What's your next brew

Are you using the Guinness yeast strain with that? If so, your timing is going to be pretty close for a certain holiday.

Of course! The Stout is conditioning, brewed it 2 weeks ago. Used the slurry from the stout for the Ale. So I should have 2 Irish beers ready to roll by that “certain holiday” :)

I need to do another oatmeal porter one of these days with the WLP004 too. The last one was tasty as hell.

Or some single hop Pale Ales with S-05:)
We have somebody in town that does those during the summer, and they really helped me deciding what hops I liked and disliked. I just like those beers anyway. Hoppy, light, and 5%, how can you go wrong? Hops are kind of hard to hide when all you are using is American 2 Row and a small amount of Crystal 40.

Pale ales are great, but I've been perfecting my golden ale recipe for a couple years. It's lower alcohol but just as hoppy, and there's no crystal which can sometimes cover up subtle hop flavors

It's a dry Irish stout kit that comes with Imperial Darkness yeast strain. It's got 1 lb of roast barley and 50 IBUs, so I'm guessing bitter

50 is a bit bitey, but not too bad if balanced with a good malt. I’m finding that I’m leaning toward slightly higher IBU on ‘sweeter’ beers. Will be interesting to see the results. The barley should put a really nice head on it.

Great yeast. I’m using that now. I use 10% roast and 40 ibu and never thought it was too bitter. Just “right” for the style
 
I am thinking that I might brew something that I haven't done before, maybe an American Imperial Stout at 8% or greater. Thinking that I will brew it now, then condition in a keg until December. Maybe add some bourbon, or coffee, or both...
 
I'm thinking of another beer on Voss trub.
Same grains (wheat & pilsner malt) , same hops. Just some ginger instead of the lemongrass/lemon peel/kaffir lime leave combo.
Or maybe "plain". Just grains & hops
