What style will this be?

[ozlizard]

I have some left over ingredients so I thought I should chuck them together and see what happens!

I Have:

650g American Ale Malt

850g Crystal medium

100g Cascade

50g Hersbrucker

Coopers  Pale Ale can yeast x2

To this I was going to add 1.7 Coopers tin (what type?)

500g Coopers malt (what type?)

200g Coconut sugar

20lt BIAB

So I am guessing this would be a dark beer. I did punch the ingredients into Brewers Friend and the ABV is about 5.29% and efficiency is 75%. I have no idea what style this beer could be hence the question marks over the Coopers tin and dry malt, or are there better options?

I may be able to get other yeast if required. Any help and advice would be much appreciated as I am out of my depth here!

I dont think there is a style that would have 850gm of medium crystal in it mate. I wouldnt put more than 2 or 300gm of medium crystal in a beer unless its a porter and even then i wouldnt go more than 400.

I did wonder about that. A porter sounds good though, I'll look up some recipes.

Having trouble getting brewing supplies where I am so I saw a video for a 5lt brew, nice and simple that used 760g of malt. I only have 650g so what would happen if I added about 100g of the medium crystal to make up the difference? Too dark, too bitter? I have no clue!
