Help me plan a beer using these ingredients!

[surista]

I have on hand:

4.5 lbs Vienna Malt
4.5 lbs Lager Malt
4.5 lbs Caramalt

2.2 lbs Muntons Light DME
2.2 lbs Muntons Extra Light DME
2.2 lbs Muntons Amber DME

Plenty of Northern Brewer
Plenty of Hallertau
Plenty of Saaz

Salflager S-189
Salflager S-23


Going forward I'll be buying ingredients specifically to make certain beers based on recipies - but before I do that I want to use up the stuff I already have. Anyone care to recommend a beer(s) based on what I have? I prefer lagers, although thanks to being in London I have a greater appreciation for bitters and ales now. (In fact I'm thinking of trying to make a London Pride clone for my next beer).

I should add: I do 5-gallon (19L) batches; I'm obviously not doing all-grain. My main brew pot only fits about 10L, so I usually do partial boils of about 2 gallons or so, topping up as I go along, then topping up to 5 gallons after cooling the wort.

TIA!

That is screaming Oktoberfest/Marzen at me, I would use all of the vienna and lager malt for a 5 gallon batch, then you'll need to boost the gravity up to 1.055 or so using the DME. So if you target a pre-boil (90min) gravity of around 1.050. Bitter with the NB to 20 - 30 IBU then throw in some Hallertau at the end of the boil. Rehydrate and chuck in the s-189 and ferment at 10 C.

Listen to this guy, he got it going on. That would make a fine marzen,

mysterio, that sounds great - problem, I only have a 10L pot. I doubt I'd be able to fit 9lbs (about 4kgs) of grain in there and actually have room for water. Any suggestions? Maybe just make a smaller batch?

Would the recipe be something like this?

Heat approx. 9L of water to about 68-69°C
Put in grains, keep at 65-66°C for 45-60mn
Remove grains, top up pot by pouring water over grain bag; discard grains
Bring to boil; add 1Kg of DME and about 20g of NB hops
After 30m add 10g of NB hops
After 57m add 10g of Hallertau

Chill, top up to 19L, add the S-189.

Does that sound about right?
