Don't close this! All of you minors stay out this is a bunch of "of-age" people talking about another hobby! Now that that's out of the way.
I really want to start brewing this summer when I get a house, as I've helped my dad and a couple of buds brew a few times. I'm more into stouts (especially oatmeal... mmmm), maybe we should find out all who brew and swap recipes. I have a couple of my dad's that are delicious.

Try St Peters Cream Stout, Stone's Smoked Porter, Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter and their Oatmeal Stout, Young's Oatmeal Stout, Barny Flat's Oatmeal Stout, Clipper City's Peg Leg.....These are some of my fav darkies...
Have you tried Stone's IPA? Man, you can crack that mother in a room, and smell it 30 feet away. Also, Dogfish Head's 90 minute or 120 minute IPA...That beer is a MONSTER!
Oh yea, and for you other "fine" beer drinkers: www.beeradvocate.com Best beer site on the web, hands down.
I used to brew beer, but I found I could never make anything as good as I could buy.
One thing about honey beers is that they ferment very fast, watch out that you don't blow your airlock!
I like extremely hoppy brews, the more hops, the better! Dogfish 120 is one of the best out there, I also like Red Nectar IPA a lot. My staple is Bridgeport IPA.
I have a feeling this thread will be closed, but I wish it weren't. It seems like an adult discussion of craft brews is not encouraging underage drinking, but what do I know? About a year ago a Mod started a thread on "favorite beers", it disappeared without a trace...
I hear you can make an acceptable mead without fancy equipment. A guy I knew in college brewed a few gallons in his dorm for the Medieval Studies reception.
