How I Got Kicked From Beer Advocate (& HBT)

In the defense of ketchup beer, I once had a sour that had a STRONG ketchup/worcestershire sauce flavor.

People say it's good.

I say it's infected.
 
so before i got this app on my phone i used another brewing forum called beer advocate

-i'm a newer brewer

-i've read 4 books about it

-i thought that by joining a forum i could learn from other people's mistakes

-all i got with beer advocate was a bunch of people with virtually no experience whatsoever asking about how to add all kinds of weird **** to their beer.

-i actually had to explain what star-san was

-whenever i made a comment somebody would try to nullify my point with "faulty" logic.

I was away for a whole 90 min and had to read through 4 pages of posts.

Cracker Jack is not popcorn but Jiffy Pop on the other hand is as much fun to make as is to eat :)

just saying

Excuse me... The bag of Cracker Jack clearly states that it is popcorn!
 
wow, this thread filled up in a hurry.

A little advice to the OP, just stay away from any threads where people ask about adjuncts that aren't unmalted barley, wheat, oats, or rye.

Remember taste is subjective. Don't try to take away my pumpkin peach ale.

Fix whatever is making you quadruple post. You look like a spambot doing that.
 
I was posting on BA and the moderator deleted my thread because he didn't think my question was worthy of discussion...despite it gaining 4 pages in a few hours. My question wasn't troublesome or combative.
I simply asked how best to support a bar that served a product I liked but couldn't regularly afford...should I buy the cheaper stuff, save up and buy the good stuff...

Moderator deletes my thread with the statement "Buy if you want, Don't if you don't".

I've left BA because of the bad taste this transaction left. HBT is more fun anyway.
 
WORK

I recognize the letters from the English alphabet, but the order in which they are arranged make no sense to me
 
Speaking of popcorn...anyone use the Whirlypop? I love mine!

I do! I love mine. In fact, I should go downstairs and make some popcorn.

I think it's safe to say this kid isn't coming back to this thread. If he does, he'll repost the same post he's already posted 4 times over. The same one that lacks all aspects of punctuation, grammar, and sanity. I'm not an English major, but I can see school-kid meltdown when it happens.

its sad they cant even enjoy the fun that they started too bad they ended up getting a ban hammer but at least a donkey was won

(I posted as such in their honor...it hurt a lot to do so.)

Since its been a few pages...

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.
 
I've brewed beers with:

chocolate
pine needles
honeysuckle
wild grapes
dewberries
sassafras
cranberries
cinnamon
coriander
oranges
apples
jalapenos

or a combination of these things, and I've blended batches.

I love alternative ingredients and when I was still a fairly new brewer I liked using fruit because I could freeze it and add it to the cooling wort at 180*F and it would speed up the cooling process substantially while simultaneously pasteurizing my fruit.

Don't knock it till you try it man.

I didn't read your whole post, but I do want to ask how your pine needle beer came out. I like pine.

How do you know they were banned from HBT?

Ahhh, the 3 most eloquent sentences ever written by human hands...

Figured it out:
He was dictating on his phone. Obviously, while a bit excited. So, between the phone dictation, emotions, and flowing conscience thought; it added up to one hilarious two sentence paragraph!
