Hey dude with 10 posts... calm down please.

Anyone can throw some Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo in a bag, shake it up, and sprinkle a pinch in a boiling pot, and a dash into the same pot a little later... All we're asking for is a little interjection from a well-respected member of the forum to make sense of the 3,862,478 posts that comprise a debate that's been going on for coming up on a week and come up with something that's gonna taste good. Not to mention he's the guy who started everything in the first place.

Or maybe you can read the bar graph and announce the recipe. Either way's fine by me.

Someone just compile the results and post it. I'm workign nights and haven't had a real good chance to go through everything. It seems even though people voted it looks like their is a little unrest even with the results.

I say whatever was voted for, we do, and be happy with it.

The only thing I think we need to REALLY stick to is no modifying of the recipe after we decide on it. Brew what HBT came up with collectively.

CRAP!! I'm going to be gone for two weeks right as this brew is supposed to be started!! I'm going to have to brew it a week before I leave, and let it sit in the secondary on the trip, then bottle it when I get back...

lets finalize it!

That's a more heartbreaking story than sally struthers could put together, what with your plight of HAVING to brew early

Ok, let me take a stab at this. I'm not as experienced as some of the others here so feel free to criticize, mock, point and laugh, etc. The grain bill is the last one on the main thread, which was a combination of texasgeorge's and brewsmith's

5.5 gallon batch

SG 1.050 (75% eff)

7.00 lb 2-row
1.00 lb Wheat Malt
0.50 lb Vienna
0.50 lb Honey Malt
0.50 lb Crystal 10L
0.50 lb Victory Malt
0.25 lb Biscuit Malt

.5 oz Simcoe 60 min
.5 sorachi 60 min

.25 sorachi, .25 simcoe, .33 Amarillo each at 30, 15, 10, 5, 2, and dry. this would be done by mixing 1.5 oz of sorachi and Simcoe with 2 oz of Amarillo and dividing equally into 6 additions. (or weighing it all out for the OCD among us) this adds up to 2 oz of each, for easy purchasing.

yeast could be us-56/1056. I prefer a neutral yeast to allow the malt and hops to shine through but I'm definitely open to suggestion. I think someone mentioned wyeast 1012 in another post.

In the spirit of the poll, I think we should not have Sorachi's in the recipe. It was about 3rd to last in the poll. Plus, I think some LHBS's have no idea what they are.

Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo got the biggest votes, so I think we should use those three varieties.

As far as the grain bill, Brewsmith posted something on the LONG thread that I think folks should look at.

And finally, yeast. Page 23 of the LONG thread, Wyeast 1272 was recommended. I like the idea myself, but am game for whatever the majority decides upon.

I agree with texasgeorge on the hops. Otherwise, it looks good to me.
