Formulating Recipes -- Incredible Fun

[KingBrianI]

Does anyone else have a ton of fun formulating recipes? Sometimes I sit around for hours thinking up recipes and entering them into brew software to tweak the numbers. Almost all of them get discarded since I have neither the time nor resources to brew each one. It makes me wish I had an army of oompah loompahs or something to go brew all the ideas I come up with. Does anyone else feel this way?

Yeah, I totaly hear you! An army of oompah loompahs would be AWESOME!

 

[Malticulous]

I wish I had the money and the time.

I do this constantly. Then I post them here and I get about 1-2 unenthusiastic replies per. Oh well...

I have a string of recipes that haven't even made it into the physical world.

Bernerbits, I am always open to critique recipes. If you don't get public responses just pm me. I am always glad to help people realize their goals in brewing.

Monkeys! FLYING monkeys! Bottling is effortless; just addict them to cigarettes and heroin, and they'll do anything for a fix.

Bernerbits, I'd be glad to have a look at your recipes. Like zoebisch wrote, just PM me if I don't come running.

I kill hours that way. Everytime someone posts a new recipe I consider it and start making my own. For the really interesting ones I start pricing the goods at various online brew stores. Then I pick the one or two I like the best and order the stuff. I have had the same problem with recipe critiques. I think it's because I do extract and am just starting partial mash. All the really fun looking recipes are all grain. I just ordered the stuff to try a partial mash version of Biermunchers OctoberFAST Ale. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

problem with flying monkeys is they're much too capable when it comes to escaping. I mean mokeys are clever enough by themselves, put wings on them and they'd be out of control. for oompah loompahs, all you need are 5 ft. walls surrounding the brew compound. oh, and then there's the problem with flying monkey poo fights, can you say infection?
