You got there first I guess

 

[flyinhawaiian]

I am an honest believer that there are only two types of beer,
1. beer that tastes good and gets you drunk.
2. beer that tastes like crap and gets you drunk.

You never had a beer that tastes like crap and doesn't get you drunk?!

That's what happens when you go to the liquor looking for a fix, say "I want to try something new!," and go home with a box of non-alc... sucks.

I tried the Dog Fish Head gluten free last month just cause I had read about gluten free beers. Thought I'd try something new and didn't like it, so didn't drink the other 3. The next day I had the runs. Couple weeks later tried another one, still didn't like it and had the runs again.

I guess that would be more like "funny things that happen to you because of beer"!!

Would that make you intolerant of gluten intolerance or gluten dependant?

Lol that sucks. I was at a buddys house and was drinking a stout of his. Good stuff. Had about three or four glasses, then asked him the ingredients. Amongst all the other stuff, He tells me there was about a pound of lactose in it. Given the fact that I'm lactose intolerant, it made for a very bad morning after...

Hahaha that's rough, but certainly hilarious.

I think we can just move the funny things overheard about beer to this thread.

I have a 15 gallon blonde that went bad from the start sitting in my lager fridge for the last 6 months....

Decided to try it last night..... horrible idea

 

[cyanmonkey]

Decided to try it last night..... horrible idea

Why'd it go bad?

 

[kickflip_mj]

Why'd it go bad?

Lame reason, I forgot to make starter, then had to wait 24 hours to pitch it. Somewhere in that short period of time it got a little infection. I transfer everything in a close loop too. Nothing super noticeable till week 2, when it started to taste sour.

 

[elsphinc]

Sometimes I just don't want to clean.

...why...why do you keep...cotton balls and vegetable soup in your tun?

 

[Frilock]

Cotton candy with sprinkles?

 

[KVANTAN]

I used to brew in Malaysia (illegal because of sharia law) and my Muslim maids would clean up my mess. I paid them well. But yes, they will go to hell now. Also had one of them making me bacon when I could get it.

I believe they have protection against being tricked into eating pork, or I suppose cleaning the devil's juice.

 

[sheephrdr]

um I can wait 3 weeks for my beer to get to bottles but cant wait more than 3 days (sometimes 0 days) before I crack a bottle.

I bite the dry yeast packet with my teeth without sanitizing my mouth. always have

 

[Frame125]

I really hate all the cleaning and sanitizing to bottle and can't afford a keg setup so I haven't been bottling . I have cut way back on my beer drinking so I don't run out of what I have and I have 2. 5 gallon batches that have been done but are"ageing?" Kind of . Also I had Gave out and watched eat Pork Rinds to Iraqis I didn't like during the war.

 

[BakerBrew]

I've been brewing for a year now, but I only turned 20 a couple months ago. I actually moved away from home just to support by obsession with beer. Brewing is my life. It consumes all of my free time and thoughts with writing recipes, sanitizing everything, reading, etc. I currently have 3 active carboys and can't wait to bottle them all!

Banishment coming in 3.. 2.. 1..

Don't say you're under 21 on HBT, unless you want to be like Gary_Oak.

 

[slym2none]

BakerBrew needs to start a thread so it can turn epic after he's bant.

 

[eddiewould]

Is home-brewing illegal for minors in the US? That is sensible.

Not only can minors home brew beer here, they could (theoretically) legally distill spirits.

Ahh good ol NZ.

We need the NZ distilling rights here in the USA.

Brew on

Brewed all day today, didn't have one beer while brewing.

That's sacrilegious!

 

[bondra76]

My confessions -

I don't chill my wort anymore. I just don't see the point. I use a water bath inside of a chest freezer, so I can always get it down to temp in 4 hours or so.

I strongly dislike high ABV beer - used to be infatuated with them until every tap on my kegerator was 8%+. Never again will that happen.

As scientific as I like to make it seem, I'm coming to realize a lot has to go haywire for your beer to be horrible. But I like telling myself that I do all these special things or use these awesome $100 gadgets to make better beer than you. For the most part its not true though.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

This was me today too. Totally out of character, but it was my first parti-gyle and I wanted to stay clear.

Slippery slope here. This is a very fun hobby, but you are young person who needs more than a hobby. Either make this a career, or put it in perspective as "just a hobby." The fact that you are passionate about something (anything), puts you ahead of most. My unsolicited advice: Just make sure your passion matches up with your goals for the future.

Let us know what you're up to in a year, age 21.
