Got 2 oz. of Northern Brewer and 1 oz. of Willamette.

Not sure what I'm in the mood for, thinking of something with Vienna and or Munich as the main malt players........

Would Victory and/or Crystal malts be overkill if using Vienna as the base malt?

Let's hear some grain bill options! (5.5 gallon, all-grain)
 
What kind of beer to you want? I just did a Best Bitter with those hops, based on Yeoman Special Bitter in the recipe database. It's good, but no Vienna/Munich.
 
^ I might use the grain bill from my California Common for a pale ale, but I'm undecided and open to suggestions.
For some reason I have been thinking of Vienna, but have never used more than a few pounds in a batch before.

Suppose the only requirement is that it will be an ale, and I'll want to use dry yeast.
 
Alright, decided to go with Vienna as a base malt. Beersmith is currently not working on my computer for whatever reason so here is what I'm thinking:

5.5 Gallon Batch:
10# Vienna - choices at my LHBS are Durst or Briess, I'm leaning toward Durst
1/2# Crystal 40 or 60 - Briess
1/4# Chocolate - Dingemans

1 oz Northern Brewer @ first wort hop
1/2 oz Norther Brewer @ 15 min
1/2 oz Northern Brewer @ 5 min
1 oz Willamette @ 1 min

That looks mighty fine.

Agreed! Damn fine. Northern Brewer/Willamette is a winning combo.

Yes, though I think Willamette is the winner as the aroma addition.

Wifey described Christmas Tree Ale (above) as tasting like "a cherry pine tree, but in a good way!"

That recipe looks as good as the one posted by the OP, and I couldn't agree more about Willamette. I use it more than any other hop. It shines particularly well in dark beers; I usually go with a 10 minute addition.
