Hey guys,
I've been brewing about 6 months, but mostly extract. I've only done 1ish all grain, and that was just because my friend let me use his brewery. Well now I just got the word that my sister is getting married, and I was asked if I would make the beer for the wedding. Thankfully I have until a year from this June to prefect my craft. Also thankfully, I am graduating from college this semester and I landed a job that pays well enough to buy all the toys that I can't afford now. Anyway, here is my general idea. First buy all the all-grain stuff and then get as many good recipes down as possible. I also want to build a kegerator with four taps, and just serve the rest in bottles. These are the beers I have in mind as well as the recipe that I kind of like.
Rye Pale Ale (My future brother in law is a Terripin guy) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-terrapin-rye-clone-72839/

Bock https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f61/red-baron-bock-25004/
Blonde Ale https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/blonde-ale-recipe-160256/

I don't think this one is really true to style although I bet it tastes a heck of a lot better. But when people ask me for something that tastes like Bud light I should probably have something to give them.
Banana Bread Beer (This was the all grain I made earlier, and I had great reviews so I had to include it)
Coffee Stout
American 2 row 8
Flaked oats 1
Roasted Barley 0.5
Chocolate Malt 0.5
Lactose 0.75
Chocolate 0.25
Coffee 1 qt
Add 8oz of lactose to the end of the boil
Add 1 quart Coffee when racking from primary to secondary
English Bitter (Its my sister's favorite, but I haven't found much on it.)
Brown Ale
I've found a couple of good base brown ales, but its a style that you can go crazy with so I kind of want to do that if I can.
Apologies for posting so much in one thread. I'm a little overwhelmed with the project myself even though I have very excited about it. Any tips would be appreciated.
