    I'm bored at work, it's Friday and it's possible that I'll be picking up a few extra kegs this Sunday. So of course I'm wondering what am I going to brew? I'll have 6 kegs and I want to lager a few beers before Spring so I'm thinking 3 lagers and 3 ales. What should I brew for keg #6?

    Lagers:
    Keg#1-Rauchbier
    Keg#2-Dopplebock
    Keg#3-Bohemian Pilsner


    Ales:
    Keg#4-Milk Stout
    Keg#5-IPA/Pale Ale
    Keg#6-???

    I think a Belgian Dubbel or Tripel might round out that list pretty well.

    Yeah I just checked out the recipe section and was leaning toward a wheat or a belgain...or maybe a belgain wheat? OK thanks that settles it, something belgain. You win a 22oz. bottle when it's finished.

    This is what i'm building towards:

    1. Pilsner or Pale Lager
    2. Dortmunder (lagering now)
    3. Marzen / O'fest (fermenting now)
    4. Amber Ale
    5. Pale Ale (making IPL in 2 weeks)
    6. Boozy Hop Bomb
    7. Empty Keg ready for new batch.

    Kind of similar to my list. Just fill #7 with a stout.

    I can tell you what I have in my kegerator.. maybe that will help:

    IPA
    Munich Dunkel
    Schwartzbier
    Gluten Free Light Lager (for my dad)
    Breakfast Stout
    Cream Ale

    I have 2 empty Kegs, I will either fill both with Helles, or do 1 helles and 1 (Martzen or Bock)

    So I've seen people on here say to new home brewers, "welcome to the obsession". This is very true. I was obsessed after my first batch 3 or 4 years ago and it's just getting worse. I'm building a bar in the basement, a hop trellis in the backyard, starting a solera for sours, have a dedicated cold storage room for aging beer and I spend an awful lot of time on HBT. What a fun hobby this has turned out to be, and at the end of the day I have beer too.:D

    On tap right now I have:
    1. Blonde Ale
    2. Cream Ale w/ Hatch Chiles
    3. Imperial Porter
    4. Belgian Dubble

    I really need to get something hoppy going. Next weekend the wife and kids will be out of town, I think I'll knock out an American Brown and RyePA. I have a fifth keg and room for it in the keezer, but I like having a keg full of Starsan.
