Bottling Hb In Clear Glass Bottles.

[manticle]

Regardless of whether a noob expects every answer handed to them on a platter, you have a number of choices

1. Answer the question for them
2. Give him clues so they can find the answers themselves
3. Be a rude arsehole.
4. Ignore the thread

4 needs the least effort, followed closely by 2. A simple sentence like 'google light strike or skunked beer' would help anyone who viewed the thread (not just the OP) get some clues for doing their own research, much more than would antagonistic goading. or sarcastic rejoinders.

Welcome back? You're the one who stormed off to bigger and better things. mate. I've been reading every day as I always have.

The search system could email him whatever results he wanted before he even thought of them and it wouldn't alter anything. He hasn't asked a question that is asked all the time. He hasn't asked anything he should be able to work out on his own. There isn't a question that could be asked that hasn't been answered already. If noobs can't ask a question then what is this board for?

I'm not sure how I'm the unreasonable one here, fella.

Who's stupider, the people who don't know the correct search terminology, or the people who get angry at them about it?

Correct search terminology ? how about........



Phew, that was a complex operation.


Bum, I didnt mention the AHBwiki, just wiki. You know, the one that everyone in the world knows the existence of? For such a self-proclaimed & ardent seeker of knowledge (as te OP keeps arguing in various threads to justify his laziness), is reading a full wikipedia article only reserved for the most elite of academics ?

Dude. Only ******* read wikipeadia.

I do apologise though. I can't imagine why I didn't assume that your are upset he didn't think to check wikipeadia for homebrew related questions before he asked them at a homebrew messageboard. I am a tool.

I am a tool.

If you say so.

Bum, please explain how using the custom google search function for "clear bottles" is too complex ? I would love to see how you weave a rich tapestry of ******** in your response.

 

[bum]

Yeah, fair call.

 

[Nick JD]

Guys, click on the dropdown menu where it says Silo Ted next to one of his posts and go to Find Member's Topics.

Then notice how many of his post are asking stuff that could easily be googled.

I especially like this thread by Ted: "What is BBL?"

Clicky.

This one's good too. The third reply is a link that would have come up in a search, had Ted not been so lazy.

Ted, STFU. Forums are for more than outright answers.

 

[Silo Ted]

Yes, and you will find that I have pretty much answered my own questions in the OP's that I create, clearly showing a pre-cursor of searching beforehand.

This guy, on the other hand clearly does ZERO legwork before posting. ZERO ! Uh, I have a question, I'll use the helpdesk.

 

[Silo Ted]

AND regarding BBL< I also did some calculations before posting, and came to within 5% of the answer.... BEFORE POSTING.

My point is that this guy does literally **** ALL for himself.

Your arguement is misleading. Sounds like someone else I know.

Okay. First of all, you assume those would be his search terms. His specific question is related to a comparison between clear and brown bottles - this complicates his potential search. Maybe "clear brown bottles" yields identical results but I'm sure you'll let me know if it does. The Google search function is not clearly explained to new users - it would be understandable for someone to not realised that the searches done there are constrained to AHB. It is entirely likely that he used the search function when he first came here and found it as unhelpful as most other people seem to report and never bothered again - a lot of that about the place if you do a search about the search.

Even if he should have done the search first and even if it is a simple one and even the only response he is entitled to is that he should have done a search that doesn't change the fact that the response he got from you was not that he should do a search but that he asks too many questions.

Fully agree with advice, claer glass fine once kept in dark.

I have gotten all my 200+ brown glass pint pottles for free (bar a few bottles of homebrew) from my local pub, I use the magners cider bottles, nice thick glass & a good roll neck for free hand lever capper. They also suited my shelving at the time for height. I'm sure your local will save you what ever bottle you want in return for a few HBs far cheaper than the extortionate price of buying those 650 ml bottle (over a dollar each) & they're thin as paper, only really critical if heat treating or using a hand capper.

 

[Silo Ted]

Okay. First of all, you assume those would be his search terms.

Does anyone bottle into clear bottles such as Corona bottles? I know brown glass is more traditional, but any reason why you couldnt bottle into clear glass?

I don't know Bum, how much of a stretch could it have been to find the right terms to use ?

 

[Nick JD]

Your arguement is misleading.

No, my argument is perfect. You are reinforcing the fact that not only are you one of those sour ***** who comes on forums and hammers noobs, you also can't see your own hypocrisy - and the little you do see you try to explain by adding a "but I tried harder than him" bit.

Truly sad, Ted.

By now you could have written the definitive guide to hop skunking and improved all our knowledge and the search function, but all you've done is shown everyone here that you can keep quiet and be thought a fool, or you can open your mouth and prove it to everyone.

You might think its antagonising, but through this tough love process I have illustrated the ease in which simle queries can be searched for.

Untimately, Truman will be richer for reading my replies. It will help him on numerous subjects in future. If it's a bit harsh, so what, he's gained something from it. But I'm not going to kiss his neck & give him a reach around while I'm teaching him the ways of the internets.

Kinda like teaching a man to fish.

Yeah, with a net.
