New to Beermaking - recipe question (repost from alt.beer)

Hi all, Just brewed 4 cases - 2 of ipa and two of stout - my first time! Good fun!

I've only tried the stout after a week in the bottle and the ipa pre-bottling. I'm tentatively disappointed in the body of the beers - they're a bit thin. Any advice on this?

I'd also appreciate any recipe suggestions, links, etc. I'm a fan of the following brews:

Stone IPA & Ruination any Sam Smiths brews Boont Amber Ale Harp Lager Old Peculiar Guiness Hennepin Leffe Wicked Summer

Overall, I just want to brew something with strong character. Also, any book suggestions would be welcome. We're using my friend's setup, doing single stage (thus far) w/o racking and bottling afterwards.

Thanks, Phil
