Thanks everyone! We moved out here from Central Oregon in 2009, and I was amazed at how many breweries we have here. In fact our first apartment was just down the street from New Belgium, Odell's, etc. Now that we've moved into a house I can brew pretty much any time I want and not upset the neighbors. Back in August my friend had me come over and help him brew a batch because he messed up his shoulder and couldn't lift the buckets, etc. For my help he gave me 2 gallons of a 6 gallon batch, and it was so much fun and such good beer I decided I wanted to try it. As soon as this batch is out of the fermentor and bottled I'm gonna fly solo and try it by myself. Any suggestions on a good, hard-to-screwup AG recipe for a fledgling homebrewer? I'm thinking hefeweizen but I'm all open to suggestions. My setup is a 5 gallon fermentor bucket, 5 gallon glass carboy, 5 gallon bottling bucket, 8 gallon kettle & patio stove, and a 5 gallon watercooler mashtun.
Life is too short to drink crappy beer.
