Anybody have a brew coming up? My brewing partner is leaving town (more on that in another post), so if we get a chance to do another batch it will be an odds and ends beer, along these lines
*pale malt - we have a couple of single # bags of MO, and a couple of bag-corners of MO and domestic 2-row; probably use up the MO first.
*Munich - we have 3 single # bags (don't ask me why) plus 30#s or so of a 55 # bag
*Belgian biscuit - we've got a # of this. Never used it - I hope a # is a reasonable amount for a 10 gallon batch.
*Special B - we have a few #s of this. Probably throw 4 oz in.
I'm not sure what yeast we have on hand. I know we have a couple pouches of Safale-04 (has anyone used that?), otherwise we have a couple of batches to keg so if we harvest one of those we'd have Notty and Wyeast Northwest ale to pick from.
We have a pretty good hop assortment, including Mount Hood, which I've been wanting to try. Since MH is an American attempt at a Mittelfruh replacement, I thought we'd pair it with Hersbrucker which is the original Deutsche Mittelfruh replacement. Could actually toss a little Mittelfruh in, but I'm thinking stick with the other two. We have a little of most of the common varieties - if anyone has a suggestion for another hop to go with MH and H-brucker, have at. I would say Citra (since it goes with everything), but I think we've finally exhausted the 11' supply of that.
Otherwise, we have: rye malt; oat flakes; Victory; generic biscuit; brown sugar (never used it - thinking of throwing a # or 2 in. Good idea, or would it combine badly with the sp-B ? It's a lighter, pure cane sugar, described as 'golden' brown.); German dark wheat malt. I think that's about it. Thoughts?
