Possible advice for a new member

[Birretta]

Hey all, i'm completely new here, i'm based in north Kent and would appreciate some simple advice.

I've recently come into all-grain bewing .. got the equiptment and a basic understanding of what to do though not much experience of how to formulate recipes, how best could i make use of

3kg Crushed pale malt
500g Torrefied Wheat
500g Crush Crystal Malt
200g Barley Bottom Hops - Fuggles
100g Challenger
Iris Moss
Saflager S-23

Any advice would be very much appreciate, i've been feeling adventurous and have taken the plunge,
Is the Torrefied Wheat and Crystal malt mixed with with the Pale Malt and thus sparged ? What's the ideal sugar for me to to use?
Sorry for being such a noob guys.
Cheers

welcome you would normaly use all the grain bill together , you will need a recipe first and someone whos currently at home and has beersmith might be able to calculate one for you. I could guess one but it might be horrible so i wont

anyway follow the links for Jims brewing methods and click on all grain and you have a step by step guide .

happy brewing

Welcome Birretta,

I would avoid Saflager S-23 , unless you have the ability to lager you brew. US-05 and Nottingham can make a good pseudo lager or more neutral ale.

With your ingresdent could make nice bitter or blond ale?

You'd mash all the grains together at the same time. No need to worry about keeping them seperate.

Sugar, I usually use brewers sugar. Although have used caster sugar plenty of time's when I've run out and never really had a problem.

With what you've got, how about a nice IPA with the challenger hops for bittering and the fuggles for aroma and dry hopping?

Here's an idea totally off the top of my head based on my IPA recipe.

Mash all the pale and crystal

Boil 2oz Challenger for 60mins
1oz fuggles at 30mins
1oz fuggles at 10mins
1oz fuggles at 2 mins

Dry hop in the primary with 2oz fuggles

As I said this is totally off the top of my head so the hop additions might be off as my recipe is a much higher OG that you'll be able to get with the grains you've got. But might give you an idea.

Thanks for all your advice guys ... gotta start somewhere - a combination of the Challengers and Fuggles sounds good, can anyone recommend a more suitable yeast for the perfect ale, once again thanks everyone

Gervin would be a good one for a bitter or if you like a fruity hint safale04.
