And, without fanfare…
LODO!!!Late in the evening, after bubble counting has ended, if one quietly listens to the yeast in the fermentation vessel, there are stories being told of a "next level" to homebrewing, beyond all-grain, where there are no levels, just ingredients.
The only constant in language is change.
There are linguistic hills I'm willing to die on ("irregardless" and the cot/caught merger are two of them*), but I don't expect to win.
Maintaining a narrow definition of "brew" isn't one of them.
=============
* Also, which and witch are not homophones. Neither are are and our. I'll die fighting those too, but (again) I don't expect to win.
Same as reheating frozen food is not cooking.honestly i've never really considered extract brewing to be "brewing"
I can't continue to read or listen to someone who says "That being said".I can't stand the use of 'irregardless'.
The 1990s called. They want that rant about certain brewing ingredients back.Brewing beer is an art and a craft. I'm not a great artist, but at least you won't find me sitting on the floor with crayons half chewed up.

A lot of times, I don't even "make" cider. I just leave some fresh unpasteurized orchard juice sitting in the back of the refrigerator for a month or two. Ta-da.
There ain't nothing easier on the planet to "brew", "make", or "oops" than cider. Well... at least, if you don't press your own apples I mean. I'll let somebody else do all that dirty work. I've done it a few times and... yeah I don't think I'll bother anymore. But it's fun though.
I ain't much of a fighter Yoop, but I'll wrassle ya, if it's OK with the Mr....
What’s wrong with this picture?

So in theory if there is boiling and stepping, it could be brewing?Fight me.
I don’t know when it happened exactly, but with the explosion in homebrewing and mead making (and wine and cider too of course), I get so many messages here and on another forum that people start with “Brewing mead tomorrow!”.
I guess we’re using “homebrewing” as a catch all now for fermentation so I suppose you brew sauerkraut, wine, and cider too?
Weird to me. I brew coffee. I brew beer. To me, “brewing” denotes a hot (brewing) process. I don’t brew wine. Or sauerkraut or pickles.
Whew. I feel better now!
So following that analogy, you’re not baking unless you mill your own flour? You’re not making wine unless you stomp the grapes?Oh, we are doing it now? Ok.
Same as reheating frozen food is not cooking.
You sound to me a bit like Dafydd.If you don't grow all your veggies/grain/potatoes etc and hunt/raise all the meat yourself, you are not a real hobby chef .
And also in that case you're probably a closet communist, fat and can go F yourself, you poser.
