He means recipes that have 9 different grain types just because people are in possession of 9 different grains.
K.I.S.S.
You simple grist looks in line with his philosophy.
This is what I thought, but didn't understand because flyangler mentioned BCS as an example of "kitchen sink" grain recipes, and the enlglish IPA looked really simple, so I thought maybe he objected to using munich or something. Thoughts flyangler?
Haha, your opinion is welcome too! Didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to know why he was not digging the BCS recipes. I am into simple recipes myself and find that the BCS ones are usually right up my alley.

I see the reason my silly confusion now! I was actually going off of Palmer's (simple) English IPA in "how to brew", it only has pale, crystal 20l, and munich.
In Brewing Classic Styles, they call for Pale, Wheat, C40l, c120l, and Biscuit. That is quite a bit more kitchen sinky.

IMO, adding Biscuit is patently unnecessary if you're using a English pale malt like MO, Optic or Halycon.
I can understand the confusion re: my kitchen sink comment, though. If there's a criticism I have with JZ's recipes, he transforms the most simple recipes by design and tradition into different animals with too many different malts. Just my opinion of course.
I respect him immensely and have corresponded with him many times just the same.
