Sticky for our best communal recipes?

I agree with Ash's and Kevnlis' comments, and that seems to me to be a good way to go.

I concur.

Also I think Pale_Ale's catergory list is good for covering everything without ending up with eleventy billion subforums

Depends on the way the recipes within the categories are managed. If it is open for any random to post a recipe then I feel the categories would get too cluttered with such a limited number of sub-forums. If however the recipes were limited to the communal favourites than that would be a better way of doing things IMHO. Perhaps the recipes could be posted in the general recipe section and then moved to and locked in the proper category to keep things clean?

Hi Oliver,

Just a thought on the categories, so as not to have too many sections, you could have broader headings i.e

Amber / Golden / Pale Ale
Dark Ale / Porter / Stout
Strong Ale / Belgian / Trappist
Lager / Pilsner
Wheat Beer
Cider / Ginger Beer / Lemonade
Barleywine / Mead / Braggot

Or something like it. I think the contents would be quite manageable even under these broad headings, after all only our best communal recipes will be posted in there.

Cheers,
Pale_Ale :lol:

I'd quite like to see cider/mead in there too.

by **Kevnlis** » Saturday Jan 05, 2008 6:08 pm

Looks great Oliver. Though may I suggest Amber Ale as a popular style? Maybe Cider and Mead as well? Mead is not hugely popular here but I think there are quite a few that do ciders?

OK team,

With the new forum, it should be possible to do this.

Any more suggestions for categories?

* American pale ale (this is such a distinctive and sought-after style that maybe it's worth putting by itself???)
* Pale ale
* Dark ale, porter and stout
* Strong ale
* Other ale styles
* Pilsner (again, this is a large group so maybe should have its own section?)
* Lager
* Wheat beer
* Trappist beer (?)
* Ginger beer (?)
* Lemonade (?)
* Other brewed beverages

Perhaps what I should do is create these categories under the existing Recipes section, then sort all the existing posts into their relevant section.

With the new set-up of the forum, you wouldn't see these additional categories until you actually clicked into the Recipes section. This means they wouldn't clog up the front page.

Thoughts?

Oliver

Still catching up on old threads.....

Docs award winning recipes would be in there too.

I think it would be a great idea. I have a truckload in my favourites saved

Cheers

Mind you, if anyone wants recipes, try this link. It has AG, partials, and kit based recipes.

What about an additional one for ciders/GBs or should that be left in the other brews thread?

Could be maybe not spilt up the beers as much so make pale ales one, lagers/pils another, wheats etc. Could make it about 6 or so?

Either that or a sticky of links to threads as rwh suggests. It saves new members from searching but doesnt take up half a page of stickies.

You could have a single sticky locked thread at the top which has one post in it, which is just links to all the other threads, one for each style, which are not sticky.

Maybe as Kev suggested, we have a pilsner sub-forum, PA sub-forum etc instead of a big generic 'Recipes' forum. Then everyone can vote on the 'best' recipe, and that'll become the one sticky at the top.

Just an idea.

I like that idea. Makes looking for a recipe of a particular style much easier.
