The brewing commandments

[AnOldUR]

But Satan makes make better beer because heat sanitizes.

He never made beer anyhow, he was a wine-o!

How do you explain this . . .

 

[Beer_Guy]

I found this Commandment long ago and it is my Home Page in my browser.

[Baldy_Beer_Brewery]

Cleaning and sterilizing are two different things... you need to do both.

I'll clean and sanitize, but that's as far as I'm going to go.

 

[Brewdouche-RuBrew]

What no disinfecting, or Sterelizing?

 

[l1ranger]

honor thy thermometer and they hydrometer.

Remember the yeasties and keep them happy.

 

[robertbartsch]

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's brew!

Thou shall not get toasted causing thou to have to sleep in thy desert.

Thou shall not get a DWI

Semper Gumbi. Always Flexible

Even brewing in a bathroom yields tasty ale.

 

[soundsandsuds]

Even brewing in a bathroom yields tasty ale.

That depends on which bathroom fixture you get your brew water from.

The big breweries have been getting it from the wrong place for years, though.

Good catch.. brain must not have been working.

 

[stevedasleeve]

Man you Christians are a hoot. There are no commandments, or rules, guidelines, or strictures - try it all. It's beer man not income tax.

 

[Pivovar_Koucky]

Thou shalt clean up within 24 hours of brewing or thine partner shall smite thee.

 

[stevedasleeve]

Thou shalt clean up within 24 hours of brewing or thine partner shall smite thee.

Thine partner is an ogre and thou shouldest get another unless thou isist a big pussi.

 

[MyNameIsPaul]

Thine partner is an ogre and thou shouldest get another unless thou isist a big pussi.

Right!?! I'll do as I please...

...but only because I'm considerate and I want to keep her happy. She does the same. Life is good.

 

[Pivovar_Koucky]

Thine partner is an ogre and thou shouldest get another unless thou isist a big pussi.

Is that supposed to be a burn?

 

[ColonelForbin]

thou shall not brew, rack, or bottle with shedding dog in the same room.

 

[northernlad]

THou shalt not allow glass in thine brewery.

 

[barnyard]

Thou newbie shall have more than one fermenter. When in doubt, brew another batch.

Here Here

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

I saw this as someone's sig when I first got on here...

Never mock another brewers brewery

 

[Docjowles]

Thou shalt frost-brew triple-hopped beer with maximum drinkability. Am I doing this right?

 

[djinn88]

Thou shalt enjoy the fruits of thine labor.

Thou shalt spread the gospel of homebrew so that others may knowest its pleasures.

 

[Jcmccoy]

Have a plan! Keep notes!

 

[Bob]

Pick a style, any style (hopefully something simple like a pale ale), brew it until you get it right. Then feel free to move on to something more challenging.

This. OH, this.

Here's mine: Thou shalt not talk smack about Big Breweries, for their brewmasters are better brewers than thou shalt ever ever be, probably make bigger salaries than thou shalt ever see, and successfully deal with challenges that would make thy hair curl. Yea, verily, their beer tasteth like nothing much, but therein lies the greatest challenge, for is it not written, "Any idiot can brew IIPA, but there's nowhere to hide flaws in BJCP Category 1A"? I say unto thee, it's really kind of groovy and zen, when you come to think on it.

Okay, maybe that's a bit long-winded, but you get my drift.

Bob

 

[erykmynn]

Thou shalt learn the ABC's: Always Be Cleaning

Thou shalt gather that which is breakable and critical two-by-two

(wait I never understood that, isn't two-by-two four?)

Brewing is for the Procrastinator. If you are impatient, Find a new hobby.

I personally am very impatient. I find brewing to be a great hobby for me as I believe it has helped me with what I would consider a personality flaw.
