Hi there. I think it would be beneficial to add some sort of scoring system to the publicly shared brews. Either solely by the creator themselves or by others who then attempt the brew as well, or both. Maybe a simple 0-10 scale or something. I know it gets a bit dicey when you let people start rating others recipe's, especially when so much of the outcome depends on the brewer's process, but even if I could just see what the brewer thought of his creation, it would help me wade through the multitude of recipes. I know it's recommended that only recipes be made public if they have actually been brewed and turn out well, but even in my own experience, there is a big difference between a good brew(6) and an outstanding one(9). Not to knock on anyone's brewing practices, but if I go searching for a recipe and find a fellow member who is consistently brewing, and brewing all grain, using starters and manipulating his water profile and he/she rates one of their creations highly, it would help me distinguish what recipes in the database I might try brewing. Even on the flipside, if you rated something poorly, it could help me stear away from something similar during recipe formulation? Maybe make it optional, or only available to members? Thanks for the consideration! jon-recreation brewery
