G'day,
I have just fired up my 20L Braumeister again after moving north and I think I need to start branching out a bit more with my brewing. Up until now I have always used very basic grain bills, usually around a 60/40 pils/wheat mix with different late hops and US-05 for easy drinking ales.
When I purchased my Braumeister the guy who sold it to me threw in all his specialty malts as well, they have all been vacuum sealed for around 24 months now and I figure it's time I did something with them before they end up going to the chooks.
I have:
Carapils 3000g
Crystal 60 1900g
Munich 1 1500g
Roasted Barley 1000g
Torrified Wheat 890g
Dark Crystal 800g
Crystal 40 765g
Chocolate Malt 750g
Rolled Barley 500g
Dark Caramalt 500g
Acidulated malt 400g
Midnight Wheat 275g
Belgian Aromatic 100g
Caramalt 30-60ebc 100g
As well as the following base malts
1Kg JW Traditional Ale
8Kg Simpson Maris Otter
10kg Heidelberg Pilsner
13kg Malted Wheat
Hops:
Galaxy 400g
Chinook 400g
Centennial 430g
Citra 365g
NZ Cascade 340g
Amarillo 100g
Motueka Flowers 100g
Mosaic 60g
EKG 60g
Cascade Flowers 55g
Simcoe 45g
Nelson Sav 25
Saaz 20
And yeast on hand
US-04
US-05
2565 Kolsch
1272 American Ale II
1214 Belgian Abbey
[SIZE=11pt]3944 Belgian Wit [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]3463 Forbidden fruit [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]3724 Belgian saison[/SIZE]
I would like to use up all of my malt and hops as they are starting to get a little old and I have 11 kegs to fill. I can chill or no chill depending on recipe and have temp controlled fermentation.
I think I have everything I need for a black IPA so that will be the next brew. Can anyone suggest an awesome beer or 2 that I could bash out with the above? Or even a base grain bill to try different hops?
The only thing I can offer in return is free beer and endless Barra fishing spots if you are ever in the Kimberley!
Cheers,
Pete.
