The only beer my MIL has ever liked was one of my oatmeal stouts. I can't figure out what she liked though b/c she seemingly hasn't liked any other stouts (or any beer for that matter) I have made. The problem is I don't think I could easily recreate this recipe to figure it out b/c it was during my extract days.I've seen some homebrewers who try to make something for their wife/girlfriend and they do something like a blonde or raspberry wheat, etc. and it doesn't go over well. Then the guy makes himself a big IPA or a Trippel and the girl enjoys it. I could see someone trying Bud Light for the first time and not liking it, but then trying a well-made English Bitter, an American Amber Ale or a West Coast Lager and saying, "Now you're talking!" It just shows you that you really don't know. One of my wife's friends is not a big beer drinker so one night when she came over I assumed she'd drink wine. She knew I was a brewer and when she got here she said, "Let me try one of your stouts". I'm sure she heard the crickets chirping because I don't make stouts... but luckily another local brewer had just laid some of his homebrewed stout on me and I gave her that (telling her that I didn't make it). She enjoyed it but told me that it was really the only style of beer she likes. Go figure.

If your have any brewing software, plug in the extract recipe. The make your best guess with an all grain recipe. Tweak the all grain until the specs match the extract recipe.Or use 2 row to create the base wort and steep the specialty grains as in the extract recipe.Or brew the original extract recipe.zymotThe only beer my MIL has ever liked was one of my oatmeal stouts.

amber extract is usually a mix of 2-row, carapils and crystal 60. if it was Breiss extract their website will tell you percentages used in the extract.https://www.brewingw...#SparklingAmberWhat's tricky is that I think it used amber malt extract

SNPA.Pale Ale is beer in my opinion.Always has been.BrewBasserIf you had to show someone what 'Beer' is in one glass what would you fill it with?My first pick is Dusseldorf Altbier.California Common, Bohemian or Bavarian Pilsner, American Amber or a Dubbel may work well, too.Hmmm...now I want an Altbier...

Word.BrewBasserSierra Nevada Pale Ale.For me, that is the single best example of what beer is all about.
