Beer brewing

My Hefeweizen should be ready to drink. One of my tasters felt that it was more similar to a Belgian Witbeer because it had a really high alcohol content. It is probably because I brewed it during a heat wave.

Home brew bottled

I just bottled my distressingly light colored Irish stout last night. I think that it darkened up quite a bit after I left it in my secondary fermenter for almost 3 weeks. Mostly through evaporation, I'm sure. Starting Specific Gravity: 1.050 Ending SG: 1.015

Here is a list of beers that I want to make at some point in my life:
Cream Stout
Chocolate Stout
Hefeweizen
Scotch Ale
Oatmeal Stout
Ginger Beer (gingery like Reed's)
Dortmunder
Java Stout
Dunkelweizen
Honey Brown Ale
Bitter (Red Dwarfish)
IPA
Cream Ale

I want to try to make Landesbier, this stuff that comes in a Red Stripe-like bottle that I had at a Klassentreff when I was living in Germany in my youth. It was sweet and refreshing. I'm sure it must have been an ale. It sounds easy to make.

I think that I will do a Cream Stout next so that I can make a black, dark as night beer.
