I suggest with your Canadian 2 Row American Pale AlesAmerican IPA'sAmerican Amber AleCanadian WheatBavarian HefeAmerican HefeMarris OtterEnglish BitterEnglish IPAEnglish ESBThese are some styles that I think each base malt is acceptable for use with. I was not sure if you were looking for recipes or just some style ideas. Hope that helps, happy brewing!!!

i used a coffee gringer before set on it's max opening, and have heard of people crushing them with a rolling pin, maybe call your lhbs and see what they'd charge to custom grind some of it.(make up a story or something how you inherited it)

[nbbeerguy]

The only issue is there are no LHBS that carry any grains or anything like that in my city I had to order my grains from the local Micro brewery picaroons.ca great bunch of guys

Even better... you explain that you took delivery of specialty grains and would they (for a reasonable fee) allow you to crush your grains. Perhaps you would be willing to purchase some yeast and hops from them as well. It's not like you are going to grind 300 pounds. You are going to do approx 10 to 12 pounds this one time, right? By then, your mill will be in and you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

Thats what I was thinking they said they would sell me Hops before so I may pick up a couple pounds of a few different types that is probably my best option I think

Maybe the micro would crush for you a time or two if they know you have a mill on the way.Oh, and an over the top on gravity and IBU's American Wheat. It can be a nice beer if you don't let the BJCP guidelines stop you.

I agree with this statement in entirety, especially the +p version of American Wheat.
