So for my first brew I was given an IPA kit. Great. Hope it turns out ok. Now I'm trying to identify which beer I should target for my 2nd brew.
Couple of key requirements:
1. I want a good summer beer that I can bring to the beach. I figure if I get rolling in the next week or two I'll have some bottles ready for August/September.
2. I want to go with a kit again. Don't think I'm ready to go get my own ingredients, etc. I'd like to keep it simple so I can try and perfect my process.
3. I want to brew a beer I like! Two of my favorites all time (and also beers others enjoy) are Dale's Pale Ale and Tank 7.
Question to all of you: Are some beer style's "harder" to brew than others?
For example, the IPA I just brewed seemed straight forward. I'm guessing a Dale's Pale Ale will be similar since it's get a decent amount of hops in it. Now a Tank 7 farmhouse ale/saison has a whole different taste to me...thinking maybe it's more complicated?
Maybe a dumb question. Just curious if some beers/styles add more wrinkles that I'm not anticipating.
Thanks
