When you guys brew up a recipe that you find on here or in a book or whatever, how much of it do you claim as your own? Do you rename it? Enter it into competitions?
I have been brewing recipes from online here, with minor substitutions, mostly hops just because I have 3 varieties in lb bags. I wouldn't consider them original or anything, I don't name them (well I give them a number, and if somebody asks I say that is a pale ale), and I feel like entering it into a competition would be somewhere a long infringement on intellectual rights.
It somewhat comes down to a question as to whether homebrewing is process or recipe driven, but what are your thoughts on this?
