I want to make another really big beer, but this time without the spices.

• 6.6 lbs (2 cans) extra light lme
• 6.6 lbs (2 cans) light lme
• 3.3 lbs (1 can) Amber lme
• 1/2 lbs crystal 40
• 1/2 lbs crystal 60
• 1/2 lbs cara red
• 1/4 lbs dextrine malt
• 2 oz black patent
• 2 oz chocolate malt
• 2.5 oz Fuggle hops
• 2.5 oz Soverign hops
• 2 oz Spalt hops
• 2 tubes White Labs yeast (007 or 099)
• 1 packet champagne yeast
• 1 tsp irish moss
• 5 oz priming sugar or 1 cup light DME

I'm hoping to make a really big beer, coming up around 10% alcohol, but without the spices and associated flavors from that. I'll probably go with more different kinds of malt and hops, but still want to stick with around 8oz hops and the 4 basic ingredients in beer. Ok, I'll probably add a clarifier too.
