My boyfriend and I have recently taken up home brewing. For our first batch, we did an Irish Red Ale kit from Midwest. It's currently in secondary fermentation (moved there yesterday). Midwest actually accidentally send us a second Irish Red Ale kit by accident and they can't take it back so they just let us keep it... so we were wondering what we could make using the ingredients we have in there (plus a few extras that we could run out and grab at a home brew store we found nearby). We'd like to utilize whatever we can to start another, different, batch. We're open to any and all suggestions!
Here are the ingredients in our kit:
6 lb. Gold liquid malt extract
12 oz. Caramel 40L
2 oz. Special B
2 oz. Roasted Barley specialty grains
1 oz. Cascade
1 oz. Fuggle pellet hops
Yeast (Packet)
Also, what is the shelf life of these ingredients? The yeast has been in the fridge since we got the kit a few weeks ago.
Thanks!
