Are you a brewer?

[Mutine Bullfrog]

I think your a brewer when you start creating and brewing your own recipes whether it's extract or all grain.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

The real question is whether we should brew these beers indoors with propane, in the converted keg we didn't return from our last party, using bleach to sanitize everything, and skipping the secondary because we use extra gelatin to clear our beer...

Don't forget your primary is plastic, and you bottle with twist off's.

You grind your grains with a coffee grinder and you use you finger for a thermometer.

 

[RICLARK]

don't forget to piss on the beer bottles to remove the labels..

I thought you only pissed on jelly fish stings?:cross:

I urinate on mine and let them sit in the sun. Labels come right off and it makes for good conversation later on when my buddy's are drinking the beer

Only good thing that guy ever said. lol

Like its already been stated I think there are different levels. Similar to when I classified my guitar students when I taught lessons...there were guitar owners, guitar players, and the rare guitarist.

hmmm, maybe this didn't translate so well. In my region, the phrase 'stirring up ****' simply means that someone brings up what they know will be a controversial subject which will likely lead to a polarizing debate/discussion.

It was not intended to be a crtiticism.

Well Kenche, it seems you are right.

I just asked a simple question. You lot stirred the **** but I suppose I supplied the stick (question)



I think the real answer (If there is one) is that if you consider yourself a brewer then you are a brewer because other peoples opinions don't really matter.

Don't forget your primary is plastic, and you bottle with twist off's.

WOW! you really ARE an EAC! Poking fun at the material a fermenter is made of and the type of bottles used.

I Wish my beer was as amazingly wonderful as yours is!

Of course, the fermenter material has no bearing on the final product.

The capping style of the bottle is irrelevant.

Your ability with AG equipment is most likely less efficient, less sanitary as well as a LOT less practiced and professional than the people who make the extract kits that I buy.

So all things being considered, I am most likely making MUCH better beer in my plastic fermenter, using a complete extract brew and bottling in twist offs than you can make.

But.. you think you are the real deal, so I guess I'll just get back in my box.. and "NOT brew" my beer that I am very happy with and all of my friends think is fantastic.

And AGAIN, we have a failure of the Sarcasm Meter...

Is the art of brewing mearly pitching yeast?

Or does it have to involve more?

I personally don't consider mixing extract water and yeast brewing.
Yes it is making beer but it's a bit like putting a ready meal in the microwave and buttering a piece of bread. You can't call your self a chef.

I'm not getting into the debate about good beer coming from purely extract and I'm not saying people shouldn't do it.

So my question is;

Is every one that makes beer a brewer?

The knowledge I have gained in my short time brewing my own beer has been invaluable. Regardless of whether or not I'm using an extract kit, I brewed it. I boiled the water, I mixed in the malt and timed my hop additions, and I added the yeast. Sure, it may have been prepackaged in a kit, and I may not have bred the yeast, but I made it all happen where it counts.

So get off your high horse already. Feh.

...what was that about feeding trolls? lol

Cheers~

Oh oh oh. Wait just a second there. Orfy, you are a MODERATOR for gosh sake. Have you no shame???

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Yeesh guys, have your sarcasm detectors been turned off this week?

Those were all items that were hotly debated in the past leading no where. The type of statements that immediately lead to 100 post counts. lol

Rememebr, 1 2 3 4 breath, 1 2 3 4 breath...

 

[Silviakitty]

I didn't feel like a brewer when I was using Mr Beer (that's a personal opinion, not a judgement. ). I did feel like a brewer when I used my first Brewer's Best kit. I'm feeling more like a brewer now that I'm gathering ingredients for recipes rather than using kits.

Basically, I consider myself a neophyte brewer.

Brewing is like sex,some people need more equipment and to take more time,but...... get the same results !

...Rememebr, 1 2 3 4 breath, 1 2 3 4 breath...

Hey...hey...hey...who do you think you are?!?!?!?

If I want to breath...I'll breath. And I'll do it when I'm ready. And if I want to breath 123, 123 and not your 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 method as you think is so peeeerfect...then that's what I'll damn well do... Just cuz I don't do it exactly your way doesn't mean I'm not a breather...

Who died and made you the grand pubah of breathing anyway???

Maybe I'll just stop breathing altogether because it doesn't adhere to your strict guidelines for breathing...

You...you.......you.....breathing EAC.....

That's one of the troubles with having a discussion online. It's very difficult to determine how things are delivered, even if you do use emoticons.

I don't know...my "Sarcasmeter" is working fine...

If AG is what truly makes you a brewer, then I finally am one. All though not a very skilled one.

Apparently, they actually swim straight.
