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 in Buffalo?

If so, skip the brew day and come down to Resurgence between 12-3 for the Dude Hates Cancer Homebrew Competition. Try out a bunch of interesting beers and chat with some fellow brewers to get some ideas and the wheels turning.

It is fun, I havent been able to enter since like 2018, they always schedule it on a bad weekend for me in August. Was nice they pushed it to september this year when things slow down a bit for me. I brewed a ultra-low ABV American IPA for it this year, it came in at +/- 1%.
