How about a big dirty IPA with 6-7kg of base malt, aromatic malt and a load of the Goldings Fuggles

Or a Mild 4kg base malt, special B, 200 grams of chocolate malt ant the 250grams of sugar 1-1.25 Oz of Goldings

Or a Porter 5-6kg, special B, all of chocolate, aromatic malts and 2oz of of Goldings

There are load more recipe with those ingredients, by the way what yeast to you have in stock

The first brew i did had 6kg in it and i think i'll steer clear of that for a while, 5 or 6 pints and it was lights out :roll:

You can make all three with S-04 its great yeast; I would mash the mild a little higher to increase the unfermentable’s as you have no ordinary crystal malt.

Well i used to be able to drink :oops:
I like the idea of the mild but i was hoping to use different hops as Goldings are the only hops i've used since i went ag except on the Chimay clone which won't be ready for months

Just remember the hops in a mild are supposed to take the sweet edge of a mild, but they are malt driven beer.
