Intercession Research Plan
Over the intercession I plan to do as much reading on my topic as I can, specifically about the ingredients and practices they would have used during the late 1800s. I will start with what I have in my annotated bibliography, and then move on from there to fill in the blanks, with the ultimate goal of being able to develop a historic recipe with Swiftwater brewing. I'll probably spend an hour or two most days reading my various sources, instead of my normal nightly reading. Since I won't be back in Rochester until late January, I want to be be able to talk with them about what we could do within the first week that I get back. Since the process of brewing will take about two and a half months to complete, I want to be able to get started on it as soon as possible. It will also be a great starting point for the rest of my writing.

This sounds like a fun project! I assume that you will include the recipe you come up with in your appendix. Will you also share your results online?
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best of luck in your endeavors during intersession. While it is unfortunate that you will not have an excessive amount of time to research during break, I believe that your plan you have proposed will work as long as you stick to it. I feel as though you are passionate about your project and it sounds like it will be an interesting experience for you. In a similar vein as Carly, will you be trying the results of your historic recipe?
