Been seriously pouring over recipes coming up with some new ideas to break away from clones and recipes on the net and I can't get this one question out of my head. I couldn't find the right words to express, so let me explain a bit.
I wonder the reasoning behind the uniformity in beer recipes we see. For example:
0.5oz of Amarillo
1 oz of Simcoe
12# 2-Row
2# Munich
Why not more of
0.385oz of Amarillo
0.84 of Simcoe
0.16 of Citra
11.75 of 2-Row
1.45 of Munich
Is it just insignificant to change, thus not worth trying? Does it not really change the flavor? It just seems odd that every beer recipe is so prim and proper.
