Thanks for the replies boys and girls. I am going to work on a recipe. I'll post it as soon as I'm happy with it.

 

[chriscax]

Sounds good...you should post the ingredients so I can play around with a recipe too. Than we can compare later.

If it's not too late

Base: Marris Otter
Crystal: UK 120
Specialty: Chocolate Malt
Hop: Goldings
Yeast: Wyeast 1318

I definitely suggest the 1318 yeast. Although I guess we have to yield to the crowd on this one.

Are you going to post the complete poll results? That'd be interesting to see.

I was kinda hoping for something more unique than an amber ale. Still looks like a good brew though.

I was too, but ending up with WLP001 made things a little tough to get too crazy with styles.

...just a head's up: the last 3 recipes will be for a Vienna Lager, an IPA, and an American Barleywine...

 

[barrooze]

Very cool. Thanks!

Can you write an Adlai Stevenson Memorial Runner-Up recipe? I'm open to calling it Always a Bridesmaid.

It seem like if you were to use a little bit of every grain, hops, and yeast, you would come up with some sort of imperial brown/amber with a bit of tartness. What do you think?

 

[TimBrewz]

I see that Simcoe tied for 3rd place...is it going to be included?

25 different yeasts in a single beer! That sounds pretty dang expensive!!!

Indeed...I'm out! Lol

 

[eanmcnulty]

It does! And who would want to pay for that muddled mess? I might just have to try it one day...

 

[watersr]

Well if you start banking every yeast you use and making a different beer with a different yeast each time you brew eventually you'll have ever yeast to use without additional expense. Some you could even bottle harvest and save money. Course what it tastes like is anybodies guess.

It would probably taste like I said earlier: some sort of imperial brown ale with Belgian tartness to it. That's just my guess.

Any results to post? Did you brew it yet? The chosen ingredients could have been a really nice ESB too...
