Best HBT threads ever?

[TyTanium]

Also, it should be known that a certain mod or two often will make that thread disappear if too many folks get hot on its trail. Quack.

Yup, it appears that thread is now hidden EDIT: for non-premium members

Jordan - It's a good read, but there are other threads that reveal the acronym.

I think I've got the acronym nailed down... But the entertainment value has been put on a pedestal. I don't know if I even want to read it now. I would surely be let down by my high expectations.

 

[TyTanium]

That one is famous b/c of the response with the acronym (and his infamous response is actually quoted elsewhere on the forum)

But there is no shortage of other hooch-making arrogant know-it-all threads out there that are equally entertaining.


Back on topic:
Some of the weizenwerks threads were great, same with that guy who "revolutionized" brewing with all his short-cut close-enough procedures.
The one where Vinnie posted was pretty sweet.
Oh, and: One Entrepreneur Wanted
My favorite is this thread: Forgot key ingredient

 

[Tiber_Brew]

I hope that someday I, too, can become an EAC...

After reading through the entire thread, I was so tempted to bump the Sofa King. It would then be truly legendary in Zombie status.

Why would you bumping it make it any more legendary than it already is? There's never been a thread in all of HBT and several other forums, that even approaches it....

You are correct, it is awesome in it's own right

 

[Revvy]

And it was so great when the code monkeys finally let Zul'jin out of the institution and he could rejoin us.

"I calling tyou out *******!"

 

[BrotherGrim]

You know it is legendary when references to it on another thread make you laugh maniacally.

 

[Revvy]

YEP!!!!!!!

And your response did it to me.

I really want another glass of IPA, but I am afraid it is going to kick the keg. Crap. Screw it, I'm going for it

End/

 

[BrotherGrim]

FYI... Victory! Keg did not kick!

 

[Revvy]

FYI... Victory! Keg did not kick!

My IPA kicked a week ago....And I don't think my Belgian Blonde or Irish Ale are too far behind. I brewed my Kentucky common Monday. I've been thinking about a Cooper's Sparkling Ale kit to tide me over til I can get another brew or two in. I'm suddenly getting into a lager mood. Been drinking a lot of Michigan Micro Lagers over the last couple weeks. And just tried Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold the last couple days. Actually I'm probably going to pick up another 6 on the way home.

*Back to our regularly scheduled program*

GASP, Revvy I did not realize you were one of the elder brewers who would stoop to making an occasional Coopers kit!!!!

BTW, I have one on the way right now. If I didn't brew an occasional extract batch on my stove or a Coopers kit, I'd be brewing WAY less.

 

[Airborneguy]

5 pages and no one mentions the Edmund Fitzgerald thread?

Weizenwerk's "outing" definitely belongs up there. Oh, every single thing about me matches up with this poster on another forum? Yeah, coincidence, that's not me.

 

[Revvy]

This one had moments of epic-ness. Its ready.

But the epic threads have to be the ones with her in it....Which were legendary even before I got here...and are only whispered about late at night, and noone dares speaketh her name......

In fact I hear tell the threads of hers that the mods killed weren't just locked, the servers where they were on were smashed to bits, and the pieces sunk in a lead-lined safe into the marianus trench.

 

[cheezydemon3]

WTF?????????

Actually Revvy, that's what we need! (no not a lead lined locker) Who here is an elder?

Yooper won't stoop to post here I guess, who else is? Where's Orfy?

 

[passedpawn]

Most epic post? Maybe not "epic" in that it didn't reference a porch couch or unicorns. But, while seemingly simple, it's interesting for historical reasons.

Maybe he was an old school bathtub and Fleishmann's kinda guy. Couldn't deal with all the EACs.

The THREAD KILLA!!!!!!

Too bad that got merged.

There was a post a while back about a guy making grocery store beer. He used stuff like malt-o-meal, shredded wheat, bakers yeast, and some kind of tea that had hops in it.

I know some of the regulars will be able to dig this thread up.

It started off by people flipping him a bunch of crap about the swill he was producing. Eventually, people started showing interest in the brew and I think there were some people that actually gave the recipe a shot.

I remember some of the pics he posted and it looked more like lemonade than beer.

Now I'm intrigued. Found these but I don't think it's the one. Interesting though.

No, it was a dude that made a gawd awful concoction with some tea and stuff. A few people here made it. It might have had milk or some other dairy product in it. About 6 months ago.

[edit] Here it is: 8$ wheat bush beer

 

[Revvy]

We have a contender for a nigh on possibly epic thread...at least in terms of Originality, NOT because it's a trainwreck.

A tale of Halloween brewing.

This I will brew.

There was one thread from a guy who was fermenting Ovaltine. That was amusing

 

[dfc]

The banana cream thread with no conclusion was pretty awesome. I'm not sure if the "heavy cream" thread linked to earlier was it or not. I'm at work and can't really read through a lot at the moment.

 

[slomo]

I believe The thread was my sister likes to brew in her thong or panties. Also short skirts. How short is too short?
