WTF Did I Make?!

[Orfy]

BIN THE BREW.

It's not beer and it'll taste crap.

Start again and do it properly. The only way to save money is to go All grain.

I'm surprised that so few people have brought up that this kid is 20...

not that I really care, just surprised...

 

[olllllo]

He'll be 21 by the time he can make a proper brew.

 

[Yooper]

That was my point- I'm usually a very nice person and love newbies. But I don't give how to brew advice to underage people who ask about their hooch.

There are plenty of places on the internet for hooch making. This is not one of them. Anyone can read this board and find information. I've even posted my Welch's grape juice recipe, which is as simple as it gets and actually tastes good! But I'm not going to encourage posting hooch questions from underage people.

Banned for a year. No underage kids here, not unless they can convince me that they live somewhere where drinking under 21 is legal. This kid is lives in the U.S.

 

[Yooper]

Ok- I wasn't sure where he lived. Thanks, bird!

 

[Thalon]

I didn't realize he was underage. Now I look like a fool for helping him. So in the experience of all you forum old-timers, the only people asking questions about hooch are underage, because if you're old enough to drink then in all likelihood you'll want to brew it correctly? Anyone can lie on their public profile age field, this guy just chose not to.

 

[Yooper]

Well, it has been my experience that it's the young ones who are trying to make "free" booze because they can't buy it. I've actually had a 16 year old PM me his cell phone number because he wasn't allowed to post! (He must have signed up with a different ID and sent me the PM).

I knew he was 20, but assumed he was in Canada or somewhere where he would be legal.

If someone's stupid enough to not lie, I don't have a lot of sympathy for them. But honestly, 99.9% of all "hooch" posts are by people that have been identified as underage. It doesn't take a mad genius to figure out why....

 

[the_Roqk]

Well, I saw his profile and the only advice that I gave him was that if he wanted to learn the art and hobby was to read, read, read, read. I knew all along that he was making "hooch". But to try and properly educate the lad he needs to hit the books. I'm sure there are peoples here that started out at an early age before they turned 21, and read up on the theory and practice of making beer. If he was enthusiastic about this then he needs to take advice and "read".

Just my $.02 worth for now.

You're supposed to wait for the exotic string of incongruous cuss words.

There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom!

I was hoping for another acronym to come out of this thread

You made pewp, dewd.

Now THAT is funny. A little late, but funny nonetheless.

Hey guys,
Just got back from my banning. Luckily I could still read the forums. I've learned alot since my early postings and have been brewing alot. I right now have a cherry stout in the primary, and plan on finishing the kegarator soon. Before to long I plan on going to Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago for their brewing courses.

PS. This stuff tasted like vinegar, great on salads

 

[Funkenjaeger]

The funniest part of this whole thing is that on seeing this thread come back up, and reading through it again, I couldn't help but wonder whether any of the underage kids who get banned ever actually come back when they're 21 rather than just being too pissed about the banning to do so - and then I saw that it was YOU, the OP that resurrected it.

Good to see that you've come back as a reformed, legal homebrewer making real beer

The banning didn't make me made just kinda made me disappointed about the stuff I would miss. Reformed and legal and even rocking all grain, where theres a will theres a way

 

[Nurmey]

Welcome back! This was fun to read back through and I have to give you props for bringing it back up. You realize that you've given us ammunition to give you crap for a while don't you?
Glad to hear you've moved up from making hooch to making beer.

 

[Yooper]

Welcome back! Glad to hear you're making beer and interested in brewing. I'm also glad you can take a good natured ribbing- you'll make a good brewer!

 

[HIM_Tattoos]

I made some dumb mistakes but learned from all of them. Once I learned the entire process I found how way off I really was and decide to take time to read up rather than dive in head first without a life vest

 

[alex_wilkosz]

cool. you seem to probably have more knowledge than a lot of people on here anyway...including me

 

[toddrod]

Add some Strawberry flavoring and you probably have a really cheap Boones Farm

 

[VatorMan]

Congrats on making it. I wish I had learned how to be a brewmeister at an early age.

Yeah, no kidding! I was like 40 before I realized that you could make alcohol at home. Talk about a late bloomer!

Don't waste the flavoring. I made that same crap when I was a kid and it was utterly undrinkable. Tasted like water, 3-5% alcohol, and a healthy scoop of yeast.

Welcome back HIM. You'll find this forum a wealth of information on making great beer. I just finished kegging BCB Haus Ale and I'm sipping on a very nice Irish Dry Stout.
