I need to compile a list of Styles the recipes will be placed under.

Should I use this list or make it more simple? If this list, anything I am missing?

Light Lager
Pilsner
European Amber Lager
Dark Lager
Bock
Light Hybrid Beer
Amber Hybrid Beer
English Pale Ale
Scottish and Irish Ale
American Ale
English Brown Ale 12. Porter
Stout
India Pale Ale
Wheat and Rye Beer
Belgian and French Ale
Sour Ale
Belgian Strong Ale
Strong Ale
Fruit Beer
Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer
Smoke-Flavored and Wood-Aged Beer
Specialty Beer
 
You're missing my favorite style(s):

English Bitters (ordinary, special, esb).

Unless I'm supposed to use "English Pale Ale." I guess that's all they are anyway, right?
 
Any chance of separating English Brown Ale .12 Porter and making 2 categories out of it?

English Brown Ale

Porter

I just think of it as a "Porter" not an English Brown Ale.

Ize
 
Suggestions noted. Any other feedback?
 
Should there be a seperate catagory for barleywine, or does strong ale cover it?

-edit- And I agree with the porter seperation
 
Hybrid Light are like the cream ales or blonde ales

Hybrid Amber are CA Common

I still think there should be a distinction between strong ales and barleywine. To me there's a big difference between say, Arrogant Bastard and Dead Guy, and a barleywine. They may all fit under "Strong Ale" but there is definately a style difference.

Maybe this has been covered, but why not just use the BJCP styles?

That's what my list is ??
 
Can you include the subcategories from BJCP as well? I think I would rather have that level of detail in the organization because recipe databases tend to get excessively large.

Just look at HBD.org's recipe page for an example, I think it is organized well.

Mead, wine, cider, cyser, perry, melomel, methologen, etc?
 
I'll add in mead, wine and cider. Exepct something soon finally. Has taken me awhile I know but life has been busy.
 
Question: I find the BJCP style categories pretty nicely delineated. Couldn't you just use their style list? I use ProMash software, and each recipe is tied to a particular BJCP style, which would make it really seamless to move recipes over here.
