I think I'm stuck in a rut. I love bitter malty beers and am drinking my Dead Guy clone (almost gone already) and my Redhook ESB clone the most. I have a Pete's Wicked clone in secondary, as well as our "house" beer, my Sawtooth ale clone. Still drinking my red ale (not a great fan of it), English pale ale (pretty good), and my brown ale (Newcastle-ish). I've got a lager yeast starter going for an American style maibock, sometime this week.
I saved my last yeast- Wyeast 1056. What would be good for me to make next? I'm still doing extract/steeping grains until my birthday when I'm getting a MLT from my husband! :rockin:
Anyway- I need to (gently) break out of my rut, but have to have something my husband and I can drink. He does not like stouts or porters, and IPAs would be iffy. Is there anything like the English pale ale, but a little hoppier? Anyone have a recipe for a killer hoppier but malty brew? I've got TONS of pellet hops in the freezer, so I would only have to buy specialty grains and extract.
Thanks!
