What to do with leftovers?

[cavman22]

I have some leftover ingredients laying around...

I have:

6 lbs Bavarian wheat DME
.5 Oz Northern Brewer Hops
1 Packet of safale05
Bottling sugar....of course

Anyone got any ideas for recipees that include those items?

Maybe a recipee for a wheat IPA?

Thanks!

You've got almost everything for an American wheat something like below. Just need another ounce of cascade (or whatever hop you want). For a "wheat IPA" you'd probably want to up the extract as well as the hops.


Estimated OG: 1.052 SG
Estimated Color: 6.8 SRM
Estimated IBU: 19.0 IBUs
Boil Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name
6 lbs Wheat Dry Extract (8.0 SRM)
0.50 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] Boil 60.0 min Hop 13.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 10.0 min 6.1 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safale US-0 Yeast

That sounds good! Thanks for the help... I'm a newbie.

If nobody chimes in with a wheat ipa recipes I'm going to go with that this Friday!

I've not done a wheat IPA but I would do something like
- up the extract to about 7.5 lb
- up the bittering about 3 x what you've got (could do more norther brewer or just add another ounce of centennial at 60 for example)
- go with cascade (or another finishing hop) 1 oz each at 15, 10, flameout, and dryhop

If I were doing this I might consider adding a little munich to give it a bit more malt backbone, but that needs to be mashed. You could add a little crystal I suppose, but I wouldn't over do it (maybe 6-8 oz of medium/light).

Hope that helps, just doing this off the fly when I should be on the way to work!
You could also search the recipe section for ideas.
Good luck!

Looks good to me, can't go wrong with Amarillo IMO. I'm kind of a fan of Caravienne too, I use that in my Belgian pales.
Sorry no one else is chiming in but I say brew it!

Slightly off topic, but if you are feeling adventurous, DME can be mixed in to a basic ice cream base and makes a lovely cinder toffee tasting ice cream.
