I reckon there must be MANY answers.

How Many Homebrewers Does it Take to Screw in a Lightbulb?

Help Support Homebrew Talk:
One to screw it in and all the rest to claim they did it first?
I think two but they would have to be tiny.

None. They prefer the dark for fear of skunking their beers.
7. 2 to debate what material light bulb and how different brands of "light bulbs" will effect the room, the next 2 to gather the equipment for measuring lumens, the next to decide if the light bulb really even needs to be changed, the next to go get the flashlight, ladder, and light bulb, and the last one to figure out the switch was just off.

One, but he'd need to install something industrious, not a light bulb, a lighting system.
One, but now he wishes he used a stainless steel fixture.

All of them. They each get electrocuted trying to sanitize the bulb first.

It depends on how many can actually fit in a light bulb.
Boom!
None, they all stopped at the homebrew store and spent all of their money on the way to buy a light bulb.
My first homebrewed light bulb, can some check my (stolen) recipe:
Element: Tungsten
Project: Making a lightbulb
Time: 30 minutes
Cost: Roughly $50
Tungsten 74
Melting point: 6,170°F
Boiling point: 10,220°F
50 amps at 30 volts, giving me a 1,500-watt bulb
helium because it's easily available and lighter than air, allowing me to fill my bulb, an upside-down glass ice bucket

One can do it just fine, but if two or more brewers are around then they'll get to drinking and everybody will get easily distracted and screw the whole operation up.
Lets see...
One will never get around to it. Too busy DIY'ing a temperature control for the element...
Another two who never get around to it because they keep arguing about how all the lightbulbs in the store are "crafty" and not "craft" and whether or not they should buy the damned things...
Another who keeps breaking the bulbs by trying to shove lavender inside...
Another couple who are waiting for John Palmer to tell em how to do it...
Another who keeps searching for that bigger and bigger bulb...
Another who keeps trying to just set hops on fire instead...
Ok, now I'm bored. What were we talking about?

Only one, but she would really have to want to change.
3. 1 to actually change out the bulb. Second- to then check the kegs and make sure nothing happened to them in the darkness. Third- to show up late and explain, "he would have been on time except for the emergency, his gravity had finally dropped and he had to dry hop on schedule.
Lesee.
1 to ask if they ruined their bulb
3-4 to say to relax, don't worry, it will still be a bulb.
1 to say that extract bulbs are for wusses and they need to get into All-bubling
1 to bring up Bulb-in-a-bag as a cheaper option.
so... at least 7

How many will it take to compare it to Pliny the Elder or Heady Topper?

One to hold the light bulb, another one to operate the gigantic stir plate?
One to screw it in & at least 6 to stand around watching & drinking beer.

This topic has been covered before. You should learn to use google or HBT wiki.

I clicked on your link to "Let Me Google that For You", which I suppose is intentionally a bit condescending. I notice that this topic does not show on the HBT form on at least the first three pages of results.
I noticed that as well. I went back maybe 6 pages, and still nope. Nothing from HBT
I think someone just got up on the wrong side of the bed today, and needs to eat a big plate of their words for breakfast...
(Although an identical thread does show up in the related threads below in all fairness, but still, it's not like this is a topic that pops up 15 times a day in new posts like others do. So either play along or STFU and GTFO)

I didn't intend to be harsh, and I agree with you re: in fairness he's right about there being another similar thread. To celebrate the other thread here are two funny but slightly ironic answers I found there:
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
Nah, I think the harshness is deserved. And I meant the other poster woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and so forth.
When there's a big beer story (say, the release of the White House recipes) and there are 25 threads popping up about the same thing within 3 days, I can see getting annoyed. But that's not the case here.

I did google it and there was nothing - at least not on the first couple of pages.
Who made you the Homebrewtalk police anyway? Even if there has been a post somewhere in the past about this topic so floccing what? Are you going to bitch about today's posts on infections, fermentation temps, krausen not falling, lack of airlock activity etc etc because they've been covered before in the past?
You should learn to google "homebrew+forum+exclusively+for+angry+rude+people+that+only+accepts+topics+never+covered+before" and be the first to join it.
can I be 2nd?
