Hi,
I've been reading through Mallette's Malt book and I was intrigued by the Weyermann Malt Aroma Wheel and the Murray Malt Flavour Characteristics described on page 127. I would like to create a spreadsheet that would supplement recipe calculators and show a (approximate, theoretical) visual representation of the malt flavors for the grain bill that is entered. The spreadsheet would display a spider web graph similar to the Aroma Wheel in Mallette's book (p127) but it would be an aggregate (weighted average) of the malts in your recipe. A similar calculator for hops will come next.
Is anyone aware of a table or database that would have the 0-5 ratings for each flavor or aroma characteristics described by Weyermann or Murray, or something similar? I have a poster on my wall that describes hops in a similar way but I haven't found anything for malt.
If it doesn't exist, would anyone be willing to help me crowd-source this info by filling out a survey monkey? I would be very happy to publish the results as well as the spreadsheet tool I'm building once it's complete. Does HBT have a survey function to help crowd source this data?
