How do you pronounce "trub"?

[TravelingLight]

I was looking up something in The Joy of Homebrewing by Charles Papazian last night and this statement jumped out at me:

"...the sediment is called trub (pronounced 'troob')."

Is that correct?? I've always pronounced it "trubb," as in the "Hubble" Telescope, or the "bubbles" in beer.

Have I been wrong for years?!

Trooooooooob.

Really accentuate the "ooooooooooooooo" sound. Hold it until someone leaves the room.

 

[Fedora]

Trub rhymes with tube and lube.

Yes.

I had the funniest visual on this and it made me LOL. I will be doing this at some point if the opportunity arises.

The correct way is to pronounce it is "Troob". I think it's socially acceptable in the US to also pronounce it the way it is written: "Trub".

Just don't let any Germans catch you doing it.

 

[m00ps]

Better to not let any Germans catch you doing anything

That is the ONLY time it's worth mispronouncing.

I still say trub (tr-uh-b), and wort (war-t). I know I'm dead wrong but:

A; It's funny to me to have people sperg out on me like I know nothing, and
B; I think they sound better that way.

 

[ejf063]

I say it like the op. "Rub" with a t in front....
I agree marshmallow it just sounds better

 

[GrogNerd]

troob. as in ****

sometimes trooby. as in ****y.

wish there were a plural version so I could say troobies. as in ****ies

 

[GHBWNY]

The German origin (meaning "cloudy") actually has an umlaut (two little dots) over the u, in which case it is pronounced "trueb", as if the u and e are one. I was in Germany 15 months, learned to speak the language sufficiently, but some words are simply too much work. Although "troob" is closer to the original, I still pronounce it "trubb" as in, "I'm in trubble now; I sucked some yeast sediment up my racking cane."

At the LHBS I always ask where the terrified wheat is.

The reason you can't find it is because it is hiding.

They keep it all hunched over in the corner.

 

[TravelingLight]

Well I'll be damned. Thanks for the good laughs this morning, gents. I'm sticking with trubb because 'MERKA.

I'd keep a bag of pebbles behind the counter for this. When he asks for the terrified wheat I'd say we are out but still have a little petrified left.

 

[dmtaylor]

It's definitely "troob", not "truhb".

Also, wort is "wert", not "wart". Everybody loves to get this one wrong. Think of the words "words" and "work". You wouldn't say "wards" or "wark", right? Same thing with "wort".

Too bad we can't use the umlaut on web forums...

Hey - We kicked the German's asses in the Big One.

Gerry ain't gonna tell me how to pronounce Trub.

I can pronounce it any way I damn well please.

And if Gerry don't like it, I'll kick his ass all the way back to the Kaiser.
