Your favorite type of post-er on HBT:

[m00ps]

Posters that use plural pronouns.

When we brew stouts...
Our mash tun holds...

Do they sit next to each other at the computer and alternate key strokes?

Im assuming these guys brew in club meetings but it still gets me.

These guys tend to be the ones that already have a "house yeast" and a "house pale ale?" and a name/logo for their brewing "company" Really? You're less than 20 gallons into this thing....

First batch! Help me design my logo and labels.

 

[MaxStout]

The posters who fail to understand this:

anecdote /= data​

It usually goes like "You can't do A, B and C. You have to do X, Y and Z. That always works for me"

 

[DromJohn]

I hate all you who post in the giveaway threads...those gifts are for ME... Y'all keep making me miss out!

Get over yourself. Your luck will even out. We post in the giveaway threads to keep Creamy Goodness from winning.

 

[b-boy]

I really hate the posters who post pictures of $50k bar in their basements - complete with English beer engines and personalized mirrors behind the bar. Most of their bars are bigger than my basement.

Oh Wait...that's just envy. I get those emotions mixed up a lot.

Never mind.

 

[Cyclman]

I'm that guy.

My least favorite poster is the arrogant one who states with absolute authority that if I don't follow his way I can't possibly be brewing good beer.

We all know:

My least favorite poster is the arrogant one who states with absolute authority that if I don't follow his way I can't possibly be brewing good beer. Second to that is the Junior Chemist/Biologist.

In 1633 Galileo was found guilty of heresy for defying the "conventional wisdom" and pointing out that regardless of what the authority said, his observations showed that the earth revolved around the sun.

"It's absolutely impossible to brew good beer without strict temperature control"

Yeah? Who am I supposed to believe, you, or my lying taste buds?

I brew for fun, and for tasty beer. That's why I consider this a hobby.

IDK. I definitely agree that it's hard to mess up beers in most way -- but I've tasted enough of other peoples' ****ty bubblegum beer for a few lifetimes. If you're fermenting without temperature control then I want no part of it. Probably the one area of brewing that's a requirement in my opinion.

Note that temperature control doesn't have to be a full-blown fridge STC unit. You can get by with sonofachambers, ice/water baths, cold basements etc. But people fermenting at roomtemp? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiit

... I can ferment very clean beers at room temp. The key is that I only brew what will fit the current ambient in my basement. If it is summer, then I make a saison. Winter, I can not quite lager, but ferment an ale very cool. Room temp is a relative term.

fact. our basement room temp is quite cooler than our main floor which is slightly cooler than our upstairs. and the room where I keep my wine and bottled beers is cooler than the rest of the basement.

Not 74, but this should help prove your point.

Besides Gary Oak, what is your favorite type of person posting on HBT?

Unfunny derailers

 

[CGVT]

The keg police that come out in droves when someone talks about making a keggle

 

[joshesmusica]

Unfunny derailers

I was gonna say, "I derailed your mom last night," but I think I'm too old for that now. I think I'm supposed to say, "I derailed your wife last night," at this point. Unless you're a woman. In which case, you win.

 

[day_trippr]

Cheers! (Awesome movie, btw...)

 

[joshesmusica]

I keep seeing this one pop up a lot lately:

"What was your grain build?"

 

[flars]

Someone who can meaningfully post the word, "prolly".

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Cheers! (Awesome movie, btw...)

I may make that a t-shirt. edit: maybe change to "No corn. No rice."

 

[erick0619]

The poster that asks for advice and never replies or provides feedback after saying something along the lines of "OK i'm going to try this when I get home tonight, thanks!"

Im so guilty of this....

 

[MaxStout]

The ones who ask for advice, but have already made up their minds about it. They come looking only for concurring opinions and get mad when they don't get them.

 

[joshesmusica]

The person who says something idiotic, and then gets quoted on it, then goes back and changes the original, as if we can't all see the quoted text.

 

[joshesmusica]

Another one from today:

"Need help on a SMaSH recipe."

I suggest trying a single malt with a single hop.

I'm guilty of this. My only defense is you still need ideas on the amounts. I found one recently based on a commercial beer using pilsner and mosaic. Sounded great but wasn't something I considered.

Nanner nanner nanner!....

 

[arturo7]

People who hyphen-ate words that have no business being hyphen-ated.

 

[MaddBaggins]

I only read the first couple posts, still prefer my glass carboys and my favorite type of poster is the berry punching bald F-er.
I love sarcasm and don't appreciate grammar police.

And this forum needs a flipoff smiley.

 

[MaddBaggins]

All 3 tiers of my system used to be kegs

 

[soccerdad]

I am fond of the jokesters who don't add anything particularly useful to any topic but insist on having something to contribute.

I love those guys !!!!

I wholeheartedly agree.

I do that on purpose. and sometines I misspell words wrong on purpose. it gives the gramor Velociraptors some-thing to do.

Rules of grammer is something schools should insure there alumnis know about.

I thought Billy only brewed Stout?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I thought Billy only brewed Stout?

nah, i don't even like beer. I'm a social vigilante.ipe:

edit: I'm always scared to brew a batch. it might have the arson.

 

[joshesmusica]

I thought Billy only brewed Stout?

nowadays that'd be true. but the legends of yore show that billy the berry puncher once brewed the freshest ipa ever made. while that could very well be truly a myth, i choose to believe the knowledge passed down from our forbears.
