Stout sounds good. I'd rather it be an ale than a lager, as I only have one fridge, and I can either put kegs in it or lager in it, but not both simultaneously. If the group decides on a lager, I can accommodate, but ales are easier.

Agreed on an ale, im not suited for lagers just yet.
And you can stone me later for this, but I dont have THE BOOK yet. Soon. But if we do someone could PM the recipe if need be.
Everyone getting the same hops will be kind of difficult due to the % variances. Then you'd be changing the amounts to accommodate the IBUs, so they wouldnt all be the exact same. did I just contradict myself. Either way I'm in for the ride. Its just another excuse to brew for me!

I am in, a stout, porter, or brown ale are all low hop beers that could be easier for everyone to brew the same beer. Let me know so I can plan it into my brew schedule.
on tap: horse feed oatmeal stout, brown porter, honey pale.

In Reserve: oaked imperial amber, dopplebock, imperial IPA,baltic porter.

In fermentors: Imperial stout, APA, brown porter, american brown ale, belgian pale.

I don't vote dry stout. You can't get a dry stout right without beergas. If you carbonate it normally, the dry stout becomes an almost totally different beer.

I vote Brown Ale. I was planning on brewing one anyway.

Brown sounds good to me. I've already got a stout and a porter in my kegs right now, so a brown would be good.

(I was one of the guys on RealBeer that helped organize theirs).

I vote against dry stout because you really need flaked barley to do it right, and that means partial mash or AG.

I just did a brown ale recently, but will go along if that's what every body else wants.

How about a Scottish -70? Easy, low hops, plenty tasty, and it'll show off a style that many newer brewers don't try right off the bat...
