re: Steve Blinkhorn's msg.
While Steve is aghast at the lack of rigour in our zymurgy related research
his recommended strategy contains a glaring hole.  Single malt is a term
frequently associated with scotch, not beer.  Beer usually contains a mix
of several malted barleys.  Is Steve advocating that we measure scotch and
beer as a single variable?  While I realize it is extrememly popular for
researchers in this area to mix the two, such a design will surely provide
blurry results at best.  I think it is obvious that far more variance will be
accounted for by measuring these as the two distinctly separate variables that
they are.
