I’m new to homebrewing and made a beer with ingredients I had left over from my previous brews. Any ideas as to what beer style this fits into?

(4 lbs 12 oz Rahr 6 row),
(2 lbs 13 oz pale malt, marris otter),
(1 lbs Cara-pils/dextrine),
(12.8 oz victory malt),
(10.4 oz Munich malt),
(9.6 oz crystal malt 80L),
(8 oz chocolate malt),
(1.5 oz east kent goldings 60 minutes),
(1 oz ekg 10 minutes),
(34/70 yeast)

OG - 1.057
FG - 1.017

It's not really to any style in theory but I'd b more inclined to take a guess at it after tasting it.

Malt and hops looks like an English Brown bordering on Porter but both of those tend to want way more ester character than 34/70 would provide.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Maybe a light chocolate porter?

Maybe you’ll start a new style…

When I try random recipes I put everything in my BrewFather app and it gives some suggestions based off a percentage match. I don't know enough to say how accurate this method is so take it with a grain of salt.

Session Baltic Porter

 

[lumpher]

I'd be inclined to call it a Brown Ale.

Reduce the cara, crystal 80 & chocolate to a 1/4 pound each and shoot for a California Common. Mash at 150-152, ferment at 63. Not sure how good the EKG will work, but....

Never declare your beer until you taste it.

I did the same thing and put the Recipe into BrewersFriend.com and it will give you the styles that the recipe falls into. Then you can adjust it after looking at the BJCP guidelines.

Free yourself from the need to conform to styles. Just make beer.

That’s the best advice yet.

Just make beer.

It's good to have goals...

 

[duncan_disorderly]

Session Baltic Porter

That was my thought too.

 

[Broothru]

Pre-Prohibition Dunkel?

 

[AlexKay]

That's >10% Carapils. Briess suggests 1-5% of the grain bill. I suggest 0%.

It's good to have goals...

It is.
Goal: Use up ingredients.
Method to complete: Make a beer with them.
Evaluation: Was it drinkable?

That looks like a porter to me. And good choice on the 34/70 as well. What temp will you ferment at?
