I am out of ideas what should I try to brew. I decided on some kind of ale with friends (they want to learn how to brew) but don't know what exactly should I try. Do you have some interesting recipies or some interesting ingredients what should I try. Thanks

Whatever you like to drink is the stock answer of course but I would pick a pale ale because they are pretty forgiving. Or if you are somewhere hot, like I am, a saison to lean into it.

edited to say as you are trying to show someone new and success is so motivating

if you want to experiment with something more unusual I totally understand, i'd like to take another crack at a gose. the first time I tried it came out undrinkably salty

I decided on Belgian golden ale, I couldn't find Kveik yeasts but found some Belgian style ale yeasts.
