    Okay. Here's the runoff poll between 10% and 20%.

    Straight plurality takes this one.

    This poll will be open for 36 hours.

    (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, see this thread about the first beer we did (and the
    bazillion ensuing polls and the final recipes)...http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/the-averagely-perfect-american-ipa-project.59552/

    If you have issues with or suggestions for methodologies used in this project, please Beer Mail me. Let's keep the threads themselves on topic to the question at hand (not about how you would have asked the question differently). Thanks!

    20%. We could have knocked about 4 polls off this if we would have went with GP or MO and some crystal. ;-)

    Ps- Thanks Vike for doing these polls for our confused little HB family!

    Cheers!

    I voted for 2 row because I thought something like GP would be buried under all the other stuff, like black patent and caramel malts. At this point, I would change my 2 row vote to something like Maris Otter :slight_smile:

    hey, if you want maris otter or GP that badly, just use it. after all, it's homebrew, we can do what we want. :grinning:

    I will probably brew it as-is tho. I followed the recipe exactly* for the APA IPA and it's one of my best beers ever.

    *well, subbed in a quarter ounce of bravo for the magnum at 60, but that's a nearly negligible difference, and I'm sure my pallet could not tell the difference

    Has anyone figured out the "Vote early and vote often" strategy? Big Munich needs a boost!

    Edit: Of course, I wouldn't dream of rigging the outcome. It would be a highly despicable act that cuts against the grain (pun intended) of the time honored Averagely Perfect polling system. I was only joking. Honestly.

    This poll is going very strangely, so far. In the last poll more people voted for > 16% than voted for anything less.

    Very odd, indeed.

    I would NEVER have figured that out. Not in a million years. Nope, not me. TOO inocent to actually have conceived of a way to game the system :wink:
