What can I make with these ingredients?

[madman960]

I have 8 pounds 2 row
1 pound vienna
1 pound caramel 10L
1 pound cara-pils
2 oz hallertau 4.7%
2 oz Kent goldings 4.9%
US-05

Thanks;

Bill

Definitely beer!
Sorry, couldn't resist. Even though 05 is American ale yeast, that looks Continental to me. The Hallertau and Goldings say Europe.

I ran it through Brewer's Friend. Half pound each of the crystal and carapils, 1 oz hops at 60 and 30 gives a pretty nice American Pale Ale. 4.8%abv, 35 IBU.

If you are doing an LBK sized batch, use 1/2 the ingredients (or similar) listed on this 'Ole Stinky's Strong Ale clone' recipe. BYO magazine, December 2012.

2-row + Vienna + hallertau + S-05 fermented at around 59-60 degrees = German Like Beer of Yum.

[madman960]

Mashani, do you have a recipe to share?

John Sand; what is brewers friend?

Brewersfriend.com is an online brew tool. Most of it is free and web based so no downloading. Allows you to input ingredients and see what you get out.

What Jim said.
And my suggestion was for 5 gallons.

[madman960]

Would you use the hallertau or the goldings? Or 1 of each?

Would you use the hallertau or the goldings? Or 1 of each?

both, 1 for bittering 1 for flavor/aroma boils. i'd probably go hallertau bittering, goldings for aroma/flavor. but rermember different strokes for different folks. some would do it the other way 'round

[madman960]

I have enough to try both ways. Bittering is the longer boil?

Plug this into software but something like this (for 2.5 gallon batch) would make good beer I think.

3.5 or 4# of 2 row
1# Vienna
0.5# carapils

0.5 to 0.75oz Hallertau @60 (you could use the EKG here too... EDIT: depends on the AAs, which is why I say to plug it in to software).
0.5oz Hallertau @30
0.5oz Hallertau @10

You could even toss a little bit of the crystal in there. It would come across as a light colored alt bier if you did that. You can bitter it more heavily if you add some crystal and it will stay balanced.

OG 1.061 FG 1.017 ABV 5.79% IBU 34.26 SRM 5.58

Recipe

4# of 2 row
1# Vienna
0.5# carapils
0.5# crystal 10L
4.7% Hallertau 4.7% 60 30 10

2nd recipe:

OG 1.061 FG 1.017 ABV 5.79% IBU 42.82 SRM 5.58

4# of 2 row
1# Vienna
0.5# carapils
0.5# crystal 10L
4.7% EK Goldings 4.9% 60 30 10

Values drop slightly without the crystal.

I have enough to do both.

I think either one would make a tasty beer. You could go with less crystal, especially in #1 if you want it to seem more "German". The 10L is pretty sweet. Maybe only 4oz in #1. Just a thought. Or else toss in some extra bittering hops maybe.

EDIT: For #2, I'd let the S-05 get a bit warmer, mid 60s+. Some more yeast character would make it seem more "British".

Mashani has far more experience than I. My brewing has benefited from his advice.
