I'm trying to get 15 or so beers nailed down that I can brew year round to put myself on a brewing schedule. I brew mostly American beers atm.
I want 5 taps. The first 2 will be year-rounders. Here's what I'm thinking...
Tap 1- Golden lighter style ale: Nice hop character but not bitter. Think Golden Wave from Kona sort of.
Tap 2- IPA: My house IPA
Tap 3- Dark beer: stouts, browns, porters, strongs, dunkel, etc
Tap 4- Seasonal beer: Spring bock, xmas ale, summer wheats/kolsch, fall Red, etc.
Tap 5- Experimental? This is the tap I'm wondering about. I guess I don't really NEED a 5th tap. It would be cool to still be able to go nuts and off the wall every now and then... Any ideas?
I've been brewing for about 4 years and I just want to get consistent with my brews. I make pretty good beer but I feel like I'm all over the place and never know what to brew next. This way I get to still brew often but I'll also get to nail down a refined recipe for each one. I like hops but I'm also a very seasonal beer drinker. Lots of lighter hoppy beers in the summer and lots of thick black beers in the winter. I have a few recipes for lighter darker beers I can brew for tap 3 in the summer.
I'm open to any ideas from the group that I might not be thinking of. Thanks!
