Notes: Steep the grains in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes.
It is assuming a 5 gallon batch,
3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning.

If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra 1oz.Citra at 60 minutes.

Extract notes from the forum thread author:
As far as First Wort Hop / Steeping hops.... I would add them with around 10 min left in steep (before rinse), and put them in a different bag than the grain. Then you can leave them in for the whole boil.

Notes: This is a recipe that I came up with for a clone of something like coors light. This beer does have a little bit more body than a regular can of coors light but all of my friends who don't like the IPAs or darker beers love it and keep asking for more!

Notes: Everything in this recipe is really cut and dry..besides all of the Cocoa and Cacao Chocolate baking bars..With ten minutes to go I took about .5 gallons out of the wort and placed it in a small pot. I added the Hershey's and Ghirardelli chocolate to the wort. After it was all melted I slowly poured it back into the wort.

Notes: 2 packets of Wyeast for 1L starter. Stir plate, step-up, decant and rebuild as necessary.

Steep grains in 155°F water for 30 minutes.

Turn off heat and bob grains for 10 minutes.

Bring to boil for 60 minutes adding fermentables, hops and other ingredients per schedule.

Carmelized white cane sugar - place sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it turns to a thick liquid and becomes a medium amber color. Add to boiling wort (@ 2 minutes) immediately before it hardens.

Vanilla beans - should be split and deseeded, placed in the wort at flame-out and allowed to rest in the wort for 20 minutes. Then remove vanilla beans and add top off water.

Transfer to secondary and allow the beer to condition for one week. Bottle and then allow the beer to carbonate and age for two weeks.

Notes: I used two different dry malt extracts. One was a 1 lb bag of Breiss Golden Light DME. The other was a 3 lb bag of CBW Golden Light DME. I added all 4 lbs to the beginning of the boil (careful of overboil) but I have also heard of 1/2 in the beginning, 1/2 at the end. I used LME at the end instead.

Important to add LME with about 15 mins left in boil. This will avoid over-scorching which is known to give a metallic taste to the beer.

Add pureed apples (use a muslin bag) with about 10 mins left in the boil. You will not taste the apple in the brew, but the pectin in the apple adds a nice body and haze to the beer.

Add lactose sugar with 10 mins left in boil.

Freeze Strawberries and whole vanilla bean (use however much you want). When it is time to add these at day 7 of the secondary fermentation, they will be easy to crush.

I like the smell of the galaxy, cascade, and simcoe hops the best, which is why I chose to use them for the dry hop. Since most of what we taste comes from what we smell, it is important to use your favorite hops towards the end of your boil and for the dry hop. Dry hopping will increase aroma and get rid of bitterness.

Inspired by my favorite Milkshake IPA's from Tired Hands.

Notes: Add 2 tsp of Gypsum to water, based off starting with DC water.

The recipe released from the White House has an error, they mention 1.5 oz of Fuggle in the list of ingredients, but then only 0.5 oz in the instructions. I went with 1.5 oz here.

The instructions are also a little weird in terms of the boil times. They say 'add the honey and boil for 5 more minutes'. So, actually it is a 50 minute boil, not a 45 minute boil.

Other than that, it is a straight forward extract batch.

To get it to qualify as an Amber Ale, had to set the IBU equation to Rager, and the SRM equation to Daniels. I'm open to suggestions on the style (haven't tasted it).

Notes: (5 gallons/ 19 L, extract with grains) OG = 1.078 FG = 1.020 IBUs = 60 SRM = 59 ABV = 7.5 %

Step by Step:
Steep the crushed grain in 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water at 155 ºF (68 ºC) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of hot water. Add the liquid and dried malt extracts and bring to a boil. Add the hops and Irish moss as per the schedule. Add the Sumatran coffee and two chocolate varieties at the end of the boil. Add the wort to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of cold water in a sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water up to 5 gallons (19 L). Cool the wort to 75 ºF (24 ºC). Pitch the yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 68 ºF (20 ºC). Hold at that temperature until fermentation is complete. Transfer to a carboy, avoiding any splashing. Add the Kona coffee and condition for one week, then bottle or keg. Carbonate and age for two weeks.

All-grain option:
This is a single step infusion mash. Replace the malt extracts with 13.2 lbs. (6 kg) 2-row pale malt. Mix the crushed grains with 3.75 gallons (14 L) of 172 °F (78° C) water to stabilize at 155 ºF (68º C) for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly with 175 ºF (79º C) water. Collect approximately 6 gallons (23 L) of wort runoff to boil for 60 minutes. Reduce the 60 minute hop addition to 1 oz. (28 g) and the 30 minute addition to 0.4 oz. (11 g) to allow for the higher utilization factor of a full wort boil. Follow the remainder of the extract with grain recipe.
