The Lineup

Being disappointed with the mediocrity of some of my more recent beers, I feel it necessary to produce some sort of permanent lineup of regular offerings, especially if I am to be moving my way into kegging in the coming months. I plan on moving away from brewing new styles until I have really pinned down these six previous brews, which I think demonstrate the best individual quality and comprise a healthy variety of styles:

Rachel - Amber Ale
Hannah - American Wheat
Annabelle - Scotch Rye
Eva - 10-Malt Brown Ale
Amarillo IPA
Bastogne Tripel

These are reconfigured all-grain recipes for each of these beers. Ideally, I would like to have each of these styles available at any given moment, and once I can accomplish that, I will start brewing new batches, as long as I have come to a final decision on each recipe. The overall problem is that after over 20 batches of beer, I have no set recipes, partly from spreading myself too thin over too many styles, and partly from moving so quickly from extract to all grain. I'd like to settle down with six original all-grain recipes for six outstanding beers, rather than 14 recipes for 14 sub-standard beers.
