I'd go for something like this with those ingredients, trying to use up some of the odd amounts.

Recipe specifics:

Batch size: 23.0 l
Boil volume: 30.0 l
OG: 1.044
FG: 1.011
Bitterness (IBU): 38.5
Color (SRM): 5.4
ABV: 4.3%
75% efficiency

Grain/Sugars:

3.800 kg Pale Ale Malt, 88.1%
0.361 kg Munich (US), 8.4%
0.075 kg Caramalt, 1.7%
0.075 kg Amber Malt, 1.7%

Hops:

6.00 g Magnum (AA 12.0%, Whole) 60 min, 7.5 IBU
46.00 g Cascade (AA 7.0%, Whole) 10 min, 12.2 IBU
66.00 g Challenger (AA 7.5%, Whole) 10 min, 18.7 IBU

Yeast, whatever floats your boat depending on what you're after.

Both great options. I think this is what I'd do:

SEYMOUR FUSEMAKER IPA
all-grain recipe
6 US Gallons = 5 Imperial Gallons = 22.7 Liters

FERMENTABLES:
88.7% = 8.35 lb = 3.79 kg, Two-Row Pale Malt
4.7% = .44 lb = 200 g, Munich Malt
3% = .28 lb = 127 g, Crystal Malt
1.8% = .17 lb = 75 g, Amber Malt
1.8% = .17 lb = 75 g, Torrified Wheat

MASH at 152°F/66.7°C 60 minutes or until converted

BOIL 60 minutes

HOPS:
1.2 oz = 34 g, Challenger, 60 minutes
.6 oz = 17 g, Cascade, 40 minutes
1 oz = 28 g, Styrian Goldings, at flame-out, steep until chilled
1 oz = 28 g, Styrian Goldings, dry hops added to secondary fermentor

Pinch of gypsum in boil kettle to make the hops pop. Irish moss near end of boil for clarity.

YEAST: S-04/Whitbread-B strain, ferment at 64°F/17.8°C

STATS assuming 77% mash efficiency and 75% yeast attenuation:
OG: 1.045
FG: 1.011
ABV: 4.4%
IBU: 40
COLOUR: 7° SRM/14° EBC

Uncle Joshua, ever considered making the big jump and just made a recipe yourself?

[Uncle Joshua]

I have done my own recipes. Mine are not as good as some of Jim's members can come up with so if they ate happy to help me out I'll continue to ask them.

[zgoda]

My 1st good own recipe was at brew #25 or so. Don't give up.

My wording came out a bit wrong and abrupt, sorry about that. I think you are selling yourself short because the best recipes are always the ones you figure out yourself and no copy or clone even if taken from the head brewer of Salopian etc can match that.

[seymour]

BUMP.

So, Uncle Joshua, what'd ya end up brewing?

Brewed yours. Its now called Slappers Arms IPA though. It is still fermenting after 10 days. I was thinking about brewing on or two of the others in this thread too, I have some Magnum that could do with being used up.

[Uncle Joshua]

This made it into secondary today, fermentation took a whole 16 days! it is going to be a bloody good pint.

What yeast would people use with this? I have a fair few Gervin English ale packs.

[seymour]

Listen to Underground Joe since it's his recipe, but if it were me, I'd be tempted to put it right on the yeast cake of your last IPA. Sacrilege, I know...

Sadly, I don't have the yeast cake. I have a choice of Gervin English Ale or US 05. Underground Joe didn't offer a suggestion.

[seymour]

In that case, Gervin (same as Nottingham) would be my preference for some faint English ale characteristics, or US-05/Chico if you're aiming for a more neutral American-style fermentation.
