What can I brew with this? An English Ale?
Any suggestions?

I wish I had some fruit, or something!

Best,

That combination would make a fantastic English ale, anything from a mild on up to an IPA.

My favorite English IPA is essentially that combo only with Fuggles instead of Goldings, but most people seem to prefer Goldings.

That by itself would make a great SMaSH beer. Or you can add any of the following to make a great English style beer: any Crystal malt, Victory or Biscuit, Roasted barley, Chocolate and Black patent.

Okay! Thanks guys. I went with those parts along with 1/2 oz Hersbrucker at 15min. Looking for something that has a nice hop at the finish.

So, the OG ended up being 1.038 which sort of blows. I added another 2lbs of corn sugar and got it up to 1.050, which I was hoping for. I'm not a big fan of weak beer.

6lb Liquid Malt Extract
2 lb Maris Otter
1/2oz Kent Golding 15min
1/2oz Hersbrucker 15min
1/2oz Maris Otter 5min (Correction: Kent Goldings!)
2lb corn sugar

Start: 1.050

End: We Shall See.

Best,
K

Um... 2 lbs is way too much simple sugar (IMO). I've done Belgians with 20% max, but you're sitting at 25% in an English style beer. To me, the beauty of English beers is there rich malt character... I think that much sugar would probably destroy any maltyness you had.

yeah this will be a pretty dry beer. Should have added dry malt extract instead of corn sugar, but I guess if thats all you had....

Yeah, oh well, live and learn. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let you know how it turns out. BTW, I added 12 teabags of Ambrosia Plum. Rare White and Green Tea blended with Strawberry leaves, Rose Petals and Plum. .
Should be interesting.

Is that a typo? Did you steep the Maris Otter, and for what temp and how long? Also, what was the temp of your SG reading?

And another question: what was your final volume of wort?

Also - What is the batch size? For a 5-gallon batch, i don't think it's possible to end up at 1.038 with 6lb LME. I think there might be a problem with the measurement.
