US Goldings Usage

[DocDriza]

I have 6-7 OZ of US goldings in my freezer. I would like to make something that is not called a stout. I have been trying to use the Google machine but I haven’t found what I’ve been looking for. I’m here to get suggestions on what I should make. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I've done ESBs with US Goldings that came out pretty tasty...

Cheers!

Those would make a great bitter. A recipe I like for a Best Bitter is
94% English Pale Malt (Maris Otter, Golden Promise, etc)
5% Caramel 60
1% Pale Chocolate
bitter to 30-40 IBU with Goldings FWH and then use a healthy dose of late addition Goldings (1-2oz per 5 gallons)
WLP002, S-04, or M36 yeast
1045-1048 OG

Thanks guys.

This is exactly the advice I was looking for that Google wasn't giving me. Never had or made an ESB. So looks like I've got something good to start with.

I have used Goldings to make Red Rye, Stout, Porter, and Blonde Ale. Think British-ey.

Yup, you can use them for just about anything, certainly any English, Scottish, or Irish style. It definitely does not need to be a stout, DocDriza. Bitters, browns, reds, ESB, porters, IPA, and stouts will all work just fine. Earlier American beers, even lagers, made use of Goldings hops. Try them in a CAP or a California Common. To my taste they are a bit courser than their British cousins so if I were using both I'd use the domestics for earlier additions.
