Besides, what, are you afraid to walk the edge? Scared of danger? Not willing to push the boundaries of logic and reason? Hate taking chances?
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, me too.
Dude said:Also, should we stick to American hops? Magnum isn't american is it?
Typical alpha: 12 - 17%. Spicy, citrusy, super-high alpha bittering hop from the Pacific Northwest.

Not saying that we need to include it, but it is domestic.
the_bird said:So, wait a sec - is the idea that you BREW on 7/7/07, or that you drink it on that day? I may have missed something pretty fundamental to this whole equation.
EDIT: and YES, I know I'm a friggin' tool...

Cheesefood said:How about 7 types of grains, 7 types of hops, and something else 7 related?
Dude said:Doesn't matter....I just want to have one ready for the brew conference in June--we can display a logo and tell everyone it was a "club" effort.
the_bird said:Maybe, before spending too much more time hashing out recipe specifics, we ought to do a poll about what it IS that we want to be brewing - a big IPA, a small summer ale, I head a suggestion about a scottish ale, a honey ale. I'd suggest that before going any further, people who plan to participate simply name the beer style they want to pursue, then let's put that up in a poll.
rdwj said:Ya, probably a good idea. Don't forget to include the bud light clone that was suggested
orfy said:7 different hops is going to get expensive. I buy 3oz at a time that's going to cost me over $40 just to stock the hops.
orfy said:I'm having a month off brewing.
So if this looks good and gets the thumbs up I'll make it my return brew.
the_bird said:You have a freezer, though, they don't go bad.
Another thought; if we go the honey / honey malt route, does it make sense for the hop varieties selected to be more floral in character, rather than citrusy?
Dude said:The more I think about this...the more I think we should just do a light Honey Ale....this is getting really complicated.
I'm up for a poll, but it seems to me the majority has agreed with a light summery pale ale.
