OK, so I have an Amber Ale kit brewing, should be bottled on about the 24th (3 weeks). Everything so far has worked out well, and I am wondering about what next flavor I should start looking into...but i am not a connoisseur in the ways of knowing what all beers taste like what, so I would like some help as to what kind of recipe I should look into next? Here are my tastes/requirements:
No lagering temp chamber available
I would prefer an extract style that I can boil 2.5-3 gallons (so no all grain 5 gallon deals) for a 5 gallon batch.
My tastes in beer:
Cheap style lawnmower beer: Regular Budweiser
Beer flavors that I am pretty sure I like at nice breweries (I want something different than cheap when I go somewhere nice like that) or when I feel like "decent" beer in a bottle:
Pale Ales
Scotch Ales
Oktoberfest
Maybe wheat beers secondary
Beer styles I generally do NOT like:
IPAs
Porters
Stouts
Some of the winter-style ales I recently had in a variety pack
So I think I am looking for more of a light flavored non bitter brew that doesn't need lagering...any suggestions on what to look for, name and style wise?
Thanks in advance...
