I've got the following laying around from a few odds and ends purchases lately and want to put together just a basic Amber - nothing fancy, but good tasting:
6.6 lb canned muntons amber LME
2 lb muntons crystal two-row malt
1 oz cascade pellets
1 oz chinook pellets
1 oz toasted oak chips (never used these before and am very skeptical)
3.3 lb each of Breiss Dark, Amber, Light LME
1 packet of basic dry ale yeast
I don't necessarily have to use all of this stuff. What I'm really looking to do is make a nice basic amber out of some of this stuff I have on-hand. The freshness of the yeast and hops are a little suspect as I got them from my brother and have no idea how old they are or how they were stored. But dry yeast is some pretty hearty stuff, right?
Anybody got a greative suggestion?
