Hey guys, what's up? Well I did my first brew last Saturday, and it went well overall. She's still in the primary, going to rack into the secondary Saturday.
In 2 weeks from this Saturday (bottle day) I plan on brewing another batch. Might as well, since by the time those bottles are finished coniditoning, it'll be bottling time for batch #2.
But one problem remains: I am undecided on what to brew next!! I know for a fact that a Pale Ale is out of the question, way too hoppy for my likings. My favorite beers are: New Castle (Which brew #1 is a brown ale), Guinness, I like different kinds of bocks, Abita Amber (It's a local microbrewery in Louisana, it's a Amber Lager, a little on the malty side, not too much though), Abita Turbo Dog (same company, a chocolate stout), Flying Dog Wheat Ale, Flying Dog Golden Ale, Stella Artois... Hmm there are probably some I'm leaving out!!
Anyways as you can see I typically like a little malty taste (exception of Bock beer which IMO is very malty.) I do enjoy hops, just not too much (Flying Dog Golden Ale is a little hoppy, but not as extreme as Pale Ale.) Also, I did enjoy the wheat type beers (except blue moon, don't like the fruity taste.)
Any suggestions for my second brew? What extract brew would you choose if you were me? Thanks
