    An oatmeal stout and a double chocolate stout. It is winter time, I should have started these three months ago.

    those sound perfect for a winter beer. I actually have some Chocolate Raspberry Stout on tap from may. Perfect beer for a cool autumn evening.

    MMMM, chocolate raspberry sounds good. I think I will either be doing a CDA or the world famous "Dark Dookey" next. I do need to start thinking about a spring beer though. So much beer, so little time

    I think a barley wine might be in order for me.  I've never attempted the style but I'm pretty comfortable with my system these days.

    I'll probably use a Maris Otter base.

    Since may? Phuck I have issues then.
    A keg last me a week from the night that I tap it.

    My next brew will be a stout again but my last for awhile I've brewed 4 in a row trying to perfect a recipe. I took one and altered it to my liking

    I brew 10gal at a time, so it lasts a while. The big stout I've held on to since it is aging well. But we haven't had guests for a while, and the 30 gallons of beer I brewed that month have taken some time to work through.

    I plan on brewing a couple of batches next month. Baby is due and that means I'll take some paternity leave.

    I can't give you a "good" reason, but I use WL on everything because I'm familiar with the profiles and have always had good results.

    I think I'm gonna try an IPA with the malt bill of an English IPA but the hop profile of an American IPA.

    Maris Otter base malt and Cascade and Amarillo hops.

    I brew most of my APAs and IPAs like that, I use MO or 2 row with a bit of victory to get the profile of the MO. I find I like the toasty maltier flavor better than plain 2 row.

    The hops go just fine with it, give it a try and report back what you think!.

    I've got a DoppleBock brewed as an Ale on deck..... trying to decide now if I should go the decoction mash route or not.... It never seems to give that much to a brew... and it takes so much dad gum time.......

    I know... I know.... I like doing the calculations, I just hate the 8 hour brew days.....
    I've read so much conflicting stuff on if it actually gives any real benifit or not, that my head hurts... I may just talk the Old Lady into going shopping next Friday, so I can brew it right.
