Craft Beer MAW(Easy Version)

Maybe if I drank more beer while cruising the forums?

Or check out "unanswered threads" on the browser version.

I know, it isn't THAT tough... but I just always feel like I don't have enough knowledge or whatever, so I don't pipe up on brewing posts, leaving it to the more experienced brewers to answer.
For other stuff, I kind of feel like I am intruding on someone else's chat, so I am pretty selective about what I chime in on.

I put up maybe a bit less than half of my posts asking questions to gain knowledge, the rest is either joking around or general chit chat with the fine folk on hbt trade forums

Hang out in the beginner's forum...lots of questions deserve a full answer in there. No just pointing them to another thread. That is not the craft beer community at all.

Kind of like chatting back n forth with you, right now... lol

I spend most of my time in that section... learning, and occasionally passing on answers... and I don't think I have ever just linky'd a different thread as an answer

You can always hang out in the alchy thread (what are you drinking now), just make sure you drink beer with hops and don't take yourself to seriously...

Not saying you did, just putting it out there that all those new guys need answers to their questions.

Even if they are all the same.

Why won't my lager yeast work in 91 degree heat?

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were criticizing... and the usual applicable answer to most of the beginner thread questions seems to be 'RDWHAHB... ' since most of the things newbs worry about are fine

I think you just need to warm it up a bit, right?

Don't make us slap you.

That's what I needed to hear when I was new. Now I am going to RDWHAHB.

Duffman... stop making my ribs hurt... 'most' of even our newest newbs are not THAT out of it... love you bro

 

[thatjonguy]

You guys are hilarious

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

My bottles aren't holding carb. I checked each one and the caps are twisted on pretty tight. What gives?

You should have used the dry package of red yeast.

As long as you dont get the hops wet, you have done it right.

 

[TobyG]

Your very welcome! Happy to do it. Let me know what you think of the HB.

Where did you get your hands on Acadie?

 

[TobyG]

When in doubt, always dry hop.

 

[TobyG]

Duh. Twist harder.

 

[MikeBergan]

Duh. Twist harder.

OMG... that almost hurt to read, I was laughing so hard

 

[thatjonguy]

No, you have to boil them first to sanitize them, then dry them in your clothes dryer.

Then you can dry hop.

We started getting Bayou Teche last year. They make some pretty solid beers IMO. I like them a lot better than Abita. Although I do like Andygator and Turbodog.

Of the jolly pumpkins, are most of them good? There are about 5 or 6 bombers on the shelves here but I have never picked them up. Suggestions?

Thanks for sharing the link. I was just talking to my brother last night about what GI will do with BCBS this year. It's like you were listening...
