I'm like hammy71, I like variety in my beer. If there's one you really like there's nothing wrong with doing it again and trying to fix any mistakes you made or try new things to make it even better, or just keep trying different things, either way you really can't go wrong.

No matter what you decide for this batch, I'd recommend starting to build a collection of glass beer bottles. Just ask friends and family to keep any pop top beer bottles and keep any you buy yourself. You'll had more than you know what to do with very quickly and won't have to pay for...
