    Poll #10 determined that Brown Malt (~60L) would advance to the combo poll. This poll (and possibly the next) will determine what "Other Adjunct(s)" advance to that combo poll.

    You can select more than one choice. The #1 choice 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 private message. Let's keep the threads themselves on topic to the question at hand and not about how you would have asked the question differently. Votes from anyone trolling the thread are null and void.

    With golden naked oats already (likely) in, I'm no longer thinking we need any adjuncts.

    I agree. So if we don’t want any, do we just not vote? I don’t see a “none of the above option”. But I’m guessing the highest vote moves on, and then removed in buyers remorse.

    I don't think it will even take a remorse poll, I think we get another shot at all the combinations we've voted on. So for instance we can still get rid of chocolate/GNOs if we want (they are inextricably linked at this point). Of course I don't think we will, but anyway my understanding is there will be a combined poll with all of the combos we've set up so far. The adjunct won't be linked to anything and we can vote it down then.

    I guess I'm voting oats on the (extremely unlikely) off chance that we vote down chocolate malt and GNOs in the combo poll.

    Another vote for none of the above. This feels just like the last presidential election. ;D

    I went with wheat to be different, primarily as a body builder. I am surprised there isn't more love for the sugars, because it's an English thing, and we already voted Golden Promise, English Pale Chocolate, and Golden Naked Oats in our American Brown Ale.

    If I was going to vote for a sugar, it would be invert sugar, but I would rather have a more "chewy" vs a drier beer, so no sugar for me.
