If you know how it works, just sign up in this thread. Don't forget to include your Level.
For new members/participants, here's how it works:
You sign up, indicating your Level of Experience (explained below). I then pair you up with another participant. The two of you communicate via emails or Borg PMs, and work on a beer recipe together, which you both brew individually.
That's all there is to it. There's no deadline on finishing your recipe. There's no deadline on brewing it. You don't have to both brew it at the same time. You don't have to share your beer with your partner or anyone else, unless you choose to. It's just a way to get to know another Borg member a little better, work on a recipe, and maybe learn something new, whether it's a style you haven't brewed, an ingredient that's new, or a process you're not familiar with. And you get beer out of it!
Here are the Levels. Don't forget to include your Level when you sign up.
Level 1: Only done HME kits, such as BrewDemon or Mr. Beer
Level 2: Have done extract recipes with hop additions; maybe some specialty grains
Level 3: Have done Partial Mash and/or larger kits, such as those sold by Midwest Supplies or Northern Brewer
Level 4: Have done All-Grain and formulated original AG recipes
If you're a higher level, it would help me if you include whether you're willing to work with a lower level brewer. I'm Level 4, and I certainly don't mind working with a Level 1, 2, or 3.
Sign-ups close and partners will be assigned on Sunday, Feb. 14 (because I just love you guys!).
And if a moderator could make this a universal sticky across all forums, I'd be obliged.
Join the fun, folks! Collaborate on a recipe, learn something new, get to know another Borg member, and make some swell beer!
