I have never just put a batch of beer together before, but last time at the HBS, I just threw what I thought sounded good all together in a bag. Any ideas from what I've got here as to how it will turn out and what style? I can tweak the water with burton salts and I have a few different types of hops in the freezer. Northern Brewer, Chinook, Mt. Hood, Centennial, Tettnang....
The HBS was out of american 2 row, so that's why the different malts:
5.5 lbs british 2 row
5.5 lbs belgian 2 row
1 lb cara-pils
1 lb 20L crystal
.5 lb flaked barley
California Ale WLP001 or American Ale WLP1056
Think of it like Iron Chef... what can I make? I can't change the grains.. they're already all in one bag.
I'm thinking of using all four ounces of Northern Brewer and the california ale yeast to make something like Liberty Ale.
Alles Cuisine!
