OK, here we go again.
I`m about to loosen up the old brewing thing again. Haven`t done this in a few, but can`t wait to get started again.
I`d like to get some recipes.
Does anyone have a recipe that resembles Carta Blanca? If so, please post it.
AKAK I`d still like to know if you get your yeast by ordering on the web or otherwise.
I`ve got enough ingredients to get me started with some Pilsener tommorow, but am also interested in trying to reproduce the Carta Blanca as close as possible. Love dat stuff. :D

You have recipies?
I have barley by the tonnes, just need some hops.
Been trying (years ago) to make bitter and ales from can-kits, - they were rather good.
(once one is used to bitter)
Anyway, if you have the formula for ale from sheer raw material, please post!!!!

All grain notes at the bottom.
............................. ............................. .......
Big Brown Ale
GRAINS/MALT HOPS YEAST/EXTRAS
9 lbs. Pale Malt Extract
1/2 lb. Chocolate grain
1/4 lb. Black Patent grain
1/4 lb. Crystal 120L
1/2 lb. Crystal 90L
1/2 lb. Victory grain
1 oz. Northern Brewer hops (boil)
1 oz. Kent Golding hops (late boil)
1 oz. Willamette hops (finish)
London or Burton style Ale Yeast
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Steep grains in a mesh bag while heating 2 gallons of water to near boiling.
2. Remove grains and add malt extract, stirring to ensure it is thoroughly dissolved. Bring mixture to a slow, simmering boil.
3. Add 1 oz. of Northern Brewer hops and begin timing a 30 minute simmering boil. Remember to stir gently but frequently to avoid scorching or burning the beer.
4. In the last 5 to 7 minutes of the 30 minute boil, add 1 oz. of Kent Golding hops. Continue to stir gently.
5. At the end of the 30 minute simmering boil, add 1 oz of Willamette hops. Immediately cover and remove the kettle from heat. Cool as quickly as possible (preferably using a Wort Chiller coil) to retain flavors and help safeguard the beer from airborne contaminents.
6. When cooled to approximately 70 to 75 degrees F, pour into a sanitized fermenter, add cool water to make 5 gallons total volume, and add yeast.
7. For better clarification, transfer to a secondary fermenter and/or add gelatin solution when fermentation slows. If you are unfamiliar with these practices and interested in clearer cleaner beer, ask us for guidance.
NOTES:
For All Grain brewing: Substitute 9 to 10 lbs. of 2-row British grain for the malt extract. Mash at 155 to 157 degrees F for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly, maintaining sparge water temperature to ensure good extraction. Boil 60 minutes, but maintain hop schedule as above unless you would prefer a slightly more bittered beer that will result from the longer boil time and the addition of the boil hop at the beginning of the boil period.

I get my yeast from a local brewery store here in San Diego. Look for a local brewery store near you and tell the guy that you're looking to make a beer similiar to Carta Blanca and he'll point you to the necessary ingredients.
