I'd go Gala- the sweetest of the bunch, though I don't think I've ever had Pink Lady. Granny Smith are generally very bitter, so if that's what you use, I'd just make sure there's plenty of balance. Happy Brewing!

Wow! If MDDave means you're in Maryland, I may have found my new favorite bar! ;) But seriously, it looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Put your measuring utensil on a bathroom scale, note how much it weighs and then add sugar until you reach one pound more. Go from there.
