OK I succumbed. Got about 34 seconds... Think his had a few?
Folks, guess what, TSA was a member on here for a short time. Several of us, me included, tried to talk him down during his early brewing with the Coopers kit. He was on here every five minutes updating his thread about the latest "disaster" with his beer. He eventually got himself banned. You might still be able to find his old posts. He was under the name mikedavid00. Unfortunately, only a handful of his posts remain as I think his original thread got locked when he refused to listen to what ANYONE was telling him. Also, he's a total jerk to Craigtube and, love him or hate him, that guy never hurt anyone. Just an FYI, I'm in the love Craigtube camp!

I read a thread I found. Holy cow now I just feel bad. This guy is SERIOUSLY unstable and obviously needs professional help.
I got to look for the old threads lol. This guy is just way over the top, to the point where he's not even having fun presenting his videos, just listen to his fake laugh and "laugh track". At least craigtube is cool, laid back, and can teach a lot to a new homebrewer

Wow that's classic. I thought I was paranoid with sanitation. Get this guy a job at White Labs. Seriously though it's over the top but I'm sure White Labs and Wyeast go through much greater lengths to isolate, reproduce, maintain yeast in a sterile environment. All beer, especially homebrew, is infected with wild yeast, bacteria, spores, etc. It's everywhere and its unavoidable. Hence the necessity to cool wort quickly and pitch your yeast. Even if this guy left his beer in the carboy, sealed for moths after boiling; some bacteria or wild yeast would eventually take hold. It is not within the scope of homebrewers in a modern kitchen to keep a 100% sterile environment nor is it advisable. I think I'm done with brewing.

Went back and read the thread from the guy that is still open on here. I actually kind of feel bad now but it is still so amusing I cannot help myself.

I think I found the person at fault for his overzealous sanitation procedures.....
From Revvy:
"...mikedavid00...If you are leaving your beer x days and getting an infection, then it's not the process of leaving the beer someplace, it's the fact that YOU are skimping on cleaning and fermentation. It's not the fault of long primary, it's operator error. "
it is really funny to see the process of him getting banned in that one thread lol

Several issues with you statements.1) Homebrew is just as infected as commercial brews. No more, no less.
2) Cooling you wort quickly is due to "off-flavours", not sanitation.
3) I hope you are being sarcastic about being done with brewing. It is an enjoyable hobby with a huge bonus in the bottle.

I think our friend here wants to be Craig, he might even want to wear his skin..
This guy is making a feeble attempt at parody, I used to thing he was just a ****** bag but NO BODY can be such a self centered jackass. I have watched this dork for awhile since he started a feud with craigetube on youtube. I can`t believe this thread has gone on so long....DAMN!!! now I have made it longer.....

all in all, KUDOS for sharing knowledge.

You guys are shady. Even this guy know it. The whole brewing world is shady. Oh wait I must be shady too. WTF is this guy talking about.
Now I cannot WAIT to get home and check out these vids. Sounds perfectly horrid!
I think someone needs to RDWHAHB and get laid. (For real, not the store-bought kind)

Yeah, it's really too bad his initial thread was deleted. I mean, it didn't matter what you told the guy he just refused to listen. I've watched a lot of his videos because they are so entertaining!

Any chance the old threads can be brought back from the dead so we can read them? Sounds like some funny ****.

In one of the videos a couple minutes in he mentions that his wife was holding the camera because they didn't have a tripod with them. Yeah, somebody married that guy.

Beer, not rocket chemistry

All anyone needs to know about this cat, is that he does craft beer reviews. First step, pour beer into a frosted mug. End of story.

Palmala Handerson?
I've been too afraid to watch the videos for fear of shorting out the new pacemaker, but your comments are a hoot. I didn't realize I had a run in with this guy. Sheesh....

I love the video where he shows you his homeade pizza, he really likes that pizza. The five minute slomo of the cheese stretching out is proof. I'm also a big fan of the one where he flashes the wads of cash so you can see how cool he is...so gangsta. The one where he denies the holocaust is also pretty good.

This guy is a lunatic. You need to check out his 11 minute review of Southern Tier IPA where he brings his wife in at the end. Classic!

That guy is married?!
Well according to some of the comments on his youtube page he's stopped making video partially because he found out his wife was playing hide the hydrometer with someone else. Of course he might deny that as well, he seems to like to deny painful truths.

His "trip to Dominican republic" video made me wanna puke!
The beer he reviews (Brahma) is the same I used to drink a lot in my college years in Brazil... A classic crappy adjunct lager, but he seemed to have loved it!

Exactly:rockin:, crapy cheap lager that you need to drink at 30F, otherwise it taste like, what, rice hulls?
I've been a follower of his for a while now and used his principals to refine my techniques.
This is a typical starter making session.
That picture rocks! Agent Orange Yeast!
JESUS he put 1/2 cup of bleach into 6 gallons of water to sanitize his container? I'll bet that beer tasted great.

What a dork, his videos should be a sticky for new brewers on what not to do.
