Add historical beer recipes to the site #34

Open danielgtaylor opened 12 years ago

danielgtaylor commented 12 years ago

We should add historical and popular free beer recipes to the site to help seed the content and to show up for more searches. Some examples:

Should these be added under a normal user account, or should there be a way to give attribution to the source or a 'malt.io' or 'Beers from the Ages' pseudo-account or something?

They should probably be linked with some kind of novelty account we own. I've considered the names of some of the authors (like the founding fathers) but I'm not sure.

On a related note, if we make a malt.io account we can also add some default recipes people can clone to get started, like a basic lager, basic wheat beer, basic Belgian, basic stout, etc.

The goal here is to seed the site with content and make it easier for newbies to try out the site.
