India Pale Ale

Beer Recipe of the Week This is a nice and easy recipe if you want to try making an all grain beer.  To keep your costs down, you can use a colander.  I have one that has small holes and it works great for straining the grains.  The hardest thing is crushing the grain.  I bought a Corona crusher and it works fine, but is a real pain when doing 10 or more pounds.( I hand crank, seems more authentic.)   Orginally From: Beer Recipes.Org India Pale Ale (2gal)
