Hello beer brewing world.
Over the last month I have been reading up on home brewing and have been getting ready to buy my first brewing materials in October (when I finally move).
Until then I have been thinking about WHAT I will brew and I wanted to get your input on what styles I should try. Here is a list of beers I do and do not like to drink:
Like-
German and Czech Pils
Hefeweizen
Duesseldorf Alt Bier
Koelsch (but I like the Alt better )
Witbier
Schwartzbier!
Porters (when not sweet)
Stouts (when not sweet)
Helles
tend to like dry not sweet beers (other than the weizens)
Dislike-
IPA
Trappist
Bock
Octoberfest
or anything else that is too hoppy or too sweet
So with this information what type of beers would you recommend for me and which ones should I stay away from (maybe also ingredients). Also what characteristics seem to tie all my Likes together? I have always found it difficult to explain to people what characteristics I like in beer. I just know which ones I like.
Thanks for the advice and I will post an update once I brew my first batch...whatever style it may be.
