Hi all,

Over the past few months I made the switch to all-grain and have brewed three beers already. Problem is (well not really a problem), I have lots of random grains and hops laying around that I would like to put to good use. Could some of you more experienced brewers give me some ideas for some small batch recipes I could do (1-3 gallon)? Or if I even have anything worth making at all?? Or possibly adding something to make a recipe?

Thanks for that advice and help! Cheers.

Grains:
12 oz. Pilsner
10.5 oz Caramunich I
12 oz Aromatic malt
14 oz Acidulated malt
8 oz rice hulls
8 oz maltodextrin

Hops:
1 oz Chinook
0.75 oz Perle (5.3%)
0.75 oz Spalt (3.5%)
0.5 oz Target
0.5 oz Cluster
1 oz Willamette
0.5 oz US Golding

Also have 10 oz light dry malt extract
 
With only 12 oz of Pilsner malt and 10 oz of DME I think your limited to one gallon max.

Maybe an ounce or two of aromatic also, and a few pinches of hops.

Not sure about the hops....but with what you have I think your looking at a gallon of lawnmower beer, that's not a bad thing.
 
All of that looks like you add 8lbs of some base malt and do a kitchen sink beer, just put it all in. Or plan a few different beers and use it up in a few different beers.

The maltodextrin could work in a stout, the chinook and perle work good for bittering hops, Golding is good for a stout or porter, willamette is good in a German style or wheat. Designing great beers is a good read and could help you figure out what to use that stuff in.

Just plugged the info into brewer's friend along with caramunich I. Looks like an Irish red ale may be the way to go. Sound like it would be tasty with some US goldings?
