What do you fancy? You could use MO, Amber, Chocolate, Oats and Roast Barley to make a 1940s British Porter with an OG around 1.035 if that's what you're into.

Or you could give a got at a British strong ale, something along the lines of: 12lb MO, 8oz Amber, 6oz Crystal, 2oz Roast Barley. 1/2oz Warrior @ 60m, 2oz Willamette @ 20m. Use some flavourful yeast.

Probably looking at an IPA

Orfy's Hobglin II clone would use up about half of that list. Just don't put roasted barley in there. Sub willamette for fuggles, warrior or columbus for the styrian. Don't use the amarillo.

I've made this a few times. Delish.

For an IPA, I'd be looking at mostly Maris Otter with a little wheat, maybe some Vienna, maybe some Carapils. Use Columbus for the bittering charge, Amarillo for any late-additions in the boil, then a 4:1 mix of Amarillo & Columbus for the flameout/whirlpool and dry-hops.

Thanks!

Whatever you end up doing, please post the recipe you use, and then be sure to come back and let us know how it finished!

Ok. Here is what i made.... I'm calling it Hop-pourri
8oz Maris otter pale malt
4oz crystal malt
4 oz light Carmel malt
Seeped at 150-175'F for ~15mins
Added 9lbs dry malt extract and 1lbs corn sugar.
Boil for 60 mins.
-1/2 oz warrior hops @ 15mins
-1/2 oz williamette hops @ 30 mins
-2 tsps Irish moss @ 40 mins
-1/2 oz Columbus hops @ 60 mins.

Pitched wyeast 1056 American Ale

Will dry hop with 1/2 oz Amarillo hops.

Any thoughts, comments? This is my first time going off the cuff like this.
Hope I have a drinkable beer at the end.

Looks like a kind of barleywine. It's good you didn't add too much crystal malt. That would have been a very good one to use a few oz of amber malt.

Final gravity came out at 1.020 after starting at 1.080. I dry hopped with about 2.5 oz cascade leaf hops and 1/2oz Amarillo hop pellets.
I kegged this last night and took a small sample... It tastes great! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1451297935.052381.jpg
