What are you "unlearning" for the good of brewing?
|
|
You know what they say, the brain has a limited capacity. One day you might learn a simple factoid like Glen Close is actually a woman, then you forget how to blow your nose in order to make room for the new information.
Today I found out that, after reading a ton of old posts in this forum in order to learn about brewing, I forgot how to speak French!! I was actually quite pleased about that! Having lived there 4 years and struggling with the language on a daily basis. (Languages were never my strong point) I felt very grateful that I could not remember that "Framboises" were raspberries, and not strawberries. After thinking on it a little more, I then realised I could not recall the French word for strawberries either!! GO ME!!!
I am assuming that my sudden lack of understanding basic French means, that while perusing this site I learned at least TWO pieces of brewing related information that my clever little brain has decided are more important than a French shopping list! GO BRAIN!!!
Hold on, maybe it's just old timer's disease setting in.
Have you unlearned anything today for the sake of beer perfection?

I have unlearned how to be selfish with beer.
When i was buying cheap BMC it was rare that there would be a whole lot of shareage.
Now it seems I almost get offended if people do not at least try my beer. And if they have 2 or 5 or 10 pints them I am happy.

Damn, is this why I can't recall vocabulary words?  I have a sort-of encyclopedic mind in a way and whenever a topic comes up (that I enjoy and know) I usually start on some long explanation or rant on said subject. I was thinking that the acquisition of brewing knowledge may have pushed out some vocabulary into the nether regions of my mind.  Ya know?
