If you like stouts and ambers, you would probably like porters and brown ales.

I've only brewed from kits, but I'm definitely willing to do more. And I do like porters and brown ales as well, my second batch was a honey brown that turned out a bit weak but generally good.

Yes, I plan to get an auto-siphon. I just want to use the mr. beer as
another primary so I can brew a small batch at the same time as a normal one. I could probably unscrew the top of the mr. beer and autosiphon out of it to reduce sediment even further.
I put a bunch of pureed cherries in the last batch and lets just say sediment was a problem. I got about 3 less bottles out of it than usual because of all the fruit getting kicked up at the bottom.
