Impromptu brew day. What can i brew?

Looking for ideas here with what i have on hand... just brewing a small batch on the stove since it's really windy here today. Looking to brew a 2.5-3 gallon batch.

Here's what i have on hand...
13 lbs 2 row
12 lbs irish stout malt
3 lbs munich
3-4 lbs vienna

And ramdom 1 lb already opened bags of roasted barley, flaked barley, honey malt, torrified wheat malt, chocolate malt, and a few ozs of amber malt.

I have some washed sa05, jasper magic ipa yeast, and jasper Belgian Abbey ale yeast.

I have random hops too. 1 oz chinook, 1 oz simcoe, some homegrown cascade, and some other high aa hop that i cant recall.

I was hoping for an amber of some sort. I know i can do an ipa and a stout but i have both of those in the primary now.

Decisions, Decisions....

 

Do a SMASH. I did a SMASH with Golden Promise and Simcoe recently. Turned out really good.

 

Fun! You may have already made your decision, but here's what I'd do with what you have for a 2.5 gallon batch...a sort of amber ale, I guess...

Mash @ 149F
3lb 8oz Vienna
1lb Munich
4oz Amber
2oz Chocolate

0.5 oz Cascade @ FWH
0.5 oz Cascade @ 10min
1 oz Cascade @ flameout

US-05

Should get you about 1.048-1.050 (depending on your eff), roughly 30 ibus depending on the alpha % of your homegrown Cascades (I calculated using 5.5% alpha), and middle of the color range for an American amber.

 

Thanks man. I am looking for an amber type beer. I haven't decided what im brewing yet but will within a few hours. I'll enter this into beersmith and see what it looks like. I appreciate it!!

 

Barleywine. 2 1/2 gallon batch.

 

What did you end up brewing?

 

I did a hoppy amber type beer. Nailed all the numbers according to beersmith

Three Day Weekend ale

3 gallons

5 lbs 2 row
2.5 lbs munich

.65 oz Jarrylo @ FWH (60 min)
.60 oz Simcoe- WP
.60 oz Chinook- WP

House blend yeast of Jasper magic IPA and washed sa05

Mashed @ 152 degrees for 60 min with 2.5 gallons (1.30 qts x 7.5 lbs of grist)
sparged with 2.5 gallons

FG: 1.066
IBU: 50

Looking forward to this one. Nice and easy brew I did while playing with the kids. I even used the no chill method as I have been for the past few indoor batches. I just put the lid on the kettle and come back the next evening. If I whirlpool hops, like I did in this one, I wait about 30-45 minutes until it gets down to 190-180 degrees and add the hops then.
