Most hotly debated techniques?

Homebrewtalk VS homebrewsearch

 

[Revvy]

You still come off as a d-bag to them when answering a post by mocking them.
<-- that's my way of saying "no disrespect, just keeping it real"

I don't mock people....Though it seems to me lately some of YOUR comments have been mocking to people (wasn't one of them actually in THIS thread, and someone called YOU to task for it, so maybe it's the pot calling the kettle black.) Usually I just take an answer from one place and move it to another. Since it's the same question, then I may tailor it a bit. Sometimes I may call someone, not usually the OP, on some idiotic piece of advice they give, but it's usually NOT the poster of the question. Or if the OP's coming off like, what did you call me, a DB, then I may take them to task...But I don't mock someone for asking a question, even if I've answered the question over and over, in the same day.....I may try to diffuse someone's stress with some wry humor, but I've never mocked someone for asking a question, or said something like, "Hey A$$hat, use the search."(In fact I'm usually the one doing the searching for them) Though I MAY ask if they happened to have seen the 5 threads with the same question in the title that are in the same section of the forum they just posted their question in, and usually THAT is for trying to get some understanding of how folks are reading the forum, to see if we are doing something wrong.

Like I said, I wouldn't STILL be answering folk questions for the umpteenth billionth time, if I didn't care.....

Don't worry Revvy, funkswing is prone to snap judgements and spouting off at the mouth (like me) which is evidently a good way to get labelled a FOOL. Or so he explained to me in another thread.

Yeah I've seen some of his comments...that's why I wondered if it was the pot calling the kettle sort of thing.....

Thanks Buddy!

I can see where there may be some thought that Revvys posts come across as ******-bagish, but the content is solid and informative, when I started brewing I found Revvy to be quite a help, those same replys are being used to help others, maybe it is the cut and paste that strikes you as DB, because we have all seen it over and over again, but to the new guy who is reading it for the first time, it may be a great help. I havent really looked, but I am not aware of an OP who got Revvied, who then posted up a comment regarding Revvys handling of his question was done in a rude or offish manner,

as for hotly debated techniques,
How about the "can a beer be ready in a few weeks?" this one gets the age it forever guys bumping heads with those who feel that proper methods make quicker beer.

 

[mikeysab]

Wow, the guy posts dozens of pages of information DAILY to help peple brew better beer and he gets a great big "you're right, he is a ****** bag" of a thanks for it. Maybe people calling him a d bag is the pot calling the kettle black. All of you mother effers could just

 

[cheezydemon3]

Oh hell AZSCOOB!!, lol.

I am a "sure you can drink it in a week, but have something in your pipeline so you don't have to" kind of guy.

Dope! Not trying to de-rail this.

(cheezy KEEPIN IT REAL)

I love using that eat me gif

Oh, you are getting back to the actual post? I was hoping we could re-title the post 'D-Bag: Revvy or Funkswing?'

In the age vs get out as fast as possible question...which one is the traditional method? Just to let it sit for awhile? I would imagine that even traditional methods for making hefeweizen cranked it out pretty quickly.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Winner. Wait, wasn't this supposed to be about brewing?

On THIS site???? lol.

But seriously, MOST HOTLY DEBATED TOPICS was bound to re-ruffle some feathers.

 

[WortMonger]

How about pressurized fermentation? I love it, but admit it is a very odd thing compared to the "standard" glass 5 gallon carboy. I also like the topic of natural vs. forced carbonation. Lots to compare and contrast in brewing! I love this hobby.

 

[Hermit]

Well its all highly modified unless it says it isn't. Go ahead and debate it...........its not 1989 anymore."

Again, if you aren't buying a full sack then of course it doesn't say ANYTHING now does it? I've read that "continental" malt is NOT fully modified (nor even preferred for taste reasons by some brewers) and it is specified in several recipes that I have seen. My local home brew shop sells "Belgian Pilsner". Would you care to enlighten me on the degree of modification? Please provide documentation. Please tell me how you KNOW your malt is "fully modified" if you aren't buy full sacks with an analysis printed on the bag. I read a posting where someone said he had trouble with head retention until he added a protein rest. Were they mistaken?

I may be off, but I think the OP wanted ideas OF hotly debated topics.. not examples of the arguments themselves.

how about kegging vs. bottling?
or.. dme vs. corn sugar for priming sugar?

effing with your water minerals vs. tap vs. RO

 

[logan3825]

I for one would rather be a pirate, though I think they would lose in a fight with a ninja. All the ninja has to do is hold some wenches or booze hostage and the pirates will give them anything. Dirty ninjas.....

That would never work. There are always more wenches and booze to be found.

 

[azscoob]

There are always more wenches and booze to be found.

Amen to that brother!

"Wench, get me another homebrew!!!"

 

[Hermit]

I may be off, but I think the OP wanted ideas OF hotly debated topics.. not examples of the arguments themselves.

Well, my original point is that this is something that 'should be debated'. There is this blind obedient assumption that ALL modern malts are well modified. I was 'attacked' for pointing out this is not the case and should be looked at. So, now we have the debate.

 

[mikeysab]

I LOVE mass debating.

 

[iparks81]

Wow...the whole thread...Wow...drinkin a beer or 7 while reading...WOW is my contribution...or maybe, what about the debate on thermometers...theres so many diff types ...what makes you sure your temp is correct...+Revvy is king, I value his word above others. (As far as brewing technique are concerned.)

 

[cheezydemon3]

EVERYONE is WRONG.

 

[olllllo]

Ban or not to ban

 

[Dynachrome]

Pumpkin, Does it contain fermentables worth talking about?

There are a ton of them (many tons) ready for mashing out there right now!

 

[Dynachrome]

EVERYONE is WRONG.

Logical fallacy. Take that!

I do appreciate all the input and spirited debate but you would be correct..

[funkswing]

Seriously, pressurized-fermentation v classical fermentation.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Seriously Funkswing vs Revvy.

 

[Revvy]

Seriously Funkswing vs Revvy.

Seriously, it's me for the win!!!!

Google Fight, Revvy -vs- Funkswing.

 

[passedpawn]

Seriously, it's me for the win!!!!

Google Fight, Revvy -vs- Funkswing.

both = lose in this one.

But back on topic, the OP was looking for the MOST debated topic. I'd have to say that Extract vs. AG brings out some serious emotions every time. I don't know why, one is clearly superior to the other

 

[dfc]

Apparently "Does Revvy come off as a *********?" is a hotly debated topic.

 

[ScubaSteve]

Using HD elements because they're smaller and cheaper vs larger and more expensive LD/ULD elements! YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!.......while you guys were bickering I got one of the last ones! FWIW, I think we've covered them all.

Oh yeah, what about breaking both legs of the element vs. just one?
