So I am at a point in my home brew journey where I find that I have enough grains, hops and fresh harvested yeast to make a free beer. Below are the ingredients that I have on hand that i would like to use in my brew. Here are my questions to the group;
1) what should I use as my primary fermentable malt (2-row, 6-row, wheat, rye, etc...)
2) What style, if any, would this be the closest too.
3) Should I throw it all in, or use the ingredients in proportion to try and create a specific style?
Ingredients on hand:
GRAIN BILL:
Amber Malt - 1/4#
Chocolate Malt - 1/4#
Caramunich - 3/4#
Black Malt - 3/4#
Crystal 80 - 1/2#
HOPS:
Nugget - 0.5 oz
Willamette - 1.5 oz
Amarillo - 1.0 oz
Saaz - .25
YEAST:
Wyeast 1056 - harvested and washed
I would love to get some feedback from experience and knowledge of the flavor profiles of the ingredients to see what the best way to use my resources are.
