The most ingonrant thing you have EVER heard about Hombrewing or hombrewing technique

[mmurray]

The most ignorant thing I have ever been asked...

#1. Can you make any beer as good as Bud Light?

I thought to myself... Kill me now! and then replied... Better! They were astounded by my response and replied "well I can't wait to try that... What about Heineken?" <shakes head and walks away>

One of my aunts asked me if I could make a batch of michelobe ultra... I told my aunt that I loved her and said no.

I work with a guy that use to "brew" but later got back into church so he quit. (dont want to talk about the church stuff) anyways he is always giving me "tips" I usally just shake my head smile and walk off. The one that made me stop listening to him was his "house special" as he called it. He did extract with grain. So he would boil the grain for 30 mins then let it steep for another 3 hours remove the grain. Then add the dme or lme and a bag of sugar to the wort boil for 20 mins then cool and top up to 5 gals let ferment for 2 weeks and bottle. He swore it was good.

He wasnt a Canadian named Craig was he?

 

[JoeyChopps]

Nope his name is Rich funny that others have similar stories

I sent my mom a bottle of my mead for Christmas and she called to ask me if i had tried it and if it was "safe to drink"

Mine is I work at a brewery serving only our beers we brew and we have a beer selection written on a canoe and people still come in and ask for coors light or bud light. Then they taste our light beer that's even more watery than coors light and ask for something lighter or not as strong.

Dude do you work at Blue Canoe?

I thought Oktoberfest was a holiday.

It's not? It should be.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

That you should urinate on your equipment to sanitize it.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

That you aren't saving money by brewing...

I wish I saved money by brewing. Maybe if I count just ingredients I'm saving money, but I think all the new equipment that I think I "need" puts me over what it would cost to make the beer.

I call this hobby the most expensive way to get cheap beer...

 

[Scottkb]

What difference does the steeping duration - any duration - make, when he's already denatured all the enzymes by boiling the grain? It's not like there's enzymes in extract...

U don't need enzymes with an extract brew, specialty grains contain almost no fermentable sugars, which is what enzymatic activity is for, converting raw starches into fermentable sugars, ie Maltose. By adding extract during a boil, even 20 minutes this beer will work, even with an overnight soak. Hop utilization would be piss poor with a 20 minute boil and tannins/astringency would also be sky high, but could still make an ok beer in two weeks.

"Homebrew? I hope yours turns out better than mine did." - This coming from someone who paid no attention to sanitation whatsoever.

i heard if you put a lincoln head penny in the tread of your tires, and if the tread just touches lincoln's head, that homebrewing gives you aids.

While not homebrew related, a guy I work with swears up and down that Coors uses some chemical process for brewing that requires zero heat, at any point. And that's how they have the "coldest tasting beer in the world" and that's why its is so "smooth". When I tried to explain to him briefly how brewing works and how that is impossible, he said something to the effect of "Oh, no, man... my cousin lives in Colorado and knows the brewmaster"

Oh. Ok. *******...

Just yesterday I was told by a buddy, "I wouldn't want to drink homebrew, there is too much of a risk of Botulism."

This one might be the winner. You had me at Coors drinker.

Coors invites this kind of misunderstanding through marketing.

I used to live in Golden, a few blocks north of Coors. The mashing and boiling steam would make the whole area smell like cooking polenta.

I offered my neighbour a sampling of a honey red ale, after an afternoon of enjoying a, few pints he staggered home and the next morning he asked if it rained last night, his wife then informed him no you idiot you showered with your clothes on. I guess it did the trick.

 

[lschiavo]

I've had several people ask if I make whiskey when showing them my brewery (still in their eyes).

 

[madcow_number_6]

"what kind of alcohol do you put in it? PGA? Vodka?"

no, no, the yeasts make all the alcohol i don't put any in

"No, 'fermenteration' just makes the bubbles. You're using moonshine and don't want to tell me aren'tcha? Man, I want to try some of that!"

Ingonrant co-worker

 

[tcsteeler1993]

Good, as usual. Why, did you spit in it?

 

[tcsteeler1993]

Nope haha just wondering. I like hearing how things are because it makes everyone in the kitchen feel good. We had a bavarian dinner yesterday with 5 different courses as well as a different beer going along with each one
