I appreciate the links and I am not (was not) asking for anyone to provide any further information for me, don't get me wrong.
Just to be sure, what you are saying is the following:
1) it was alright for someone else to post this recipe from AHS (and others from AHS), even if they are not the recipe author.
2) it is alright to ask about extract substitutions in other recipes listed in this forum. This includes the AHS Blue Moon Clone recipe discussion of extract substitutions
here for example, which was not posted by the recipe author either.
3) it is not alright for *me* to ask about extract substitutions for this one recipe. Why this one recipe?
If there is some rule about posting which separates the AHS Belgian Wheat Recipe from all others including the AHS Blue Moon Clone recipe, then perhaps it should be posted somewhere. I just do not see the logic behind this mystery rule. I would like to follow this rule. Are there any other recipes that I am not allowed to ask questions about? I mean, I read the rules.
I guess being singled out when there is so much precedent before me is making me feel attacked, yes.
