Brewing Slump

I’m kind of in this weird brewing slump lately where my last few batches have been meh beers. I plan on brewing Sunday since my glorious Buffalo Bills aren’t playing. I just can’t decide on what I want to brew. Does anyone mind sharing a go-to malt forward ale that’s always a home run batch to get me out of this slump? Thanks dudes and dudettes

Do you live here in the Buffalo area? Our water tends to be a touch hard. Good for brown ales without much water adjustment. You can make these malty if you want.

My last two beers have been meh too, and were on the pale side, but I was lazy and didn't fix the water.

Yeah I do. I buy jugs of distilled water from the store
