Averagely Perfect Project #7 - Pre-Poll

Barleywine would allow a lot of fun discussion, so would an Old Ale

 

I'm goin brown,,,,,, brown an down, yaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Everybody’s doing barleywines out here.
Hardly see browns anymore.
I’m going browntown.

 

@VikeMan
Curious....how are “mentions” tallied? Is it purely how many times it appears, regardless of context?

 

I voted old ale because its a style i love but have yet to brew. Excited to see the process and learn from the discussion regardless of what wins!

 

If you’re like me and asked wtf is a land bier:

I'm in for Russian Imperial Stout.

 

Brown! Mostly because I already have a good barleywine recipe and while underrated browns are tasty!

I will say by the time I went to vote I saw that it was mostly between brown and barleywine so I based my decision off that.

 

Brown here too. Been meaning to brew one for a while and it keeps getting bumped. This’ll be the kick in the pants I need.

 

Voted Belgian Pale....I'll surely be a ship-jumper, unless others see the pale light.

 

Throwing another vote to BPA so maybe we can get some momentum going. I know we just did a Belgian beer, but I expect a BPA would be much more interesting than a brown ale or a barleywine.

Like riptorn, I'm prepared to jump ship if necessary. I'd much rather do RIS than barleywine, and I'm always up for a porter, so if people flock to either of those I'll follow.

 

Brown for me too - there's a limit to how many barleywine recipes one person needs, whereas another party-friendly brown is always good to have around.

 

Like the song says:
I'll have a porter if I may
It makes me feel content and happy

 

I love the fact that Landbier even made the list! I’d consider that a win right there.

My vote is Porter, but not just regular ol’ Porter, how about a Robust Porter? 6.5-7.5%

 

Aside from the fact that American Brown is one of my favorite styles, I think it is a great style for the Averagely Perfect process because there is a hugh variety of possible specialty malts that one can think about using, not to mention hops and yeast. Cheers!

 

Before I am convinced to switch my vote, can you clarify if you are leaning more towards the Jackman or Grant style?

 

Voted old ale, but I'm fine with barleywine. I'm brewing 8 gals of it soon, though, so if we go that way I probably won't get around to brewing the final recipe for a long while.

 

I'm going barleywine....which for me will be a Milletwine. Whatever gets chosen, I will join in and try to make a GF version of it. I'm sure I will pick up important processes that would have have otherwise missed. This will be my first 'averagely perfect' project and I'm excited about it.
