===Ingredients Needed===
The list below assumes you want to brew 5 gallons of a simple ale. You can use [http://www.beersmith.com BeerSmith ] to formulate your own recipe or download recipes from our recipe page if you are looking for a different style.
* '''6-7 lbs of Unhopped Pale Malt Extract''' - Usually this comes in cans that are 3-3.3 lbs each. Malt provides the sweet base that the yeast will feed on to make alcohol. Available from various manufacturers.
* '''2 Oz of East Kent Goldings Hops''' - Hops add bitterness to your beer. Pellets are most common and easy to store.
* '''1 Package of Wyeast American Ale liquid Yeast (#1056)''' [ or White Labs California Ale #WLP001 or Safbrew US-56 dry yeast]
* '''2/3 cup Priming Sugar''' - such as corn sugar. Also available from your brew store or grocer.
