Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums!
I have a supremely naive question that i cant seem to find any information regarding on the net. That is, the topic of naming ones beer.
I'm a scientist, so I'm used to properly referencing somebody who did something before me. Giving credit where credit is due, essentially.
So my question is, if I brew a beer (e.g. Goat Scrotum for arguments sake), and change nothing from the recipe in Papazians book, am I/should I too call it a Goat Scrotum ale to give kudos to Papazian for the recipe, or can I call it anything I want? Somehow, it doesnt seem "proper" for me to call it a "Naked Eskimo Ale" when I had nothing to do with designing/conceptualizing the recipe.
At what point is it proper to name a brew whatever you want? Anytime you want, or only if you've made some modifications to an existing recipe?
Thanks for your insight, greatly appreciate it!
