Well, you could do quite a bit. you are most limited by your hops. Are you planing a trip to the LHBS to get yeast? With out knowing what yeast you have I don't know what you can brew but here are some sugestions:

Saison- Pils & wheat or rye or both - maybe some munich for color
hop with Hallertau and S. goldings

APA or Rye pale ale- use pils base and any combo of crystal(including honey malt), caramunich, rye. Ase the American hops but I would think you would need more.

Maybe a Kolsh with the Pils ??

I vote on the saison

With the Munich and Pils you could make a Helles, or by using a yeast like Wyeast 3068 you can use the same grains and make a Dampfbier, heck, I might do a 10 gallon batch and split it, one a lager the other with the hefe yeast.

Saison is also a good idea, as is the Kölsch.

thanks for the ideas! i've been doing saisons all summer long and i'm looking for another style to try. Dampfbier sounds great... simple and easy. sounds like a great choice for summer brewing.

I really like it, it is easy to keep control of temps, I usually do a Hefe, wash the cake and use it to do a dampfbier and a roggenbier, I find this makes good use of the yeast without ending up with a ton of hefeweizen sitting around.
