The Beverage People Beer Recipe Index

Our index is arranged alphabetically by style, starting with "Amber Lager," and ending with "Wheat Beer." In some cases, such as "Light Lager," or "Pale Ale," the overall style will be split into substyles to help make searching easier. Within each group, an all-grain recipe is indicated by the code "AG" along with the number of gallons. "(AG5)" The code "EX" indicates a recipe primarily based on either dried or liquid malt extract, though some grain is most often included. Thus, a five gallon, extract based, recipe would be designated "(EX5)."

With your successful brewing in mind, here's a sampling of our recipes.

Follow our brief instructions for getting started, or refer to Brewing Quality Beers, page 6. Water treatments are optional, but using deionized or reverse osmosis water is always a great choice. We make recommendations for several different yeasts to use, if in doubt as to which yeast to choose, just let us know and we'll help you make that decision.

Irish Moss is used as a kettle fining and is added to the boil for the last 30 minutes.
Finally, the S.G. or original gravity of the beer and the hop IBU are listed at the end of the recipe, allowing you to substitute ingredients and still target these values.
