One stars would be just basic kit and kilo recipes, two star a little more involved (perhaps adding hops, using different yeasts, etc). Three star would be extract brewing, four partial mash, five all-grain.

Here's a list of homebrew recipes for people to try, sorted by style and by difficulty.

Beginner recipes

These recipes are well suited to the new homebrewer. They're mainly of the 'kit and kilo' style, with, some cases, additional hops added as well.

Intermediate recipes

These recipes are targetted more to the brewer who's looking to make some variations on kit and kilo recipes. These will often include mashing small amounts of grain, but will rely predominantly on kits/malt extracts.

Advanced recipes

These recipes are usually all-grain recipes, intended for experienced brewers with the necessary specialist equipment.
