Tall order if you want me to include what I've already made, including beer, but I'll try.
Fermenting:
- Kolsch
Lagering:
- Oktoberfest
In Cellar (carboys and kegs):
- Dunkel - First lager!
- '09 Cellar Craft International Quartet Syrah (Shiraz) kit
- '09 Spiced Holiday Apple Wine
- WE Chocolate Raspberry Port kits (have 2 to make a 6 gallon batch. These were a huge hit as gifts last XMas, so I don't have much left from first batch)
- '09 Imperial Vanilla Bourbon Porter (saved some for wife after pregnancy)
- '09 Weizenbock (saved some for wife after pregnancy)
- Hard Apple Cider
- Irish Red Ale - Father-In-Law request
- '10 Imperial Vanilla Bourbon Porter for holidays and gifts
- '10 Hellion (Imperial Bourbon Oaked Stout to forget about in cellar for kid)
- '10 Holiday Belgian for holidays and gifts
- Milk Stout - also post-childbirth wife request
- Cellar Craft Showcase Austrian Gruner-Veltliner
- '10 Cru Select Platinum Semillon Sauvignon Blanc - Australia
In Kegerator:
- Angry Asphalt Porter
- Holiday Belgian Ale
- Belgian Golden Strong Ale
- English Brown Ale
- Dunkelweizen
- Dunkel - First lager!
- Old Ale
- Blond Ale
- Hard Apple Cider
- Cherry/Apple Cider
Plan to make this year:
- Big mead to forget in cellar for 21 years for kid
- '10 Spiced Holiday Ale for holidays and gifts
- Honey Blonde Ale
- '10 Cru Select RQ Alpine Foothills Italian Barbaresco
- If I have time (probably not), I want to try making sake now that I have a temp controlled fermentation environment.
- There will be plenty of other not-yet-planned beers, and a few wines/meads. I'd like to try a fruit wine, but I may not have time to get to that this year... we'll see. I'm hedging my bets on time assuming that I'll have a LOT less once my wife evicts the kid from her belly (in July, supposedly).
Made in the past (only listing each style once... I don't think you care how many batches of the same beer I've made. LOL):
- Kolsch
- Sweet Traditional Mead
- Medium/Dry Traditional Mead
- Cellar Craft International YAKIMA SYNERGY II white wine kit
- Selection Estate Washington Columbia Valley Riesling kit
- WE Chocolate raspberry port kit - First kit... kinda messed up, but saved with brandy fortification
- Milk stout
- Molasses Porter
- Oatmeal Stout
- Amber Ale
- Belgian Pale Ale
- Irish Red Ale
- Toasted Oatmeal Vanilla Bourbon Stout
- Chocolate Hazelnut Porter
- Chocolate Porter (hazelnut was too much, so tried again without it)
- English Bitter
- Cream Ale
- WE Vintners Reserve Pinot Blanc Kit (White cooking wine for wife)
- WE Vintners Reserve World Vineyard California Trinity Red (Red cooking wine for wife)
- '09 Masters Edition AllJuice Outback Shiraz 23L kit
- '09 Vanilla Cinnamon Mead
- Many versions of the same beers, slightly altered, while getting the recipes dialed in to where we really enjoy them.
- That's all I can think of for now...

So far, in order:
1 gallon batch of white concord from concentrate - got an infection and I poured it out
2 gallons of carrot - not very good, but I learned a lot from it. Bottled it last week.
5 gallons beaujolais from concentrate - still in carboys, tasted at last racking and it's pretty good.
3+ gallons blueberry - still in carboy - tasted after last racking and it is decent, but a little thin. I may mix with something.
1 gallon passion fruit/frozen dole's grape concentrate - in carboy, plan on making this sweet for the wife and others
3 gallons strawberry riesling - used riesling concentrate + 10lbs frozen strawberries. In carboy now.
3 gallons candy cane/niagra - In Carboy now
3+ gallons Blackberry Pinot Noir - 20 lbs frozen blackberries + can Alexander's Pinot Noir - In Carboy now
