Recipe help for ingredients on hand

Greetings. This is my first time posting. I am stuck at home with no access to a local brew shop, and really only have access to ingredients I have on hand. Due to COVID, I would rather brew at home than go to bevmo, and the last time i brewed beer i used canned wort. I pulled my 2 gallon conical fermenter and other home brew stuff out of the garage, and cleaned it out. I looked all over forums for recipes that i can make with what I have, but the differences are all so confusing. Can someone suggest a recipe?

I have:
20 lb Briess Pale malt (grain)
omega yeast 004
a vial of yeast collected and rinsed from a brew done a month ago
white sugar
amylase powder
tums
kamut wheatberries 1 lb
1 lb quaker quick cooking oats
1 lb teff flour
unbleached wheat flour
bleached wheat flour
cornmeal
honey
molasses
dark corn syrup

I don't have any hops, but i have a
stocked spice cabinet
6 kinds of coffee beans
cocoa powder
50 kinds of loose leaf tea
dried chamomile flowers

I also have a small packet of starsan crystals, chlorine, 24 bottles, caps, a hydrometer, a large pot, and a large piece of cheesecloth.

 

Thanks for the help! The rinsed yeast is from a small one-gallon batch brewed a month ago that used canned wort (primal ale). The OYL 00004 and malt were purchased at the same time as that batch ... March 3, 2020. I also got an olympia hops live-root from Burpee seeds company that I planted last month, but found out after planting it that it won't give me flowers till next year.

Yes, I am from California. I looked at their locations and the nearest one is hundreds of miles away. I have a child with breathing issues, so we are trying to limit receipt of packages, or trips to curbside pickups. We had plenty of staples and frozen foods when it all started, so we just stayed home. I wonder if we can hold out till the vaccines come through... maybe?

Thank you again!

 

Hello! You may be right, that is should find a way to purchase some hops. However, I did day I have both malt and yeast:

20 lb Briess Pale malt (grain)
omega yeast 00004

So, here is the thing -- regardless of if I use a gruit, as wonderfully suggested by utahbeerguy, or buy hops as suggested by beershrine, the main issue is that I don't know what procedure to follow with what i have. When I look at the recipes, online, they all generally list very specific ingredients i don't have, but I should in principle be able to make something. Also, the recipes often are intended for 5 gallon batches, and I have a 2 gallon fermenter. I presume this means I take all amount and multiply by 2/5, but am not sure.

There are a number of all-grain recipes that I can find, including the alt kruyt recipe listed at allaboutbeer.con. However, that recipe called for 4 kinds of malt and flaked oats, and a specific kind of yeast. If I use only my 5 lb pale malt, and 1 lb of use my quick oats, and the 1 oz of rosemary/myrtle/yarrow, honey, and my 00004 yeast, does it still work? Is it likely to taste ok? If I use what I have will the following recipe work?

to mash at 150 degrees for 1 hour, collect wort, boil for 30 mins, add spices, boil for 30 minutes, add 0.6 lb honey, chill and transfer to the primary fermenter.

Can you guys make edits or suggestion? What kind of beer will this be like? What is the benefit of using 4 kinds of malt?

Thanks again!

Pitch my rinsed yeast. Wait a week, and then bottle and wait 4 weeks.

What would you do differently? What do you predict it will taste like?
