Homebrewing and craft beer are not one and the same. It can actually be much harder to nail a lager than some of the "Craft" styles you may be referring to. You are in good hands on this site if you want to make a macro lager type brew. Temp control and sanitisation are your friend. Looking after the yeast is a key for lagers also, even faux lagers.

This article summed it all up nicely for me: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/02/05/comment-craft-beer-exists-so-guys-who-don-t-drink-wine-still-get-be-pretentious

Beer is beer people.

Buy it cheap and cold and you're set. If you need beer with a hint of caramel, vanilla and bacon then you need to find a woman that can cook.
Dude you are definitely on the wrong forum. There are beers and then there are Beers. I reckon you might find this website http://www.drunkard.com a little more to your tastes :)

Cheers - Snow.

Man, I lost count of how many times I had this article emailed to me... I don't know why people feel the need to try and bring others down for enjoying something.
 
Sail and anchor draught seems like the beer for you

It's usually the other way around though.

I cant go out these days and order emu export or VB at a bar without some some bartender telling me to go to the bottle shop you cheap bogan drunkard peasant idiot or have a bunch of yuppies look down thier nose at me for drinking crap macro peasant beer. You must pay $10 for my craft beer or you are ****. Go drink sail and anchor and leave us to our barrel aged wonder beverage.

Hence why the bogans like sending snobs articles validating what they always knew about beer.

2 classes in every society. The snobs vs the bogans.

The snobs want to intellectualize eating and drinking and taking a **** whereas the bogans just get on with it.
 
I've changed my mind, I think we should keep him as a pet and maybe try and start a small troll farm. Question is can they eat spent grain?
 
yes, all people who cant distinguish buttery diacetyl from passionfruit banana ester are trolls..

Yes, anyone who claims to know nothing about brewing yet can reel off things like 'buttery diacetyl' is Trollin'
 
yeah, that 3 minute beer snob youtube video has given me a wealth of knowledge on the complexities of beer

I am still interested in home brewing for the cost savings and health benefit factors .
Interesting choice of words... At a minimum of 10 beers a day, health benefits are somewhat mitigated..
 
maybe so, but 20 years of macro chemicals vs 20 years of homemade grain goodness might pay off after a liver transplant.
 
One things for sure stonedpirate. Since you've started drinking beer your posts have become more and more articulate. It truly is the Nectar of the Gods.

This thread is just the evidence I need to prove my wife wrong.

Man, that's where all the fun is! When you're not just consuming stuff as a mechanism to get drunk or get sustenance - but you're really thinking about it, talking about it, enjoying it, broadening your horizons, learning etc etc. ****, same goes for everything in life doesn't it?

That is one argument but i dont the the conversation when drinking beer should be the beer you are drinking. Drinking is a social lubricant designed for personality, dance, laughter, sex and conversation. Beer is only the conversation when you are with dentists and doctors and accountants or some other bland boring segment of yuppy society that missed out on the personality gene. They might have the money to buy an obscure imported craft beer but to me, it doesnt make them any more interesting.

And you think that what you are doing gives you personality, and makes you interesting? What a sad life it must be to have to join a random forum and then stir **** just so someone will talk to you.
Sad, sad, sad.
 
He is not even an amusing or entertaining troll :rolleyes: Yawn. On to the next one.
 
Sorry to have an opinion different to yours.

Not here to entertain or to troll.

Just making my own mind up about the beer situation in this country.

Kind of sad really..
 
Oh Yasmani, where art thou?
