brewing milds on account of that new tax law for beers below 2.8%. Have a search, might throw up something decent.

Can't donate a recipe but you can have my liver...... it's evil and has been punished.

Can't say I'm a fan of wheat beer so might have to be convinced to give it a try!
