    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    It's (sort of) already been done: http://www.chicagotribune.com/dining/foodfocus/ct-macro-beer-tasting-food-0712-20170706-story.html And this is relevant because it's professional brewers and their opinions being considered...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    Wholeheartedly agree. And I've already mentioned a few times how much I respect brulosophy and marshall, fully appreciate what they're doing, and have read literally every single exbeeriment. Hell, I've even brewed some of Marshall's recipes on occasion. What I find odd is how defensive...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    Not exactly sure what you're surprised about here. You're a mod. You of all people should know just how often brulosophy is quoted in order to justify poor brewing habits. It's done all the time all over this forum. Sure in this particular thread that the topic is specifically about...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    What?!? He's (we're) basically being told to shut up about his (our) opinion *on the very topic of this thread.* Denny has constantly had off-topic posts about his own experiments and website, which this thread is about brulosophy specifically. Then when someone questions why we should just keep...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    I, and I believe others, think this approach to the site is just fine. I always do approach their results with a grain of salt as well. The difference for me is the way they communicate the results. In one sentence, they say, "Don't take these results as the end game." Yet in those same...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    Man, you sure are doing A LOT of self-advertisement for your site when the discussion isn't even about that... And more defensive posts. I mean, sure, if you guys are just fine with imperfect results that people SHOULD be ignoring. Then ok. But most of the people are simply saying things...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    I guess maybe I was a bit too wordy and/or my attempt at cleverness failed. What they show is that there might be some latitude on one single variable, and even then, not all of the time, but sometimes. This is the problem I have with the way they've worded things, and the problem others...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    We know Marshall commented on this thread earlier, but I do find it interesting that the most recent exbeeriment (posted yesterday) concluded with this: "It’s true these results are but a single point of data that ought not be accepted as gospel,..." I know they often conclude their...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    ICYMI and FTFY If you don't like statistics, then avoid the discussion. If you don't like science, then avoid the discussions. For the most part, there isn't "science" being discussed there, but the real thing. And this topic being discussed is very much still relevant to the OP because these...

    Oh, so you're saying that this sort of discussion can have implications above and beyond just homebrewing? Well, who cares!? Because it's not curing cancer...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    I have a lot of respect for you and what you've done for the homebrewing community, but this is, honestly, a very defensive looking post. If you don't enjoy the discussion going on here, then you're free to ignore it. As AJ said, some of us want to know what the numbers are actually saying...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    A couple of you are masters at the multi-quoting, I'm too lazy for that. haha. 1) I gotcha. I think. So, if a test shows that the probability is low, and thus should be thrown out, yet none of these ferment temps experiments (except for perhaps one) have reached that threshold of low enough...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    I did read your stuff as well throughout the thread. With what time I have to read on this forum, it took me a couple of days to sort through this thread. It's obvious you know what you're talking about. And only now have stated just how much you know about statistics, even though it was...

    Do "professional" brewers consider brulosophy to be a load of bs?

    Man, I'm not as nerdy into statistics as a few of you guys by a long shot, but I nerded out on this thread with you. Thanks AJ and bwarbiany for the great posts. My inclinations were initially the same as yours B, but I didn't have the stats background to show it. And then as AJ pointed out, it...

    Is water the most important element of home brewing and what is the best water you ha

    For the record, I wasn't intending my posts to be snarky, but truthful. OP asked basically if fuji water and expensive waters would be best to use for brewing. The answer was a pretty clear, "no, because that's not how science works. here's how science works. if you want the best water...

    Is water the most important element of home brewing and what is the best water you ha

    Then I guess we understand how little you understand about water chemistry now. Which is fine, of course. But just don't expect people to not come onto your thread about brewing water chemistry and tell you how you can get the same water chemistry of these specific waters you'd like to brew...

    Is water the most important element of home brewing and what is the best water you ha

    or, you know, you could just... wait for it... learn a little bit about what those specific waters contain as far as minerals, go buy some RO water, and then some different salts, and boom, you'll be cooking and brewing with that water in no time...
