I see that ya'll used to do a community recipe every few months...what happened? That sounds super interesting, would anyone be interested in getting that going again?
Let hear it!How about a Scottish Export Ale in honor of the departed Sir Connery...Bond, James Bond.
Well how about this, tried to check all the boxes and keep it as simple as possible...

I had McEwans on draft In Edinburgh and it was heavenly. Took a pic so I wouldn’t forget to look in storesLooks very good. I have made a copy and converted it for all the "Squirrels" as you call us - apparently - i.e. all using Imperial measures. It is on my list of beers to do next.
I've kept the same name: Oh and I have tweaked the water to make it like the water we have in my home town of Edinburgh - where McEwans Export comes from.

Maybe should have been Blonde, James Blonde lol
Yeah my main thing right now is the planning. In order to take advantage of MoreBeer's free shipping program I'm now ordering ingredients for 3-4 brews at once. That and the fact I'm currently at about a one brew a month pace means I currently have all my brews through February planned. I have a porter planned for January so I could actually with a couple substitutions make a similar beer to you guys. I would just have a pound of victory malt I'd have to figure out how to repurpose. What a terrible problem to have!So I've been giving the community recipe thing a bit more thought the evening.
Why dont we do a bit of a pass the buck type thing where one by one the regular brewers on this forum can put forward their favourite homebrew recipe they brew regularly? It could be a quarterly thing or more frequently just to give everyone time to make a choice to go ahead and brew it and gather ingredients for the recipe.
Maybe it could work?
A bit of a speal about what you love about it, why you brew it so often.
Maybe different variations you've tried or yeast choices one could think about using when brewing.
This could also be a way to test our brewing abilities and make us brew beers we dont brew.
Anyhow what do we think you rekon it might be a goer?
I would be more than happy to brew your fav recipes.
Cheers.
