Mmmmm porter.... Whiskey porter at that! and also I love a nice tripel! My usual summer beers to brew are a Bavarian hefe, English mild, and some huge hopped IPAs for when the mood strikes!
I have a damned fine saison that someone has converted to partial mash I could share if you like that style of beer.
Looks good GrainReaper, would like to know what kind of hops do you use when brew IPA?
Thank you and Cheers

For an English IPA I prefer phoenix hops for bittering, and wilamette and East Kent Goldings for flavor and aroma additions.
As for a west coast IPA I prefer to do larger late hop additions of centennial and/or cascade for big time hop aroma and flavor. Granted there is substantially less bitterness in each ounce later in the boil, but the flavor trade off for using several ounces then is phenomenal!

I brewed the Pliny the elder clone last year, it had a total of 12.5 oz of hops for the 5 gallon batch
