I have 50lbs of 2-row and a bunch of leftovers from brews of the past. I was looking to brew something with the leftover ingredients but I tend to go from recipes and have a hard time with just a bunch of ingredients. I don’t want this stuff to go to waste. Any Ideas? I can get my hands on just about any yeast (ale). Thanks in advance for any advice. Looking to do a 10 gl. batch.
Grains
1 lb Melanoidin
1/2 Lb Breiss Crystal 40
3 lb. Munton Wheat
1.5 Carahell
1 lb Carafa Spec. I
1/2 lb rye
1/2 lb dark crystal
1/4 lb carapils
1/2 lb caraamber
1/4 lb special b
1 lb caraf II
Hops
8 oz N Brewer 9.5%
8 oz Centeniall 9.2%
1/2 oz cascade 6%
2 oz hallertau 3%
3 oz willamett 4.8%
1 oz challenger 7%
And there’s a lot of different roasted malts there. No way I would put all those or even most of those in one beer. Maybe plan 2 different brews with the same base malt and hop schedules, but using a different combination of crystals in each.
You could do a pale ale. I made an example in Hopville for you. I assumed your hops are pellets, your efficiency is 75% so you will need to adjust those things for your system.
(I’m assuming you’re not trying to use up all those things in the same beer so just picked some of what you had.)
