"Success In" Series Idea

Neat idea overall. I think it would be cool to try to, at the end of 4 or 5 of these things, pick a style and the three or four guidelines that we collectively decide on as being "successful" and brewing a batch of beer to swap. Not the same recipe mind you, but rather an adherence to the things people believe to create a successful beer within the chosen style.

I think it would be an interesting demonstration of how peoples’ interpretations of those “successful” criteria might be open to variation, and how different those beers could be as a result.

This is actually a fantastic idea. No specifics, just general guidelines, and let the brewer decide the rest. Count me in if we do it.

Though I think that the characteristics chosen mean that I would be able to ferment 100% with Brett b. Trois, I’m going to be out of the country right around when a beer for this would be getting ready...so I’m going to have to pass.

This sounds great. Count me in. I have an IPA fermenting right now that I’d like some experienced feedback on.

I’m in. When do we actually start?

wha? I could if it’s convenient

Here’s what I’m thinking:

From the start date you have 3 months to brew, ferment, bottle, and send your IPA to the assigned recipient in adherence to the top 3 success factors identified in the IPA thread. Your box would be a 6 pk of your IPA plus a 6 pk (or fl oz equivalent) of.locals.

You can brew and send your IPA to the recipient at any time during the three month window, ideally providing the recipient with advance notice as a comon courtesy.

What do we think?
