Random brew day question..

[spriggan486]

Ok so, I am sitting here at my desk at work and I all of a sudden got the urge to brew today but i don't have really any worthy ingredients at the moment... I have like 5 pounds of random DME.. 3lb extra light, 1lb dark, and 1lb wheat.. and a couple OZ of hops just laying around doing nothing... is there anything worth while I could do with it?

 

[Mista_Sparkle]

well, it looks like it would make beer. not sure what though

 

[spriggan486]

That's what im thinking man.

The world is your oyster.

You could go through your spice cabinet and add something unique from that. Maybe a Cinnamon stick or some nutmeg 1/4-1/2 of a nut ground I'm guessing

Mix it in a pot and make it hot.

as long as you got some yeast I say go for it, you might make something completely new and awesome. I did my first two batches completely off the cuff and they both came out really good.

 

[spriggan486]

Yeah, im just gonna throw it all together and see what comes out. I'll drink it regardless of how it tastes ha

Frankenbrew!

Sounds like a nice light english brown ale if you don't hop it up too much. And if you do...call it an Amber Ale! Cheers!
