Considering my next beer to brew...
which sounds better as a fall beer?
After this one I'm going to try a holiday-type brew, spicy christmas-like.


Red King Ale
Killian's Red is anemic compared to this. A nice brown-red ale and quite tasty.

Lots of hops, lots of malt. Plenty of flavor.
(recipe)

An Oatmeal Stout
Dark, rich, smooth. Think guinness but with flavor.
(recipe or recipe)

Try a cider...
Takes a long time (month+), I only have 1 fermenter so it'd be tied up. difficult.
(recipe)


I think I'm leaning towards the red ale, then a holiday brew, then in winter a dark stout.
opinions?

Dad used to brew Oatmeal Stout all the time and loved it. I personally am more of a Killian's-With-Oopmh fan. But I'm sure both will be good. What kind of holiday brews are you thinking about doing?

Mmmmm...

The "Winter Solstice Red Ale" here looks good. But really, I was only an occasional spectator in the brewing process, so I don't know whether some ales are easier to make than others, or whatnot.

This sounds awesome, so i vote for cider first, then this.

Well, ok, prone to explode is bad...*sigh indeed* The other choices sound tasty too. I change my vote to the King Red Ale.

I will have to take notes, as I have some desire to experiment with brewing in the home.
