You could brew pretty much anything 'English' with that list. Given the weather what about a nice dark beer? I see you've got a Baltic Porter already. What about a lower gravity Brown Porter?

All righ so I brewed 43 L English Pale Ale 1.050, I used 8kg MAris Otter and 350g cristal malt. One part I hopped using Nothern brewer and Fuggles second part is hopped using Nothern brewer and Goldings. This with Fuggles is fermenting using Danstar Windsor, and Goldings version is fermenting using Safale S-04.

Cold fermentation (15*C), almost finished (it`s about 1.013 at the moment). I hope it`s going to drop a little more. I have to move this beer to warmer place to perform diacetyl rest.
