I was inspired by wsmith1625 's thread; Share a tip and wanted to type quite a few things there as it seemed a great place for new users and old pros alike. Thinking about it though, I didn't want to pollute such a useful thread with some things I'd really like to say on here, so I decided to try something related where we can post the less polite but probably still useful advice.
I'll start:
New community members welcome! If someone bought you a Coopers or Mr Beer kit for your 17th birthday and you made it without cocking it up and have found your way here to learn how to increase your skills and knowledge, definitely register as a user but please DO NOT chose a username such as "UberBeerMeister-God of All Things Beer" and then ask things like "Is secondary fermentation a good idea?" or "I pee'd in my beer..is it still good?" without first searching the 1000 times it has been asked and answered already. Also; Do not tell us that after one beer kit, you need business advice cause you're gonna scale up and open your own brewery that'll be the bestest and most successful ever. If you have more money than brains and buy $50K worth of boutique brewing equipment, do not post a ton of HD pics of all of it (Except for the fittings that connect it together that you didn't know it needed) and then ask for recommendations on a good "How to Brew" book.
Just sayin.
