Easy:
"oh, so you prefer the toilet piss water instead?"
Wailua isn't cloudy, drinking one right now. It's a wheat beer just like how SA Summer Ale is a wheat beer but is crystal clear.
unionrdr said:When I posted my IPA recipe on a certain Aussie site,& got flamed for wasting 6oz of hops.
The particular flamer also said 20-30 minute hop additions are bittering.
He got mad when I tried to tell him 30 minutes on down is for flavoring & aroma.
He then gets snotty I tries to claim this graph says that & this & those & them.
That if I wanted to waste good hops & money,go ahead.
And some other downright rude BS. Gotta love the smarta$$ of the world who don't know how to talk to people.
Just be happy he doesn't own a home brew store! There's a certain shop in San Francisco which the owner of has refused to sell a friend of mine the hops he wanted because it was "too many hops and the beer will taste bad. These over hopped IPAs are stupid." My buddy, who does like "punch you in the face" hopping, was actually buying hops for two batches.
I tried to explain the whole hop bittering/flavor/aroma thing. But he just insisted more that even 15-20 mins gave 50% utilization of the bittering ability of a given hop.

I was served out of a keg (thanks Dwarven_Stout). I think a few have missed my real point. Or maybe I just sound like a blathering idiot.
She may very well have served you the wrong beer but it doesn't look like that point was made. The point was made that all wheat beers are cloudy and that is absolutely not true.

I remember reading a blog by a guy who was taking a beer judge course (not in the US, so it wasn't BJCP), and he said this was one of the tests. Well, it wasn't BMC, but they gave them a pilsner darkened with food coloring and asked them to analyze it. Many of the students guessed stout or porter and talked about its roastiness.
