**** me, Masterchef will surely not be as interesting in the future!

What's double malt beer?

Just think about if for a second, one of these at home and there'd be no more secrete ingrediants. You could nail down any recipe fairly quickly, food and beer or anything really

given the complexity and endless array of beers to be made, that robot sounds pretty damn useless. say a beer style ranges from 5 - 6.5% and IBU's ranging from 30 - 45, surely a robot that is supposedly 'trained' couldn't be that accurate when all other factors are considered.

What next

"SPANISH researchers have created an electronic "tongue" capable of distinguishing between beer varieties and alcohol content.
The artificial organ was accurate nearly 82 per cent of the time, said its creators – and could be the first step towards developing robots with a sense of taste.
The taster was made using 21 electrodes, each responsive to different chemical compounds such as ammonium, sodium, nitrate or chloride, according to researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Exposed to beer, the electrode bundle yielded chemical data that could be analysed for patterns with which to identify the different brews.
It could tell the difference between Schwarzbier, lager, double malt, Pilsen, Alsatian and low-alcohol beer – all the types it was "trained" to recognise.
The "tongue" did not recognise drinks for which it had not been programmed.
The story makes it hard not to think of the Tooheys Extra Dry commercial where a man’s tongue leaps out of his mouth and goes to find a beer to bring back to him.
"These tools could one day give robots a sense of taste," said a statement on the study published in the journal Food Chemistry.
They could also "supplant panels of tasters in the food industry to improve the quality and reliability of products for consumption."

I wonder if it's given anyone a blowjob yet? What would it say?

BJCP anyone? haha

"Tastes as though it was fermented too warm and left in the fermenter too long".

Do I swallow or spit it out.
