Suggest recipe by inventory

Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:08 pm

I know the old version of BeerSmith had an option to do this but I can't seem to find any new software/web site that has this option. As a new brewer I would like to try my hand at different styles but don't really know much about them.

So along these lines I was given a great Christmas gift of a package of different specialty grains. So I was wondering if anyone here could suggest some styles I could brew given the ingredients I have. Of course leaving out the base malts or extracts and I can always buy more grains and the specific hops needed. Just not sure what grains go into making each style. I was thinking Porter/Stout or Dubbel.

This is what was given...

10oz Briess Black Patent
9oz dingemans biscuit
12oz special roast
8oz special b
7oz chocalate malt
4oz aromatic
13oz smoked malt
4oz Munich
16oz caraMunich 2

Do you have Brewing Classic Styles? it has a recipe for each style; that would be a good place to start.

Here is an idea....kinda a laundry list beer, but I made something similar to this before and it was downright tasty!

For 6 gallons at the end of boil
Pre-boil 7.15 gallons
90 minute boil
OG - 1.070
target FG - 1.015
ABV - 7.2%

Mash at 151

12 lbs 2-Row Brewers Malt; Briess info
0.33 lbs 2-Row Chocolate Malt; Briess info
0.5 lbs American Black Patent info
0.75 lbs Caramunich® (Organic); Weyermann info
0.25 lbs Biscuit Malt (Mout Roost 50); Dingemans info
0.25 lbs Special Roast Malt; Briess info
0.25 lbs Smoked Malt; Weyermann info
0.55 lbs Pale Wheat Malt; Weyermann info
.25 lbs Munich 20L Malt; Briess info

0.5 lbs Maple Syrup info End of Boil
0.5 lbs Maple Syrup info After Fermentation

0.75 oz Warrior® (Pellets, 16.00 %AA) boiled 60 min. info
1 oz Vanguard (Pellets, 5.75 %AA) boiled 10 min. info

90 Min Boil


add 8oz of Maple syup at end of boil

add other 8oz of maple syrup to the secondary fermenter

Looks like I can do this at the Hopville site. I can search by ingredient and it will give me a list of recipes. But thanks for the info.
