I'm curious if anyone has ever found a smash recipe that wasn't good. Assuming you are using base malt and not doing something like a 100% crystal 60 grist.

Awesome, I've been wanting to do something like this but haven't gotten around to it yet. Interested to see how it comes out for you. Maybe I'll mix up some starter wort and try it this week.

Coffee wine. ....interesting, that may be the next weird non beer I do

I buy my jugs because I don't have a whole foods close to me. They about $6 a piece so it's not the best deal but not awful either. I don't always secondary though.

The other issue with that is for the person at the homebrew store, if someone comes in with a % grist recipe I either have to pull out some paper and figure it out or pull up a recipe calculator. 90% of the time I am happy to do it, but when there are 3 other people that need help it slows...
