Wait, how much hops do I add to this?
Call it "Clawfoot Ale"

I show people I know pictures of what I do and ...
After making a temp controlled fridge and really watching my pitching rate, my friends say "your beer is actually good now". Its kind of like telling someone, "hey your not fat anymore" sad part is, both statements are correct....
loftybrewer said:"Wait, you can do that?"
My response, in retrospect: "Yes, and you can also make your own spaghetti sauce if you want to. I make yoghurt, does that freak you out?"
well, you know. When people express interest they are only being polite. If you don't want to see photos of their kids (and, admit it, you don't) then they *really* don't want to see photos of your beer.
people at work always tell me "figures... i mean, you make your own beer, you grow your own food, you build your own furniture. do you ever do anything fun?" it's always kinda funny to me because all those thing are exactly the things i think are fun. people make home brewing out to be a chore.

:smack:
This reminds me of a recent one I got: "I know dark beers are fermented different than light ones, what's the diference?":smack:
I want to see photos of your beer...
I have a packet of Safale 05, it's marked 11/2013, what's the expiration date?

Though the best response I got was from an AC repair man when I told him I made my own beer and he was like wow that's awesome! I'm not worthy (speak in Garth/Wayne voice).
people always ask me the same thing. and I get a lot of 'shine comments & "don't get caught!" kind of nonsense.I would have to say the most annoying response I've gotten has been, "So after you boil it's ready?"...no.
I have done the same thing many times! nothing like the surprise when they taste the finished product though!When my friends ask me this I tell them here have a sip off the test jar. They go and take a giant swig of it and usually spit it out... Lol
I don't think I've ever gotten a response any more annoying than a request for a batch that tastes like Miller or Coors lite. Most people are generally interested in the how and why of homebrewing.

I told a friend by email how much I was enjoying my Citra pale ale.
He responded, "Isn't that against a man law to put fruit in your beer?"
"Homebrew is like fart. Only the person who made it likes it."
I guess a lot of friends like my farts then too...

People who try my beer seem to like it more than i do. My farts must be popular
Billy-Klubb said:think about how the pros must feel!:rockin:
If this means that if your farts don't stink then your beer doesn't stink than mine must be swill
Billy-Klubb said:hey, if you like your own brand, then what's the difference?
there's some facts from the good Dr.!Oooh man..I love that! hahahahehehoho...to the brewery! where life is beautiful all the time...& I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their tall green boots,& they're coming to take me away HAHAAAA!!!
^^
Did you tell him that he was trying one of yours?
Friend wanted to try my chocolate stout. I advised that it was terrible. It did not turn out good whatsoever. He said he didn't care. Reluctantly, I popped a top and poured him one. He said." This tastes like a plant. " I laughed and told him to dump it. He then said" that was ****ty. Let's never do that one again. " see, he helped to brew the chocolate stout. This friend is very honest.
Of course. But as you can suspect, denial set in rather quickly. I guess some people really are conditioned to like nothing but crap. How marketing ruins the world.
Honest friends rock!
