Quiet again...
Taking on board the comments above, and with a view to getting the whole thing finished, how about this:
1. Brewers submit prospective recipes to a deadline.
2. The candidate recipes are published on this forum simultaneously.
3. Contributors vote on their preferred recipe.
4. There's a final period of consultation on the chosen recipe (with additional minipolls if required).
5. The recipe is submitted to Sam for brewing.
Would that fly?
