I keep seeing posts that say "but I'm a newb" and their join date to the forums is like 2010 or earlier lol.
You're a newb until you no longer act like it. I just pitched my stir bar, so I'm out for now.
Unless this is you .... your still a newb. Course, I bet they still think they are still rookies since they are learning something new everyday.
I hope I'm always a noob. After a couple of years, a good number of mistakes, and a few hundred gallons of beer brewed, I just also hope I'm a slightly knowledgeable noob. I know enough to know that I don't know nearly enough.
I remember I watched an episode about dogfish head and how they had to dump about $500K worth of 120 min IPA. You think he felt like a newb then?
A noob to me is one who asks questions WITHOUT doing a search in the forums first, Learning should happen til the end.

+1 We can all acknowledge that no matter how long we've been at this, there is still more that we can (and hopefully want to) learn, but that isn't the same as being a noob. Being a noob is posting panicky "No fermentation after 2 hours, is my beer RUINED?!?!" threads, and asking basic questions without attempting to search.
You're not a noob when you can honestly want to drink your beer over what you can get at the store. Took me about 40-50 batches to get to that point.
