Hi all,
I'm basically a newbie (a couple of Coopers kits under my belt) and live in a pretty remote part of central Canada with only somewhat of a LHBS (and would rather not order anything right now). I'm trying to take the next step after kits, but only have very limited ingredients. These include:
yeast: Coopers and Nottingham
LME: Dark, Amber, and "standard lager"
DME: Spray Malt light, medium, or dark
(also pre-hopped extracts if I choose to revert back to the kits)
hops: cascade, northern brewer, sticklbract, saaz, tettnang, fuggles, williamette, green bullet, hallertau
malts (if I want to steep or partial mash): black barley, roasted barley, carastan, munich
So my question is: what beer styles would work for this selection of ingredients? There aren't many styles I don't like, but I was thinking some sort of American pale ale, or a stout/porter. I'm up for anything really. I have all necessary equipment, and can do either an ale or lager fermentation.
Any help much appreciated!
