Specialty Malt swap?

[Pheeel]

I was a bit of an idiot and overestimated a) How much the missus would let me brew b) What styles I'd be brewing

So I'm left with speciality malt that I don't think I'm going to get through (No idea why I bought so much Chocolate...)

I was hoping to swap these with folks at the next NCB meetup (or earlier if you're easy to get to). These are all in unopened 1KG packets from the HomeBrewCompany:

Amount	Malt	Expires
3	Chocolate	Dec 15
2	Brown	Nov 15
2	Cara Red	Jul 15
1	Cara Hell	Dec 15
2	Crystal Malt 240 EBC	May 15

Any of the following would be great:
•   Vienna Malt
•   Victory/Meladoin
•   Munich Malt
•   Black Patent
•   Carapils/Dextrine

Thanks

ordered some carahell y-day.

Just an idea ...

Use all the malts except cara red, add 8kg of pale and you'll get 25l of nice 'Imperial Choco Porter'
