About 15 of member of our homebrew club recently did an experiment where we all brewed the same beer. My idea was a cheap, low caliber beer everyone could enjoy and extract brewers could also participate. We'd all brew the same beer with the same ingredients (purchased in bulk and broken up) and take excellent notes when it came to things like OG, ferment temp, etc.
Now comes the problem. We want to taste and compare these brews to see how the variables change the beer. Not just extract vs. grain but how each brewers process changes the end result.
I've had a few ideas but I wanted to see what you guys thought. One idea is to have stations with the brewers sheet and people can roam around the room however they want and we'd talk about it in the end. Another idea is to sit down and pass around 3 or 4 beers and talk about them in batches like that.
Anything I come up has downsides and time is an issue. We need to be done in about 2 hours.
Any ideas? Thanks!
