Help me make a recipe with what I've got

[sappnasty]

Fellas,

Being the type of guy that I am, I bought a bunch of stuff from a brew store before researching anything...obvious total rookie mistake. However, instead of letting it sit and gather dust, tell me what I could make with what I have lying around. Here is what I've got...would love to hear your suggestions. And note, I love any beer really, so I don't really have a particular style I am going for.

3.3 lbs of Cooper's Light
3.3 lbs of Cooper's Amber
Safale US-05 dry ale yeast (pink/red packet)
Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale
Whitelabs Hefeweizen Ale Yeast WLP300
10oz of Cascade whole hops (6% AAU)
10oz of US Fuggle whole hops (4.5% AAU)
10oz of Newport (12% AAU)
10oz of Centennial (10% AAU)
6lbs Briess Bavarian Wheat DME

I bought the wheat DME and WLP300 with the thought of doing a Hefewiezen, but most of the recipes I found call for different DMEs, LMEs, Yeast and Hops. Any good recipe that would help me make a 5 gallon batch would be greatly appreciated. Plan to brew it on Monday.

Wheat IPA? That's a ton of hops. Sorry that I'm not any help. That's a lot of hops.

Check out beersmith software!!!

Huge help to you in making recipes.

I forgot to add that all of them are whole hops. And I got them for free Wasn't going to turn down free fresh whole hops! I will check out beersmith too...thanks.

I like the wheat IPA idea...the coopers and wheat extract is going to give you about a 1.07 OG. You probably want to get some crystal malt and steep it for some added complexity and body. Hop to your liking and use an ale yeast.

First thing I see is pale ale or amber ale.

Not a specific one for either of the beers. Take a look at the recipe section and taylor one to your tastes in strenght, bittering, and aroma hops.

Make some 1 gallon batches and see how that goes
