Which brew gods do you have to pay homage to for a smooth brew day???

[weirdboy]

And which one would that be????

Loki is the only god who gives a crap about brewing.

I am pretty sure Ninkasi might have something to say about that.

 

[Dougless]

As an atheist, I'm thankful for 25+ years of brewing experience. Nothing like reality to get you through a brew day. Those of you that want to worship an ephemeral talisman go right ahead. I'll fall back on my experience and education...

 

[Evan_L]

Loki, patron saint of my brewery...Loki Brau.

This thread is supposed to be funny, or an attempt at having a little fun.Dude, relax and don't take yourself so seriously....if your education and experience allows it of course.

 

[robertfraser]

I make sacrifices in the form of time and preparation to Murphy. For we all know his law!

After 46 years of life, I'm pretty sure that I have Murphy blood in me, DESPITE what my parents said.....

 

[zacster]

I pay homage to an old wise man, myself. I'm finding brew day to be totally uneventful after countless batches.

Um, DUDE.....he didn't start with the seriousness...

How about just a prayer to the real one? Works for me.

Nothing against this guy, but here is exactly where it went from fun to "here's what you ought to believe"

And what exactly about your post was fun?

With a response like this I think you may need a little more education.

 

[cheezydemon3]

What?????

Because he actually thinks for himself, he needs more education?

You are funny.

 

[PhelanKA7]

Damn. It has gotten all Internet up in this thread now.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Damn. It has gotten all Internet up in this thread now.

Sorry. I am not an athiest, but I will be damned if I will watch some doodybags pick on one.

No my response had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the poster responding to a humorous thread in a condescending way

 

[Nightshade]

Damn. It has gotten all Internet up in this thread now.

Its srs biznass ya knows

 

[lowtones84]

I think it was intended to be humorous. There were a couple of different posts which were probably a little bit too religious, which is a road we definitely shouldn't go down.

I'm still sticking with Odin! He gets mad if I don't drink while brewing, and also if I don't stir counterclockwise.

 

[woknblues]

Trolled.
Also, sage.

 

[Aaron1983]

Five Star Chemical company, home depot, and the nearest propane exhange. If all three of those are on my side (open/available). Then I cleanse the room of evil spirits with some sage blessed under a full moon, crack open a home brew, double-check my equipment and ingredients, and finally fire up my strike water.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I am pretty sure Ninkasi might have something to say about that.

Doh! And sumerian, so she is REAL!

I stand corrected.

 

[nachotime]

Too many pints only upsets the beer gods and your brew day will go horribly wrong.

isn't this the truth...

 

[wan2ride]

This is probably the source of my woes. Unfortunately, my occupation forbids any beard growth, and if I did grow one, it would be more like a Joe Dirt beard than anything... which might offend them more...

The brewgods shall make allowances for the beard of Joe Dirt; however, the blessing of a smooth brewday shall be bestowed only upon the creation of light American lagers.
Hear ye these words and despair.

 

[Mdsutton]

I only need to pay homage to SWMBO!!

 

[ctrlpabrewer]

I invariably find myself shaking my propane tank, and then saying a small prayer to any entity that will listen asking for enough propane to finish the boil.

However, as a rule, I try not to involve any additional spirits or deities. There are already too many Gnomes, Fairies, Bears, and other mischievous things attracted by the brewing habit - I don't need any more complication...

 

[latium]

Five full pages so far and nobody's mentioned Bacchus?

 

[cheezydemon3]

I just pray to Obi Wan Kenobi.

 

[mewithstewpid]

Hahaha. Mine demands a sacrifice before I can start brewing, a sacrifice of green.

 

[weirdboy]

Dionysus == Bacchus

Also I feel like they are more wine-oriented than beer-oriented.

That's why I mentioned Osiris. He pre-dated Bacchus/Dionysus, and if I remember correctly, was credited with teaching the Egyptians to brew beer.

 

[noblebrew]

It sounds like you have a Gnome problem. You must enlist the help of the faeries to save your beer. Let this thread be your guide.

I think this thread is the nexus of the universe, it is where all threads eventually lead...

After I read the title, I immediately thought: myself

I was having a sub-par brew day on Sunday until I realized I wasn't drinking any of my own homebrew. I opened some up and the rest was smooth

Quoted for truth. The only time I seem to goof on calculations is when I'm stone cold sober.

One of the best beers I've ever brewed (a "traditional" porter that's to die for) went from midboil to chill to fermenter and pitch with me so gone on homebrew I didn't (and still don't) remember the process.
