VIsited my lhbs recently. 2 dudes run the place, great guys very knowledgeable about homebrew n all that. One of them made the comment well I guess we can't cant call him a brew monkey. When I asked them what is that the only reply was a grin. Will someone tell me what is a brew monkey.

When I was teaching a friend to brew I made him do ALL the work from milling the grain to cleaning up. I called him my little brew monkey.

So brew monkey refers to inexperience. Ok makes sense.

I was going to suggest a brew monkey might be the person who does all the work while the brewmaster gives the commands. Kind of a Frankenstein/Igor relationship...
