Recipe Collaboration Exchange - Fall/Winter 2016
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:45 pm
Time for another Recipe Collaboration Exchange! Those of you who are familiar with the concept, just skip this and sign up, and don't forget to indicate your level (and if you'd be interested/willing to work at any other level). For those not in the know, here's how it works:
You sign up by replying to this thread, and after the deadline, I pair up brewers and those two brewers communicate via email/PMs, or whatever works, and formulate a recipe together, which you both brew independently. That's pretty much it. There's no deadline on the final recipe. You don't have to brew it simultaneously, unless you want to. You don't even have to send each other bottles of your beer, unless you want to. It's just a way to get to know another Borg member a little better, work on a recipe together, maybe explore a style or a technique you haven't used before, or as an introduction to a new level, if you've wanted to try steeping grains, or making a lager, or whatever. It's wide open, and it's up to you and your partner. Here are the four levels for classification:
LEVEL 1: Only brewed with HME kits, such as Mr. Beer or BrewDemon.
LEVEL 2: Brewed with extract and steeping grains/hop additions.
LEVEL 3: Brewed with Partial Mash
LEVEL 4: Brewed All Grain
Again, don't forget to include your level when you sign up, and if any of the higher level brewers are agreeable to working at another level to help out a fellow Borgite, that would be appreciated.
And if a moderator could make this a universal sticky in all the forums, for the best exposure, I'd consider it a mitzvah.
Close-out and pairing announcement will be made on September 17th (or 18th, depending on how I feel).

I've not gotten far off the beatin path as far as my grist, not into real fancy brews, yet.
