I picked up 10 lbs of free mystery grain at my
Local brew store. I have 1 lb of light dme, 1/2 lb caramel 40l, 1 lb of Caramunich type 1, 1/2 lactose and 1 lb of Demerara sugar.
Anyone have a suggestion about what to make?
+2.
And, I kind of like the idea of the English yeast and hops.
If I got a real wild hair up my ass, I might try a lager yeast on it. I like darker lagers these days, and that might be interesting with a mystery bag.
there’s definitely rye in there, some light base malt and some more modified, darker malt.
Let’s see. got some base, cara, rye... Carry the 3
Let’s go Farmhouse ale or Saison.
Let’s go with the pound of DME and .5# of the caramunich.
For yeast, I really like the French Saison strain, but probably any Belgian yeast.
For hops, I’d go for about 30-35 IBUs of low to medium AA hops. MAX of 40 with this volume of grain.
There is a list of grains, and the name Roger, on the right side of the bag. So, it's probably the grist for a specific recipe, and not just random grain. I'd probably go with some moderate bittering hops and a neutral yeast and see what happens.
