+1 on the simple stout
+1 on EdWorts haus pale ale.

I do them both when the pipeline is low.

Is your Columbus Day IPA a quick cycle?

I haven't made an IPA yet but I have a kit for Blind Pig and I thought it was a slow cycle with lots of time in fermenter/secondary.
 
Probably but I'm just going to let it go as long as it can and filter and keg, it was a clone of sweetwater 420 that I modified by adding columbus hops and a mystery hop that I didnt know what it was from the exrtra's lol.
 
I turn around English Milds and Bitters in 8-10 days. I've done some american pale ales like that. An Irish Stout is pretty quick. Belgian Patersbier or a table Saison can be done in 10-14 days.

I brew a lot of session beers.
 
I've done several batches of this and I really like it. I usually keg it after 3 weeks. I just kegged a batch last weekend. It's a take on a Mild/Bitter.

It's a really good recipe. Give it a try.

Just watch your IBUs. Pride of Ringwood hops in the US are not the same as Pride of Ringwood hops in Australia. I found that out the hard way. :D
 
A simple full extract Bavarian wheat.
10 days, 20 dollars, 4.5 hours of work (depending on how many "inspiration" beers I have while brewing and bottling...), 5 gallons of beer. pure awesome.

Doing DME allows me to brew quickly after work on a week night and I have full carbonation and easy drinkability 10 days after brewing. A slice of citrus (I prefer pink grapefruit) and life is good. Perfect for when I need beer but don't have time to do a full grain .... rather home brewed DME than over priced mediocre store bought.

6 LBS Breiss Bavarian Wheat DME
1oz German Hallertau
1 package Safbrew S-33 Dry Wheat Yeast

Get DME mixed into boil water (I use 2.5 gallons for a 5 gallon batch size).
Once fully mixed and roiling boil is reached the hops are added as a 60 minute addition. Yeast starter is made and pitched per usual. Bottle a week later and priming sugar is added to reach a 3.9% carbonation rate (or about 1.03 lbs of corn sugar at 65 degrees). After three days I have a nicely carbonated, very approachable beer. Not only is this super fast, but the batch cost is only about $20 at my LHBS. Cheers!
