This one works for me, but is a bit underhopped, I think.

Ingredients:

6.6 lbs Northwestern Gold Extract
1 lb Laaglander Light Dried Malt Extract
1.1 lb Roger's (Canadian) Demerara-Style Brown Sugar
2 oz Bullion Pellets (%AA unknown) -- (90 min boil)
1/2 oz East Kent Goldings Whole (4%AA) (15 min boil)
1 oz East Kent Goldings Whole (4%AA) (dryhop - last 7 days before bottling)
1/3 oz Wines Inc. Burton Water Salts
1/2 lb 6 row Crystal Malt (40L)
5 gallons distilled water
1 gallon Chicago (soft) tapwater
yeast recultured from 3 bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Procedure:

Nothing special -- crush the crystal (actually, I used a rolling pin and a ziplock bag) and put the crystal into a mesh grain bag. Suspend the bag in the pot from the spoon as the water and Burton Water Salts go from cool to 165F. Remove and let drain. Bring to boil, add malt extracts and hops in hop bags at the proper times. Chill as quickly as possible. Aerate and pitch. Use blowoff method.
