At the present the following problems seem to exist with the recipe:

  • There should not be any sugar in a good beer recipe.
  • The malt should be in hotter water to do an extraction of the level they talk about.
  • To my understanding, this is an ale. I've read a fair amount of articles that call it an ale.
  • That said, it would help to narrow down a good ale yeast to use.
  • Oh, and can we at least decide what type of bear it is?
  • What is the alpha of the hops? And why so much tettnang? Should some be thrown in as flavoring and the rest as finishing?

[edit] Remove "Wikipedia" from section heading

I changed the section heading from "Wikipedia Vores Øl" to "Recipe for Vores Øl". There were two problems with it:

  1. Avoid self-references.
  2. It seemed to imply that the recipe was some kind of Wikipedia variant of Vores Øl, to be modified as editors feel like. Although everybody has freedom to modify the recipe, this is not the place to do so, because the article should not contain original research. A notable modified recipe could of course be included.

[edit] Remove...?

This whole article is questionable. How many people are behind this project? Has anyone outside that, asumeably small, society ever heard of it? Is wikipedia a recipe book? Can I publish the recipe of my favourite cookies here, calling it an Open Source project? Medico80

I recall seeing an interview with the people behind it in the evening news some months back. People know about it, particularly in homebrew and open source circles. --Pekaje 09:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright infringement?

The free beer recipe seems to be licensed under CC-SA, which, to my understanding, is incompatible with GFDL. Do we have the permission of the authors of free beer to distribute the recipe under GFDL?
