WIZA 2017 Collaborative SMaSH Recipe Project

Over the course of the year, WIZA will be developing a single malt and single hop (SMaSH) homebrew recipe based on taste tests of individual ingredients.  Based on tasting results, members will vote on their favorite samples and the winning ingredients will become part of the recipe.  When a final SMaSH recipe is selected, WIZA members will get to put their own signature to the project by formulating their own brew using the SMaSH as a baseline.

For the latest status and information, please check the WIZA forums.
