What Should I Make

[Eggs]

Gday all.
IM looking for suggestions on what i should use these for.
I have 5kg of light liquid malt extract, 500g of dark munich, 500g of crystal (114-145 EBC). 50g of hersbrucker pellets 50g hellertau pellets and T58 safbrew yeast.
I bought these to make the christmoose ale but didnt get round to it. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=171
Im happy to buy extra ingerdients if need be. The grain is sealed in bags, but was cracked a few months ago. Is it bin fodder?
Im most fond of english ales, and have some WLP002 yeast. I also have 15g of EKG but could buy more.

Cheers.

Firstly make sure your grain is still fresh. Chew on some to make sure it hasn't gone all slack, like old breakfast cereal.

If it's all good try this on for size;
