When am I no longer a Beginner or Newbie?

[brewagentjay]

Brewed my second batch on sunday "Sweetwater 420 Clone".

Things went well enough. I even modified the instructions a bit, I hope I wasn't over confident. I just didn't like them as well as my first kit instructions.

So I'm planning my third batch of beer a custom brew but still staying extract for now.

So I have 2 beer batches and one cider under my belt. So can I still post here in the newbie section or ?

I use this forum when I have any basic question or concern about my techniques/ingredients/product.

You are no longer a noob when you have gotten past the "jitters" and also realize that kit instructions usually are usually bad.
Generally, all noobs are concerned about everything. The second they deviate from a recipe, they think their beer will be ruined.

Your no longer a noob when u don't ask have to ask if your a noob. IMO

Good call. I guess I'm going to be a newbie for a while.

NEVER claim you are not a newbie! As soon as you claim to be competent, you do something stupid.

Yeah! Everytime I think, "Oh, I understand this now!" something comes along and bursts my little bubble.

The great thing is that I'm always a beginner in one way or another. First, in partial mash brewing, then all-grain brewing. Next came recipe creation, yeast culturing, new equipment, followed by water chemistry, and hops growing. Not to mention kegging, oaking, and so on.

Now I'm learning more about my HERMS rig, and electricity. I'm always a beginner in some way, as I learn more about brewing.

I don't know if I would ever feel confident in a category called "advanced brewing".
