How Many Posts On AHB Do You Need To Win a Brew Comp

[tavas]

Perhaps those that can - brew, and those that can't - post...

Punkin just tap out the morphine drip rather rather stir **** on here bro. Hmmmm morphine. Stupid buggers once let me tap it out then reset it cause I was goint to have to stand and **** for xrays and it would hurt like hell. They didnt think about the fact that all that morphine would make it slightly hard for me to stand. Or do anything other than become a veggie.

Im not winning any! but making better beer because better brewers suffer my questions, help me out. This forum is full out helpful responsive people. Yeah, the newbie thing gets tired but it's the first question on a massive learning curve that this site exponentially increases and aids.
Dont open the post in stupid question threads if you dont want to.
But if we all stopped answering, the forum would be useless.

To op, seems a no brainer, been round a while, probably make good beer. It's this a conspiracy question?

I post on here a lot because I am obsessed.
I brew a lot because I am obsessed.
Practice makes perfect. I am a while off that but every post and every brew gets me closer, and I think a combination of my obsessive brewing and obsessive question asking here has really helped my brewing this year.

Case in point: This beer took out #1 Wheat at nats: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/51830-infection-photo-thread/?p=1082635

Most of my posts on here are questions and sometimes noobish ones...because if I knew, why would I ask? Give the noobs a chance, I say...their probably a season or two of champion brewer...

Plenty of brewers that don't enter comps either.

Because we don't have time to actually brew. What with all the posting to be done and all.

To answer the original post...

I guess there are other resources than AHB: books, other brewers, brewing, other forms.

Some just don't like to spend a lot of time in front of the computer and only come on here for club stuff, comps, bulk buys...

And to cover the high posters, well... It's a forum, innit sorta thing yeh?

Is THIS the thread about caterpillars?




To be on topic OP, not every home brewer graces this forum, although it is easy to get caught up in... I would tip about 30% of brewers frequent here, the rest have a other resources to learn from... So to compare any HB comp to ANYTHING that happens here, be it post count, lack of or, heaven forbid, 'likes' - is, in my eyes, a little ignorant to the real world... not saying you are, just sayin.

Thread has gone seriously off topic, please try to stay to the original subject.

I think the OT has been resolved with all the comments related to the fact that there is zero correlation between post counts and trophies, eh?

It's also pretty blatantly in the wrong forum, mod.

It's a question about competitions in the competition forum.

Agreed. I have quite a few posts, and have been a member on here for quite awhile. I have never entered a comp.

Winning/getting a decent place at a comp is not necessarily make you a great brewer. I remember reading a few years back on here about a brewer who got a second place. They mentioned they had heaps of issues with their beer, and they jagged a good tasting one a couple of months before a comp. So they kept it, entered and won. But they said all their beers leading up to that one, and even after were pretty ordinary. I can't find the thread. On a few other occasions I've sen posts with the same type of comment, "this one came out really good, I'll keep it for a comp". Nothing wrong with keeping your best for a comp, you enter to try and win it after all. To me a good brewer makes consistently great beer, some may have minimal posts, some may have lots.

Unless you're suggesting that postcount has a direct, tangible affect on competition outcomes (i.e. not the beer and the perception of that beer by a collection of judges) then you question is not directly about competitions at all.

Hey, I make beer with water. Better put all my brewing questions in the water thread. Herp-derp.

What Id like to know is if Dane is still about assisting or he's taken the $$ and run... He 'said' he was going to help with issues...

true to form it is going along on his time frame by the seems of it

:icon_offtopic: I am sure I saw Dane at the 4/11 in Cuba smoking $20 cigars <_<
Post count means stuff all about anything other than there are those who are more verbose than others.
There are theoretical and there are practical brewers, I fall somewhere in between.

Post count is completely irrelevant to comp wins. I saw a post this morning by 'howtobrew'...from 'John'.... in 'California' and he only has one post! (authentication required)

 

[Aces High]

This place is often like a school yard and if your not in the gang, comments that you make, no matter how relevant or funny are often overlooked. Even worse there are try hards trying to be in the gang by trying to big note themselves at the expense of possibly wiser, less forum savvy people.

So people who could offer a lot of knowledge or experience tend to sit on the sidelines and just absorb info rather than sticking their neck out and having it chopped off by some upstart who's just got past the "why isn't my airlock bubbling" stage and has dreams of a thousand + post count and all the glory he imagines comes with that.

Once I post this I am going to look and see what my post count is cause I really have no idea

Edit...222 Posts...F.uck Yeah
