I'm back at homebrewing after a break over the last half of the fall semester due to a lot of work to do. However, I have come into possession of 18 lbs of light DME due to a colleague and her husband moving and giving up brewing for a short time.
So I have something like 20 lbs of DME waiting to be made into beer, and have a hodgepodge of grains and hops from him and my own stash, with no real set style to brew.
I have:
Probably 6-9 oz each of: Caravienne, Caramunich, Crystal 50*L, Coffee malt, and black roasted barley.
For hops I have: 1 oz 6.9% AA Cluster pellets, 2 oz whole Kent Goldings, and some wild hops that I've been meaning to use.
I can probably get basic hops at my sorta LHBS, but nothing too out of the ordinary, but nothing really in the way of specialty grains.
Anyone have any suggestions on a recipe I could use with these ingredients, I'm contemplating a mutt beer, but the 6.9% AA hops and Kent Goldings won't get me far in bitterness.
