    I have some ingredients laying around and am bored! I was going to throw them all in the brew pot and hope for the best. What do you all think? OR what would you do with these ingredients. All of them combined gives me a gravity of 1.042 and an ABV of 4.1%. Not bad for some stuff just sitting in my closet!

    So here it goes:

    1 lbs. 13 oz. Light DME
    1 lbs. 8 oz. British Brown Malt
    12 oz. Gambrinius Honey Malt 20L
    12 oz. Roasted Barley
    10 oz. Chocolate malt
    8 oz. Red Wheat
    6 oz. Crystal 120L
    4 oz. Crystal 80L
    4 oz. Victory Malt
    2 oz. Black Patent Malt

    1 oz. Galena Hops
    0.5 oz. Nugget Hops
    0.5 oz. Centennial


    Any ideas?

    How big of a batch? It seems like too much specialty malt for the small amount of extract to me.

    Seems like a lot of Honey malt.

    Well, I wanted to do 5 gallons if possible. I'll take whatever advice you guys can give about what to do with this stuff.

    I think I would cut the roasted barley out completely, use about half the honey malt, and make a smaller batch so you get an og of 1.055 to 1.060. Still might be a little too strong on the chocolate malt but give it a shot and send me a bottle.
