WingedCoyote: I actually really like my neighbor. He's a fun dude. We both moved into the neighborhood at about the same time, are both involved with internet-related things, both homebrew, invite each other to parties... I'm legitimately trying to figure out what's up with his beer. :)...
Interesting! I didn't think about underpitching. He uses Wyeast smackpacks but is on a 10 gallon system... If he's only using half a smackpack per carboy that could well do it. Cheers!
So, fairly serious homebrewer here. My neighbor is too. We swap brews fairly often. On the occasions when I've drank more than like two of his beers, I wind up getting irrationally angry at things, people, etc.
Now, yes, obviously, go home PortlandLagerDude, you're drunk; but this isn't...
