He was this know-it-all who got banned for being a jerk. Then he went on YouTube and posted these ridiculous videos about how to make a starter and all sorts of other crap. There's a long thread on it somewhere on HBT. It's under something like "yeast starter saga."
Cool, I'll go search. Thanks
Oh HELL NO! We are NOT going down THAT road!
Now back to the OP. I seriously doubt he's going to be back on the site. Not sure that's a bad thing, but unless he was honestly trying to insult and get banned, there had to be a misunderstanding.
So, OP, you did not list a kettle big enough for full boils, which you will need for doing AG (unless you do small batches, then a smaller kettle is fine) and you really should have a WORT chiller if you are doing full boils.
Plus, you are missing many, many items from your list that most people have. We can't read your mind. Just going by yo8ur question and your list, you got the same answer on the very next post that ANY one of us would have given, the obvious 2 items that nearly every AG brewer would use.
Unless a moderator banned you, I say come back and try again and all will be forgiven. There is a lot of great brewing information to be had here, and lots of other fun stuff if you are willing to be reasonable.

I hope this dude comes back. I'd love to see more of this guy. There just isn't enough trolling on this site to entertain us all!

That's why I read the video game forum over on Amazon. :cross:
I'm with you aerod1, i'm ashamed to live in the same state as the OP. Truly ashamed for his existence.
I wonder if this had anything to do with why he jumped down Jaybird's throat... seemed friendly enough there, but he was already verging on "Stop patronizing me, I am more awesomer than you!"
I think it's just a young kid who's a bit full of himself. Hell, I'm a bit full of myself too
so I guess I empathize. A little. The others are right, if he/she wants to come back, please do and we'll try not to pick on you for the little freakout this morning.

That is a very rude response to helpful advice. He stated that you need a large pot (8+gallons) and a wort chiller. Neither of which you mentioned having since you stated you had what came with basic kits. Also he pointed out that you should not move your beer to secondary so soon, because you suggested that after 3 days you were almost ready to move it.
That is freeking funny...Never even looked at the OP's name...Yeah he's probably like "OK dude get off my a$$"
I'm just a Troll trying to assist the noobs. Not a bad way to hang here on HBT.
I'll take it!

Why can't we all just get along. This is how wars get started.
Weird: OP and Jaybird had a pleasant exchange earlier.

Actually even there the OP wasn't open to any suggestions than what he had in his mind. He didn't appear to like that Jaybird DARED suggest he brew a couple kits before jumping in hard and fast or whatever he called it.

I used to moderate a forum, and we used to be able to see the IP address of the posters and match it with other usernames that have been posted under that same IP. Is this someone just messing with us, or is this kid for real?
Either way, I still enjoy a good public flogging every now and again.

I just reread this thread and I am still confused....
... where exactly did it go off the rails? What 25 year old college kid can't hold his stuff together on an online forum?
Yes, if you ask a question about a secondary, you will be told 9 times it is not necessary, but the 10th will be a valid answer. What internet forum is any different?

+1 on letting it go a bit longer before racking to secondary. It'll really give the yeast a chance to finish their job and meld everything together.
not sure about your brew kettle's size, but if you're going to do AG, then a kettle capable of doing full boils is a must.

Am I allowed to quote myself? cuz I probably shoulda read before posting advice.
Seriously dude, either you're a total punk @$$ or just trying to get a rise out of everyone here. Either way, nice work.

My hat goes off to Jay, what a decent professional response to the OP's initial
schizophrenic assault! In fact, most of the responses to this fiasco of a thread have been quite a testament to the great members who belong to this forum!
I am proud to belong to this site!
For the OP: WOW, well that is all I can say!

Hey, at least you realized you were being assholish and apologized for it.
Welcome to the forum! People may give your name a questioning look when they see you post for a short while after this fiasco, but these things clear up pretty quickly with a good attitude
Good luck with your brewing!

TR - lurking is good.
and - we're a good-natured bunch. If you kept being a ******, we'd keep after you - (of course) but at this point, we almost have to say thanks for the fun (at your expense)...
Welcome to HBT - that's how we roll. Lurk away, ask questions, thank those that give you good advice.
Recognize that wording is important because this is the internet, after all.

In all fairness.... sometimes doing it hard and fast IS doing it right.

C'mon Joe. The guy has apologised and we have had our fun. Let's move on?
