Left over ingredient brew

[charlieboltman]

I've got some left over DME dark, and 2 different types of left over liquid malt extract. .
Left over ingredients?? Not sure my brother gave them to me and said something about a drunk squirrel attack lol. I quit asking

was thinkin about using it up..
however I will need to figure out my Hops on it..

here's my current left over inventory I want to use up..

3.15 #'s Dark Malt extract syrup
6#'s Pilsen malt extract syrup
1#'s DME briess trad dark

I was thinking of adding in some flaked oats to it as well to add some creaminess.
with all the the OG should be around 1.07
FG 1.017

overall its looking similar to a Belgian blonde though darker In SRM but I have some wyeast 3787 trapist yeast too that I figured I'd throw into it..

I'd like to be Milder on the hops and accentuate the yeast and malty flavors.
what do yall think for hops?

I'm partial to Chinook or Willamette @
1oz hops (60 min)
.5oz hops (15 min)
.5oz hops (0 min)

I'm not a huge fan of dark extract. If I had these on hand I'd drop the 3.15lb LME completely.

Keep the Pils, 1lb DME and keep the yeast. Then add 1/2lb special B and 1lb D-45 Belgian candi syrup. Modestly bitter with styrian and you'll have a nice dark Belgian ale using "mostly" whats on hand.

Just what I would do with what you have.

Yeah that doesn't look anything like a Belgian blonde as both the DME and dark LME will contain black malt and likely a good percentage of medium crystal like C-60. So the grainbill is more like an amber ale or Irish red, but that doesn't mean you can't make a Belgian ale with it. If you're not entering competition then it doesn't need to fit a style, or if you want a more traditional Belgian then go with Kickass's substitutions above. I agree with a mild or noble-like hop (one of the styrian varieties as mentioned above, or hallertau, tettnang, etc.). You could do it with just a single bittering addition to keep it under 30 IBU's, or that plus a small 5 minute addition of around 0.5 oz.
