Averagely Perfect American Brown Ale - Poll #8A - Crystal Malts "A" Segment

-> Poll #7 <- determined that Pale Chocolate Malt (English, ~220L) will advance, inseparably with one or more ingredients from "Other Cara/Crystal Malt(s)") to a future combo poll that will feature at least one ingredient from "Amber Malt and/or Brown Malt" and at least one ingredient from "Other Adjuncts." Poll #7 also determined that Chocolate Wheat Malt (Weyermann, ~400L) will not advance.

This poll (and possibly the next) will determine what type(s) of Cara/Crystal Malt(s) advance to that combo poll, inseparably with Pale Chocolate Malt (English, ~220L).

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE VOTING! You need to understand it for the results to be valid. There are Two Concurrent Mini-Polls. Because there are only 10 slots available per poll, this poll is split into two concurrent mini-polls. You should vote in both polls, and you can select more than one variety per poll. At the end, I will combine the results to determine the top varieties for further (potential) whittling. Vote in both of the concurrent polls...if you don't want any of the malts in a particular mini-poll, you should vote 'None from this segment" in that mini-poll. If you want a C-Malt not listed, write it in.

You can select more than one choice. The #1 overall choice (from both segments combined) will automatically advance to the 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 to the combo poll. 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, base malt already selected, and fermentables 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.

Alrighty. American Crystal 60 will be advancing to the combo poll, inseparably with Pale Chocolate Malt (English, ~220L). Simpsons Double Roasted Crystal (~115L) and/or Golden Naked Oats may also be advancing to the combo poll, riding along with the C-60. The next poll will determine that.
