How I Got Kicked From Beer Advocate (& HBT)

[Psylocide]

your misunderstanding what I'm saying I aid hops and barley are the main ingredients just because it's a fact they are and I didn't feel like listing every adjunct out there. I'm fine with all grain based Malts and adjusts and I'm also fine with pretty much every kind of sugar out there In fact I've been working on a molasses cookie porter for a while it's just when you add things that give beer a completely uncharacteristic flavor and also I limit myself because I have a way which I think things should be done and that's what's going to help me develop my own style I'm not against adding herbs and things to beer in fact I plan on using ginseng and other natural remedies for relaxation and stress relief, it's the people who don't even think about what they're putting in intelligently. I mean I work really hard on forming my recipes and I think every step of it out and I think just the fact that people have to ask if it's a good idea or what would happen shows that they didn't really put much thought into it.

Well, now we know everyone's been trolled.

Bout time to boot up the banhammer I would say, lol.

I keep getting a bandaid/diaper off-flavor when i try to ferment babies, do you think its a problem of temp control, or the type of yeast I'm using?

Sounds like a water issue. Are you throwing the baby in with the bathwater or without? You need to add campden tablets to get rid of the chloramines and baby poop.

Hmm so you are right and anyone who disagrees is drinking the coolaid huh? :smack:

I find it to be quite the opposite. Most of the ba forums are full of trolls, whale hunters and extreme snobbery, especially the trading section.The homebrew section is a lot more low key. I havent 'bought into' anything I enjoy both of these sites and its kind of disappointing to hear you be so narrow minded as you are someone whose posts I respect on this forum. Obviously HBT is going to be much more robust as this is an entire site dedicated to homebrewing as opposed to small sub-forum.

What? No...

I basically agree with what you are saying aside from those trolls and snobs NOT being in the homebrewing section at BA. They definitely are. That is like the hub for snooty asanine behavior over there. The other forums might be full of naive noobs, but at least they are not rude jerks. This was my main point.

And that make Number 4

The infamous quad post. At least the troll got all of us talking...

More importantly the popcorn discussion died off...

I'm in the kettle corn sucks camp. I've read 12 books on the subject so my opinion is a fact.

 

[Psylocide]

Kettle corn sucks. Popcorn was not meant to be sweet... don't even talk to me about those god-awful popcorn marshmallow ball things, gross.

Popcorn with a some cajun seasoning though, I can get down with that.

 

[SnakeRidge]

I stand by my opinion of kettle corn. Ain't no changin the weather, ain't no changin me.

 

[boganll]

you guys are going to scare this guy away in his time of need

Yeah, but have you read the quintessential "Corn: To Kettle?". Because if you haven't, your opinion on the topic is mute. The book is a deep analysis on the art of kettling the corn and contains the rules of the kernel.

I didn't really read past the OP, but I caught some snippets. What's the over/under on him getting banned here? I'll take May 15.

...I'll take today before 6pm

 

[GrogNerd]

I guess I'm a poofy little kettle corn fairy

because I don't ****ing love kettle corn, I love ****ing kettle corn

(marks the first time I've actually posted on HBT using the actual F bomb and not some derivative, just because the ** censoring works so much better for the tone I wish to convey)

Fortunately, it sounds like there's one less today than there was a few days ago.

I just had some sweet chipotle popcorn while reading all this. I really gotta get my tired butt up & get my grain bag clean again. And the grain bucket. Then get the other boy up & go get the other one to take'em to work, then get to work...

 

[Vamptrump]

You can't just say before a given time...if that's the case, then I claim anytime after 11:00 AM EST May 13th, 2015.

Aren't the typical rules - "Closest to the actual retail price/the time without going over."

 

[Psylocide]

Oh... and also, who would be caught dead making kettle corn?

Just a big old goofy pot and a huge stirring stick or something.

Stupid, looking. Never, ever.

 

[Hello]

@1977Brewer I'll take today at 4 pm EST.

The OP's posting of the same response 4 times and his behavior at BA clearly says to me that he has lost his **** and he's nuts.

 

[beernbourbon]

Now wait just a dang minit, mister, dem's fightin words! my momma made them for halloween every year (razor blades and needles for an added kick) and they were just.......
well, ok, just a damn sticky mess. They were good, but I fell in love with my hygienist that year I was at the dentist so often....was a good year, 1981 I think......................................oh sorry....Little Aldo Nova kicked up in my head
Anyway, yes, kettle corn sucks.
Traditional either over campfire, or in the pan on the stove with the bad kinda oil, lots of real butter, salt. :rockin: I can tolerate air popped, but extra butter at that point. Some microwave if I'm bein' lazy, but again.....extra melted butter... that oleo sh!t makes the kernels soggy....and so does no salt butter, or light butter. Wife tries to make stuff healthy, and does well, but this is one I won't compromise.

Not to mention his thread about sanitizing air for his Breaking Bad style lab and brew room.

Ya think?

 

[DNKDUKE]

Gotta admit, it has been kinda fun to watch this thread degrade into......

 

[jrgtr42]

Is that kettle corn made with GMO?
I would be interested in knowing if anyone has done a side-by-side and if there is a flavor difference, or if they suddenly develop mutant (or inhuman, to use the Agents of SHEILD term) powers after eating it.

I'm a member on BA as well as here, and yes, there can be some self-absorbed folks who think they know a lot more than they do, and theirs is the only way of doing things, (heck, some of my own posts can probably be looked at that way; if so, I apologize...) but there are a lot more people who have been brewing at home and professionally longer than a lot of other posters have been alive, who are happy to share their knowledge and opinions on what may or may not work in a brew, and diagnosing problems that have occurred.
No forum anywhere is perfect, nor are the people who post there, such is life on the internet: anyone who has heard about something is instantly an expert in that subject. It just comes down to spending time and getting to know the forum. Both here and BA, I know there are certain members whose posts I can pretty much ignore, and others who I want to read everything they write.

Coming soon (on another site): "How I got kicked from Homebrewtalk".

Did he actually get banned from BA or did he come over here just to start trouble, so he could go back over there and post about it all.

If he's on mobile, it's super easy to multi post if you don't just inore the occasional error message.

But other than that, dude's crazy.

 

[1977Brewer]

Way back in like 2001, I was very active on Bad Religion's Official forum. There was a massive flame war with some other band's forum....it started in a very similar fashion to this.

I didn't get involved in that one, and I sure won't get involved in this. Well, aside from sitting back and snickering at the obvious trolling and troll baiting.

I don't know the rules that well. I haven't read the book yet.

Degrade is an odd word for evolve into awesomeness.

I just wish Gary would have been around for "Home brewing needs a woman's touch". I bet he would have had some really deep insights...
