Averagely Perfect NorthEast IPA - Poll #5 - Crystal Malts

-> Poll #4 <- determined that the Main Base Malt will be North American 2-Row Brewer's Malt, which joins Flaked Oats as definitely IN.

This poll (and possibly the next) will determine what type(s) of Crystal Malt(s) advance to a future combination poll (along with Wheat Malt and Honey Malt). It's a lot of polls, but it's all about context, i.e. choosing malts in context with other malt choices.

You can select more than one choice. The #1 overall choice will automatically advance to the main combo poll. Beyond that, any other choices that get votes from at least 30% of respondents will advance to another poll to determine exact combinations that advance. Want something that's not listed? Write it in. If your first choice is losing badly, consider jumping to a similar choice that has more votes.

I recommend you think about this in terms of not only your personal preferences, but also in the context of the ABV and Final Gravity (and thus the attenuation) already selected, grains already selected, and grains still possible, as well as any possible yeast strain selection that might be kicking around in your head.

This poll will be open for 48 hours.

If you have issues with or suggestions for methodologies used in this project, please send them via beermail. Let's keep the threads themselves on topic to the question at hand and not about how you would have asked the question differently.

Lol. You'll get a chance to vote crystal out in the combo poll. For now, something in the C-family will advance to that poll, because it surpassed the threshold in poll #3.

 

Carapils advances to the combination poll.
