I've been brewing extract for about 175 gallons with a few batches of AG thrown in here and there. I dislike hoppy beers so almost everything I've ever made typically has an ounce at 60m, with the occasional addition of EKG or Saaz in the 15-0m range for a porter or english brown.
I've got some family visiting this October that want to spend a day brewing while they're here because it's always interested them, so I'm going to do another AG batch. I'm looking for something that doesn't have a very simple grain bill so I can explain why we use this or that particular malt, and a hop schedule that involves more additions than just the 60m bittering addition. The only downside is that they won't be around to drink it and I don't want to be left with something I won't drink, so I'd like to stay away from making an IPA or even an APA.
I was thinking maybe an ESB, or something Belgian? Anything you guys could recommend would be awesome. I looked up a Gumballhead clone that seemed like it might be fun to try and drink, that's definitely in consideration as well.
Cheers!
