Ok friends,
Challenge for you. I have a bunch of leftover grains from my last several brews, def enough to brew something up without having to buy new stuff. I need ideas though. Here is a list of the grains I have right now.
Parameters: 5 gallon recipes preferably, but am about to transition into 10 gallon brewing so I am open to that too. Would like to avoid buying anything for the brew, but am willing to if it is the difference of completing a great brew or not.
Grain:
1.75 lb Munich 10
12 oz Caramel 60
1.75 lb Roasted Barley
8 oz Dark Wheat
8 oz Chocolate
2 oz Medium Crystal
9 oz of something called "black" can't honestly remember what it is. VERY dark roasted grain though.
45 lbs 2 Row
45 lb Maris Otter (sp?)
Hops:
8 oz Cascade hops
2 oz Sterling
.5 oz Magnum
.5 oz Golding
.5 oz Nugget
Yeast:
US-05
So that is what I got. I am very open to getting a different yeast as well. I am able to Lager if need be, but rarely do.
I would like to point out, I am NOT a huge fan in general of Stouts and Porters. I mean, I like em, but usually in small doses so I rarely make 5 gallons of them. That being said, I realize I have several dark grains there so am not opposed to making one if the recipe is good enough, or I just need to use up grains.
I like English beers in general, and also am a hop head.
SO, let your ideas fly, and lets see what we get?!
