What's your go-to-homebrew?

My Special Bitter:

1.040 OG
IBU: 25-30

3kg MO
0,30kg Crystal 60
0,25kg Invert (or cane sugar or other sugar)

60min bittering addition (I'm using Phoenix now, used to use Target)
0min 15g Fuggles OR Goldings

English yeast

In the last 10 batches I have brewed, at least 7 have been some form of this bitter or something close to it. I'm always tweaking the recipe somehow based on the previous brew and the yeast I'm using (I'll use more sugar with less attenuative strains, for example). Last batch of this I brewed, I added some black barley for a deep copper color and used Bramling Cross for bittering and aroma.

It's based on Bob's recipe for ordinary bitter (he uses 80/10/10 MO/crystal/sugar, I use a tad more base malt).

So far it's been this one posted by Cheesefood:

It's the one I've had a hard time keeping in the fridge either from my girlfriend, my friends or me knocking a few back.

Kölsch

Crispy, clean, spicy. All of the lager goodness without the lager fussiness. Kölsch is always in my lineup.

American Pale Ale with columbus, cascade, and centennial for hops and 2-row and Crystal 40 for malt.

Summertime...Biermunchers Tale of 3 Grains cream ale...always a hit with everyone...
Especially me!!!

 

[mcritchlow]

my house pale ale with cascade/columbus/citra all late hopped. i've made it about 5 times (only been homebrewing a little over a year) and it's consistently a favorite even with those that don't usually like hoppy beers. lately I've been upping the 10 and 0 min additions a bit higher http://hopville.com/recipe/624884/american-pale-ale-recipes/caliban-pale-ale

Cream of 3 crops?

My house brown ale is a favorite with everybody - even those who "hate dark beer."

My house ESB, tweaked it over several batches so far and I think I have a winner now. Plus it's simple and fast from grain to glass:

Target OG: 1.051
Target FG: 1.013
Target ABV: 5.0%

Fermentables
UK Pale Ale Malt 9.0 lb
US Caramel 60L Malt 12.0 oz
Belgian Biscuit Malt 8.0 oz

Hops
US Cascade 0.75 oz 60 Min
US Cascade 0.75 oz 15 Min
US Cascade 0.75 oz 5 Min
UK Golding 0.50 oz In fermenter

Yeast: Wyeast 1318-London Ale III

Water Profile: Burton-On-Trent (UK)

Mash @151F for 60 min w/mash-out

 

[jjbuckler]

Mine's super easy:

5lbs of pilsen DME (or equivalent LME)
.25lb carapils
.25lb crystal 20
1 oz hallatauer 60 min
1 oz liberty 20 min
US-05 dry yeast

Ferment cool around 66F. Let it sit in the primary for 3 weeks, then keg and serve
Sometimes just to be a little different I'll dry hop it, or switch the liberty out for another hop (eg, Northern Brewer or Tettnang). Every now and again I will switch the US-05 with a Belgian Yeast, which gives it a little spice. Carb it 2.5-2.7

Its easy-peasy, all the family and friends love it. I think I brew it 4-5 times a year now.

Yes, LV, Cream of 3 Crops

 

[Boodlemania]

I brew a modification of the orange/coriander/cascade recipe found here in large quantities as it's a crowd pleaser. Always try to keep 1-2 kegs of this in reserve.

For me, it's a bavarian weisbier step-mashed, fermented at 63F with WLP300.

The only beer i've brewed more than once is Austin Homebrew's Greenbelt Pale Ale, its delicious!

Although, I have made the Graff Cider a couple times but the first time I made it dry and the second time I made it backsweetened and force carbed so its hardly the same thing.
