Birthday brew order arrives, I open it up and.... what the hell? Instead of my czech lager ingredients, I have... Franco-Belges Coffee Malt.... 8oz citra... an auto siphon..... Northern Brewer sent me the wrong box. And they say I can keep it.
Help me make this into a recipe? I'm brewing tomorrow before leaving on holiday. The grains are already crushed. [BTW, does crushed black malt and the like last? Does it need to be used right away?]
Here's what I got (bagged separately):
1lb Black malt
1lb Franco-Belges Kiln Coffee malt
1lb Carabrown malt
3lb German Pilsner malt
1lb English Coffee Malt
(heck of a a grain bill)
8oz citra
2oz amarillo
2oz cluster
2oz czech saaz
And an auto siphon.
I've got a little bit of Marris Otter, Crystal 60L, Chocolate malt in the basement. Also: US-05, Wyeast 3068 (weihenstephen), and saflager 34/70.
Dark lager?
Stout vibe?
