So, what am I going to brew. Well, I asked for suggestions and I have decided to do a series of three special beers.
Here's the plan:
#100 Imperial Stout aged over oak
#101 101 minute IPA using locally grown hops (a friend of mine has some nugget and cascade hops). I will incorporate those and other hops.
#102 A style I have never brewed before. I'm still not sure what I am going to do, but I'm leaning towards a dark lager or a double bock.
None of these beers will be ready for a few months. I must first formulate the recipes. That could take some time. Then after I brew them, they will all require a certain amount of aging. I'll probably be drinking them in March of 2010.

try some strong but lighter beer - it sounds like a contradiction but I had Sierra Nevada Summerfest recently and it was a very pleasant contradiction,
not ready for a few months huh?
you know what happens in a few months?
My birthday...
so if you feel inclined to have someone else taste test your lovely little creations, feel free to ship me a keg or two!
I am curious...do you use temperature control during fermentation?
Have you ever made a pumpkin ale? I was just thinking that would be cool for the upcoming festivities.
And why does it take almost a year to make?
j: I do now. I have a fridge in my garage with temp control and I am going to see if I can use a heater in it during the cold winter months.
Lisa: Yuck, I do not like pumpkin flavored anything except pumpkin pie. That's just one flavor I can't see entering my beer.
Darn, I was hoping to do some begging if you had.
