Hello everyone. I have a brewing opinion question or advice question. I have been brewing at home for about two and half years and made 47 batches. My question is to those that are brewing often, are you brewing styles based on conditions (iE season and temperature) or by what beers you want? The reason I am asking is that I have come to a cross roads and am unsure which direction to go. Should I be focusing on a few styles of preference (like IPA) and working on a improving those or continue to try every style? I am finding myself brewing a saison, then moving to a wheat pale ale and then to a brown ale and then to a black lager. I feel I am not really focusing on getting that 1-4 recipe comfort.
Just throwing it out there for some opinions. Anything helps, thanks in advance.

I'd say work on getting a few beer recipes perfected that you like to drink the most. For me it's PA,APA,IPA,Wheat beers. Wheat being the newest member of the rotation. without temp control,you have to watch the weather for when cold fronts come through to cool things down a little.
If I'd have gone ahead & bought the ingredients for the 2 IPA's I wanted to brew/re-brew a week ago last weekend,I'd have had some 9 days in a row of unseasonably cool weather to keep fermenter temps down.
As of 8/1,I'm gunna start on kitchen repairs for momma,& some brewery upgrades for me. One being a fermentation cabinet.
 
I like to try some new craft brews or a brewpub I've never been to when I'm low on inspiration. No one can answer this one for ya, good luck!
