This is the internet, ANYTHING becomes a topic for debate.

No it doesn't.

 

[wildwest450]

Everyone,
I’m working on a paper and want to know what everyone thinks are some of the most hotly debated brewing techniques?


Two that immediately come to mind are:
Secondary Fermentation
Decoction mashing

What's hotly debated about decoctions?

 

[passedpawn]

No it doesn't.

Yes it does.

 

[funkswing]

What's hotly debated about decoctions?

Doing a decoction mash or simply just using a proportion Munich malt in an infusion mash to get the same affect.

 

[Revvy]

No it doesn't.

Yes it does.

Yes it does.

No it doesn't.









I think.

 

[Homercidal]

Weird.

I came here expecting a consensus on what was the most hotly debated Homebrewing discussion.

Who'd a thunk?

 

[Revvy]

I think we covered all of them...

Oh wait, Pee vs Starsan

Simcoe vs Grapefruit

 

[bob1852]

no it's not

 

[JonK331]

How about whether its a good idea or not to ask for help on a paper you are writing on an internet forum?

Really, what are you writing this paper for? Or do you have too much free time?

Real nice as usual.

I'm betting it's a basic English Comp or Debate type class and he has to present an argument and he's deciding to do it based on his hobby. Pretty cool actually.

'Secondary' fermentation.

can't believe this one made it to the 4th page

 

[ScottD13]

Thanks everyone.

 

[Revvy]

Thanks everyone.

You going to tell us what this is for? I think we've made it obvious we're interested to know what this is for.

Actually I already have my Masters. I should have been more clear I'm beginning to formulate an article debating tradition vs innovation in homebrewing...not so much which is better but more the why and the history.

Hadn't expected so many responses so fast and it has been a busy day at work.

I guess you can say too much free time

 

[goodgodilovebeer]

+1 for Starsan vs. Iodophor

 

[funkswing]

Too much free time is the better answer, I think.

Tastes Great vs. Less Filling

 

[ghack]

GoldMiner, I was waiting for that one...I still don't know why they asked me to do this commercial

 

[ScottD13]

Let's try to keep it on track, ok?

I agree. Either stay on topic (we're in the BEER forum) or go into the chit-chat forum. Thanks!

 

[ronjer]

Just one beer, or have another.
My sig tells it all....

Sorry.
