A couple of my homebrews led to my second son who will cost upwards of a million $$ to raise and put through college. Now that's some expensive beer!
No. Steam is condensed water vapor. Water vapor is invisible.
In the power industry they talk of wet steam and dry steam. Wet steam has condensed water and you do not want that going into a turbine that is not designed for it. Dry steam is vapor and that is what you want going through your turbine.
I'm not going to argue, except to tell you you're wrong. Look it up.
From wikipedia (i'm not busting out textbooks):
I can brew for a couple years for a grand and buy a **** ton of new equipment to play with. I have said it before and I'll say it again, " A beer that costs more than $10 a pint better cause spontaneous orgasms!"

Since you seem to actually know what you're talking about, how about telling us the difference between the two and settle this argument before it devolves into thermodynamics and matter/antimatter conversations.
What people normally call steam, the stuff coming out of the tea kettle is a combination of condensation (not steam but liquid) and low pressure steam.
With dry steam the temperature is above, and can be very much above, the boiling point (phase change temperature from water to gas is more technically correct) of water for the given pressure. Thus all the water molecules are alone and moving fast. You can't see this, it contains a lot of energy, and if it hits you in any quantity it will cook the meat right off your bones in a matter of seconds.
Wet steam, is really a combination of steam and condensation. The steam has lost enough energy (temperature has dropped) that some of the water molecules have once again joined together in droplets of liquid water. Note, in a pressurized system this may still be well above 212 degrees F.

Want something funny?

Yes, I can see it now. Addict's pale ale.

That is actually a little scary. What if such a yeast went wild? Or they build a yeast that creates toxins and it goes wild. You get a wild strain in your fermenter and instead of a sour or off tasting beer you high as a kite or dead.
Ahhh I just yesterday got asked one of the big ones by a classmate after brewing for over two years: "Oh, you homebrew? Like in the tub?"
Followed by questions about the process: "So what do you use, like just sugar?"
"No, malt, which is...."
"Oh I thought it was like: I have a pint of beer so I just throw in that much table sugar and I´m good."
And that in Sweden which is not the most craft backwards country by a long shot.
Thankfully conversation shifted on nicely from there, especially cause of a girl who used to work at a bar that had Belgian beers. A sour fan actually. Gonna present 4 of my brews on Thursday to some of my class as to their request. Should be fun. Green tea and lemon saison, noble-hopped up sour saison, double mandarin wit, and a Mandarina Bavaria wheat strong ale.
Whish me luck. xD

We haven't talked about water vapor lately...
I've been loving these and just wanted to thank those responsible.
Please keep them coming - they're the funniest things on HBT (and frankly the only thing keeping this thread from being intubated )
Cheers!
"Damn right I'm gonna party with 'em. You ain't invited, tho...""When are you going to have a party with all your home made beer?"
the other day at work: "When are you going to have a party with all your home made beer?"
pssshhh! like I'm gonna share!
Host party, guests try beer:
Dark beer??? I thought you made Bud Light!
