"Leftovers" Beer?

[Okami]

Has anyone out there made
"Leftovers" beer?
I was just wondering since I am
getting a small collection of packets
of hops and a little malt extract here
and there all piling up in my fridge.
This is taking up valuable brew space.
I just wondered if anybody has ever done
this, and how it turned out.

The 5th anniversary issue of Brew Your Own magazine published an article about a brew they made with everything but the kitchen sink. something like 5 malts, 4 or 5 hops, etc. End result was said to be crisp, refreshing, etc (i.e., "good").

This sounds like an excellent time for experimentation. Dab of this, dash of that. The worst thing that could happen is you end up with more beer!
