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?

me no know.
Some kinda brew with lots of spices.
Like this with a little ginger thrown in too.

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.
