I'm gonna try to suck a friend into homebrewing tomorrow. Anyone have a recommendation for a LME IPA or partial mash IPA? I really can't tell if I've got a winner by looking at online recipes. |

The brewer's best IPA kit makes a pretty good beer. I don't have my recipe sheet from that one, (brewed it many years ago) but as I recall I enjoyed it a lot.
Brew on,

Sister Star of the Sun is a truly wonderful IPA. It remains one of my all-time favorites. There's no reason it couldn't be brewed as a partial mash recipe, or even extract with steeped dark crystal malt. Substitute half a pound of wheat extract for the malted wheat.

I'll try it Bill. I've heard enough brewers who rave about it, and the recipe is pretty simple. |

Does anyone substitute table sugar in place of malt extract? I recall reading in BYO maybe about high finishing gravities from unfermentables in extract, and to replace some syrup with sugar.
I feel like a noob. |

It depends on the extract you use. Some produces wort that is just as fermentable as if you brewed all-grain, but there are extracts that are less so and would benefit from substitution with, say, 5-10 percent sugar. I know Dan Listermann swears by the Canadian LME he sells and says it is highly fermentable. |

Laglander is the extract that has the most unfermentables. Most of the others are not too bad. 5% sugar would be saftey insurance and not too noticable if the extract did ferment out. |
