Recipe Collaboration Exchange - Fall 2015
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:53 am
It's that time of year again! I'm putting together another Recipe Collaboration Exchange.
Those of you who know the drill, sign up! Don't forget to include your level of experience.
Those of you who are unfamiliar with the RCE, here's how it works:
This is an opportunity to work with another brewer, via the magic of the internet. You sign up in this thread, and I pair you up with another signee, and you communicate via email or the Borg's Private Messaging, and you put together a recipe, and then you each brew that beer, and share your results on the message board. You don't have to have a particular skill level (I'll explain that later), and you don't have to brew your beer at the same time as your partner. You just have to work together to create a recipe.
The idea is to maybe stretch your comfort zone a bit, by using a new ingredient, or a new process, or trying a new style. And you get to know a fellow Borg member a little better.
So sign up below, and include your level of experience, using this handy-dandy guideline:
LEVEL 1 - Only made beer from HME kits, such as Mr. Beer or BrewDemon
LEVEL 2 - Made beer with HME kits, enhanced with steeping grains, malt extracts, and/or hops additions
LEVEL 3 - Made beer with unhopped extracts, grain additions, hop additions. Formulated original recipes
LEVEL 4 - Made beer with all grain, whether BIAB or traditional mash methods.
I will make every effort to pair people with similar experience levels (I used to pair a more experienced brewer with a less experienced brewer, but that became problematic), and if anyone with Level 3 or 4 experience is willing to work with a 1 or 2 brewer, please let me know.
Sign-up will close on September 27, and I'll create a new thread to announce the pairings. If any more clarification is needed on how this works, just ask. It's pretty simple, though.
