Looking for ingredient specific recipes

Hi all
I'm a new all-grain brewer and was recently gifted about 50lbs of specialty grains from a local micro-brew (I do all of their refrigeration work) I was wondering if there was a website or app where I could punch in the type of grains I have and it can spit out some recipes.

if you post a list of the grains/malts, I'm sure people here would give you great ideas!

Ok well here goes!

1lb- Munich malt (light)
2lb- Pilsner malt
1lb- Rice hulls
6lb- Pale wheat malt
1lb- Crystal 40 malt
1lb- Crystal 75 malt
1lb- Crystal 15 Malt
2lb- Cara Vienna malt
2lb- Toasted rye flakes
2lb- German Pilsner malt
1lb- Carabeige malt
2lb- Briess Carmel malt
5lbs- Carapils malt

There you have it!! So actually 27lbs of grains. Any ideas?

If you go to brewersfriend you can search with filters on your ingredients.

Well half of what you have is caramel/crystal malt so you're going to have to space those out among a number of batches. You could brew a wheat beer - say all 4 lb of pilsner, 4.5 lb of wheat, and 0.5 lb of C-15, caravienne, or carabelge to use up some crystal (that is Carabelge, right?). Could sub in some rye if you like.

+1 on a wheat beer. You may have to invest in a little base malt to use up that much specialty grains.
