So I have two extract brews under my belt. The first one not so great, but it is getting better after sitting in the bottle. The second is the 15 Minute Pale Ale recipe and is pretty good. My question is this: should I do a couple of easy brews or should I try my hand at a Belgian Tripel or Russian Imperial Stout. My first two were about 5% ABV and I kind of want to make a 9% or 10%. Is this wise to do after two brews and should I refine my techniques or should I dive in and make a challenging brew?
