My story is that my closest LHBS is 3 1/2 hours away, so I tend to purchase bulk quantities of ingredients so I don’t need to wait to travel near a LHBS or wait a week or more for online orders to ship and arrive.
So, I find myself with extra ingredients and trying to make them fit a recipe.
And my brewing experience is not enough to wing it, and come up with my own.
Wondering if there is a data base of recipes that can be searched by ingredients that I have on hand.
I currently have 50 pounds of extra pale 2 row and some white wheat, honey, rye, American Carmel, American carapils and American goldpils/vienna malts.
Other ingredients include some honey, lemon grass, ginger, coriander seeds and dried orange zest or peel.
Also have a variety of hops that I bought in bulk and vacuum sealed in smaller quantities, as well as more than a few packs of dry yeasts including US-05, S-04 and Nottingham as well as some cider and wine yeasts.
Most of these ingredients have been around a while, but stored in freezer, fridge or cool basement.
I used to play around with brewing, wine and cider making quit a bit, but haven’t in a while due to family health issues, retirement and several moves/relocations.
I’m open to ideas on how to best use what I have on hand to make some easy drinking recipes including SMASH recipes just in time for summer!
Sorry for the long winded post and thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter.
