I have been lurking in the dark reading many-a-thread here on HBT and learning a ton. I decided it was a good time to join.
My dad and I picked up homebrewing around christmas and I really got hooked, especially this summer when I started trying to make my own recipes instead of using others'
Unfortunately, we've come to realize that we're being pretty wasteful and picking recipes based on a style we want to make instead of what we have available. So, we obviously have a lot of stuff to use!
The problem is I haven't ever tried making a recipe based on what I have to use, only on what I could buy! I have a ton of stuff, especially hops. We are still rookies so stick to extract/steeping recipes.
If anyone has at least a style of beer, or even better, a full-blown recipe for us to use we'd love to try it out!!
Here's what we have:
Steeping Malts:
Vienna malt: 0.85lb
Cara 20 Belgian: 0.5lb
Light Munich: 0.75lb
Belgian Biscuit: 0.5lb
Briess 80L Crystal: 0.9lb
Special B: 0.25lb
Hops:
Willamette- 1oz
Cascade- .25 oz
Centennial- 1oz
German Tettnang- 1.25oz
German Hallertau- 1.5oz
Galena- 1.5oz
Hersbrucker- 1oz
Kent Goldings- .75oz
Columbus- 1.25oz
Who's got some creative thoughts flowing??!
