I want to improve my lagers even further and work on a good bitter and oatmeal stout recipe.

I want to nail down a house Pale Ale and IPA. Honestly those two styles I have had the most trouble with. I love my dark beers and English styles. New for this year I have given thought to an Altbier, Kolsch and maybe a Dunklewizen for the summer.

I need to try to make a good Belgian dubbel. Had one for the first time a year ago, but never quite got around to making some last year.

Sunday's Brew Year Saison.  Part of it went to top off a 15 gallon brett Saison barrel, the rest is humming right along in my conical:

I'm going to do IPA version 5.  Finally getting ot where I want it.
Imperial Stout with Port soaked Oak. It will be gifts for next Christmas
My last Kolsch was so fantastic, I'm going to brew more of it.  So basic, yet I couldn't get enough of it.
Always wanted to make a Troegs Mad Elfish beer.  Never had it, but it sounds good.

The brew calendar I worked out for this year includes a lot of smaller batches of several new styles for me. I want to make a couple different Viennas, a Dort/Helles Export, 2 alt recipes (Denny's from Zum Uerigue, and again with a couple tweaks from HoosierBrew,) a doppel, a Czech dark lager, and a Czech premium lager. I also am planning on doubling up my brew days to handle the extra batches while still only brewing about 12-15 days. I dont want another 3.5 month break from an overload of on hand homebrew like I did in 2015 (and I did not even come close to the 18 times I wanted to brew last year!
