Light wheat/Belgian something
Wit
----
12.5 lb Barley/Wheat Extract (Breiss makes a 60/40 mix)
15 IBUs Hallertau or Saaz
20 gm Coriander
15 gm Bitter Orange
White Labs 410
OG: 1045
Hoppy American pale ale
17 lb Light Malt Extract
1 lb Crystal 60L
50-60 IBUs Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, or other American hop
4-8 oz Cascade in the finish
Wyeast 1056
OG:1060
Amber/Red ale
14 lb Light Malt Extract
1 lb Crystal 60L
35 IBUs Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, or other American hop
Wyeast 1056
OG: 1052
American Brown Ale
14 lb Light Malt Extract
0.5 lb Crystal Malt 20L
0.5 lb Chocolate Malt
35 IBUs Willamette
Wyeast 1056
OG: 1052
IMO, the AIPA, the Red, and the American Brown are too similar. Why
not drop the Red and do an English Bitter instead:
12 lb Light Malt Extract
0.5 lb Crystal 20L
30 IBUs EKG or Fuggles
4 oz EKG or Fuggles in the finish
Wyeast 1084, 1098, or 1099
OG: 1042
That'll give more variety to compare beer to beer.
