I’m stumped on what to brew next weekend.  Either a 10 gallon ale or a five gallon lager.  I’ve already got two kegs of German pils, a keg of dunkel, and an ipa & bock that will be in carboys.  I’ve got about 14 lbs of maris otter, 40 lbs of best pils, bunch of different crystals, 4 each of Munich and Vienna. For hops, magnum, hallertau and centennial.  Yeast-  wy 2124, 2206 and US 05.  Maybe some amber ale?  Or a dortmunder?  Open to any other sugestions.  Thanks! ---

Guess I didn’t help you decide. Maybe amber ale since you already have pils on tap. ---

Yeah I’ve got a great amber recipe.  Maris, Munich, crystal 65 and a bunch of centennial.  Next time I make it I wanna try fwh.    By all means, give me the dortmunder recipe.  Been thinking about one of those for awhile ---

I would get a Saison going so you could have it ready by summer. Just my 2 cents worth  ;D ---

I’ve been thinking Vienna lager. I don’t have a recipee. I do have the guide lines.; The Association of Brewers defines the beer class Vienna lager as a reddish brown or copper colored beer with medium body and slight malt sweetness. The malt aroma and flavor may have a toasted character. Hop bitterness should be clean and crisp. Noble-type hop aroma and flavor should be low or mild. As with most lagers, fruitiness due to esters is a defect. Diacetyl, which can impart a butterscotch aroma and flavor, should not be perceptible. Vienna lager Country of origin Austria Yeast type Bottom-fermenting Alcohol by volume 4.5% - 5.7% Color (SRM) 10 - 16 Bitterness (IBU) 18 - 30 Original Gravity 1.046 - 1.052 Final Gravity 1.010 - 1.014 ---

With all that pils and Hallertauer, I’d go get some Belgian yeast and brew a tripel. ---

I may try and figure out that wiki thing and then just post a link, but that may be too technologically advanced for the likes of me. ---

This is the season for brewing Miabock.  Here’s a good recipe from Braukaiser: [Maibock - German brewing and more](http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php?title=Maibock)
