Now that I have

[FrozenInTime]

4 cans of WIld Spirit IPA HMEs, what should I brew? I used to have many recipes using the old ADIPA, but have since deleted that file (by accident, or sump'n). I'm looking for a good tasting but *lite* IPA. I'm thinking 2 cans for 2.5 gallons with 1.5 lbs of traditional dark DME. Using qbrew it looks to be a fair IPA without needing any hops added. What say ya'll?

While looking in my extra's bucket of grains and DMEs, I discovered a treasure trove of brewing ingredients I had long forgotten. Thankfully, they are stored below 55 and all well sealed so there are still good. Tell me o BORG, what brews can you come up with using the following ingredients. Hops if I don't have, I can get. I have a package of Falconer's Flight 7 Cs, 5 ounces that I have not used and would like too.

3 lb Munich
.75 lb Carapils

.75 lb 6-row Black Malt

Thanks Louie! According to that, just the 2 cans would be a nice lite IPA, bout what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll just steep 1/4 lb carapils, heat, dump in 2 cans and go with it. Been awhile since I've done up a kit-recipe, it will be nice to touch up on the basic mix.

I still have all those other ingredients, any thoughts? I like pale ales and will gladly do up a 2.5 gallon batch.

Just a thought, whomever comes up with the winning recipe, I'll send u a couple bottles when it's ready!
