Out of ideas.....What would you brew?

[Native302]

OK so I've ran into a block on brewing ideals and am reaching out to the fellow homebrewers for some input. BTW I do not have laggering capabilities at this point.

What would you brew?

Grain Inventory:
55lbs French Pilsner
55lbs American 2 row
40lbs White Weat malt
45lbs Flaked Corn
50lbs Flaked Rice
45lbs Rye malt
50lbs Vienna malt
40lbs Munich malt
16lbs Crystal 15
60lbs Golden Pale LME
55lbs 6 Row
55lbs Marris Otter
2lbs Honey Malt
5lbs Melanoiden
1lb Special B
2lbs Crystal 120
5lbs Rice hulls
There are probalby other grains, but I can't remember what they are cause I'm at work now.

Hops Inventory:
3lbs Willamette, whole
9oz Cascade, whole
4oz Amarillo, whole
1lb Hallertau, mittlefreu (spelling??)
1lb Cascade
1lb Tettanger
1lb US Golding
1lb Saaz
1lb Simcoe
8oz Sorachi Ace
3oz Centennial
2oz Magnumn
2oz Perle
2oz Styrian Golding
1oz Palisade
There are various <1oz hops that I don't remember

Yeasts Inventory:
Irish Ale
Farmhouse Ale Blend
San Diego Super Yeast x2
Brett C
Pacman
California Ale (wlp001 and 1056) $h!t ton
Biere de Garde
French Saison 3711
Dogfish Head Mystery X
Bastgone
Trappist Blend
And I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

I really have too high of an inventory and need to brew ASAP. The Poll is for what I enjoy to drink but have yet to brew this year. All other comments and ideas are welcome!

Cheers Native

If I was you, I'd make some sort of Scottish 80 (or a wee heavy 90) schilling. Probably b/c I haven't done one yet and always wanted to.

 

[KFH]

I say go big or go home: make the absolute biggest batch of beer your equipment will allow.

 

[Tinga]

simcoe and cascade pale ale.

 

[Joker]

First things first, I hate you...... but in a I really wish I had your problem kind of way. I voted barleywine because I really like them and it should be ready for the colder months when they go down best.

 

[Boleslaus]

Sam is that you?

How'd you amass such a large stockpile?

 

[Native302]

I can brew 10 gallons at a time, unless it's a high gravity beer like my RIS that used 26lbs of grains with an SG of 1.125 and finished a 1.020 and it's aging on port soaked oak spirals now. Then I'm limited to 5 gallons at a time.

 

[Native302]

simcoe and cascade pale ale.

I do an all Cascade pale ale that is amesome, similar to EdWorts Haus Pale Ale. Thanks for the backbone Ed!

No it's James........Sam is out at the moment...

Group buys are hell.

So try making a bigger beer than that monstrosity of an RIS.

 

[Native302]

Maybe I should try a 25% 2 gallon barleywine that I could ferment in my corny...

 

[jafo28]

With that inventory you should open a LHBS.

 

[spyder2723]

Hmm put it all in a big pot and shoot for the moon as far as gravity. Then add fruit, and vanilla, and chocolate, and maybe a steak .

For real, a wee heavy, or a Pliny the Elder.

I cant believe you need help deciding what to brew. Looks like you have enough inventory to brew any ale you want. If it was me I would just close my eyes and point. Random beer goodness

I can decide but it's more fun to hear everyones comments and suggestions. I'm prob gonna do a IIIPA, a farmhouse saison w/Brett, an Orval clone,
A wee heavy......then will see from there

 

[passedpawn]

Whenever I can't decide what's next, I go hoppy.

Hops are always the default answer. I vote APA / (I)(I)IPA.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

I voted for a couple (IIPA, Barleywine and Pale) but now I'm thinking I should have voted all of them.

So now I'm thinking you should do a BREWATHON this weekend and do the omitted selection in the poll: "All of the Above."






.... at least that's what I would do given your "problem"

Yeah I,m gonna brew on Thursday and Monday. A hoped/dry hoped Belgian triple with two grains and table sugar, a saison w/Brett, and a smoked Oaked pale ale. Just went threw all my inventory and found smoked malt, victory malt, roasted barley, caramunich, biscuit, and aromatic.

God I've got a lot of grains!

Sounds like party time for grain weevils.

lol, I'd have an infestation!

 

[passedpawn]

So, that yeast is more than 7 months old?

 

[bullinachinashop]

I have a few session beers on tap right now and am really enjoying being able to drink a larger quantity.
My suggestion would be a blonde, a mild, and a wheat.

[mlg5039]

An iipa sure would use the most stuff.

 

[bottlebomber]

A quadruple, an IIIPA, a barleywine, a wee heavy....and...and...

Jesus H, how on earth did you let yourself end up with 600 lbs of grain. Just buy a small swimming pool, throw everything in and mash it. Then open ferment in another swimming pool with all the yeast.

Don't forget to make a starter in your bathtub.

 

[birvine]

I think a SMASH is a cool idea. Experiment with a hop you don't really know.

[bwomp313]

perfect time of year for saison!!!!

 

[kenlock]

Parti Gyle - Barleywine and Old Ale....or IIPA and Pale Ale

Ferment large beer (5 gal) in corny and small beer (10 gal) in your fermenter.

Then a saison whilst it's still warm/hot.

 

[prrriiide]

I say throw out the style guidelines and do some experiments. Do something bold...do a 1.100 saison and drop a citrus hop bomb into it and throw some tangerine peel into the secondary. Or maybe a CDA with the farmhouse yeast and all noble hops? Or a rye porter? If I had that inventory, I'd be going all mad scientist in the brew house...let your palate be your guide!
