Bell’s Batch 10,000 : 100 hops and 60 malts…..

The very opposite of a Smash brew.  I’m open minded, how does this one NOT end up a muddled mess?

I can't see how that would work out at all.  But, the final beer may prove me wrong.

Clearly this is a beer that Bell's has worked very hard to perfect, ingredient by ingredient.   Roll Eyes
Talk about haphazardly combining ingredients.  I imagine the brewmaster just sitting down with some brewing software and just punching in as many ingredients as possible and adjusting quantities until the numbers came out to what they were looking for.
