Now that I have emptied a case and a half of the first of the beer that we brewed at the Flying Barrel, I am planning to brew my first beer at home. After a bit of thought I have decided on a Belgian Pale Ale Extract + Mini-Mash recipe. It looks easy enough for my first time, and should produce a tasty beverage. The recipe is after the jump.

This is based on the recipe for Yellow Diamond Belgian Pale Ale in Radical Brewing by Randy Mosher.
