Pronounciation Of Trub And Other Brew Words

[Screwtop]

As was explained to me, the w in weizen etc is closer to a v. The best way to describe the sound I've come across is this: try making a "v" sound without letting your teeth touching your lip... that would explain what someone heard as "oicebeer"...

Sorry but no Andy, began with lips pursed as in , think it's a Southern or Barvarian thing.

Screwy

cyanide and happiness? I thought that was for 15 year old girls? j/k mate, it always frustrated me a little, tho there are some crackers on there. What line of work are you in? I don't know anyone who doesn't like xkcd - but everyone I know works in maths/science/computers, and it's pretty specific to that area of interest.

I'm just going to park this here. I know of at least one brewer who will appreciate the context. For a better view, see the site.

Ahh yes, Dinosaur Comics. That comic reminded me of this one

wikipedia gives both pronunciations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trub_%28brewing%29

however if you type "define trub" into google, and click on the top link, it'll give you mostly definitions that say it's pronounced 'troob'.

Personally I say tr-ub. It just sounds more sludge like to me.

And since you use it as your name the internet has taught us that you INVENTED the word and as such you OWN IT. It is pronounced "truh-b" now, guys.

Settled.

Just in: InBev has copyrighted the word 'trub' for its latest beer for some reason, and now we all have to use the phrase "Yeastie Sludge"

 

[bum]

Man, I can't wait to get my dirty mitts on a nice, cold can of Trub.

Yep, that's right.
A 'DMCA takedown notice' is on it's way get this thread deleted...

 

[bum]

Oh, I just realised that could be taken as having a go at you. I wasn't.

I was most certainly having a go at someone else, though.

Good read after a few beers, especially Manticles less than savoury interjection a page or two back

Meanwhile, whats the deal with grist? Is it plain old Gr-ist? Something 'a little bit fancy'?

Yeah, poor attempt.

Night - boingk

I'm struggling with the pronunciation of 'hop' and 'grain' myself

I'm struggling with my own name at this point. Too many IPAs.

no, no , no, just joking. I never took offence.

AHB mods: there is no DMCA takedown notice on its way.....yet

I have the same problem with my dutch surname; BOUWMEESTER. In Holland they pronounce it Bow-(as in bow down)-meeshter. My Aussie Dad says Bow (as it bow-tie) meh-ster. In school I got Bow-myster, and Bow-meester (as in Mister Meester, you know the crazy lady from Happy Gilmore).

Confused yet? ****, my wife didn't even take my name when we got married (i can't blame her). How can you take someones name when no-one knows how to say it.

I just prefer Bowie.

Cheers

Bowie :icon_cheers:

Another clogwog ! Great.
I'm dutch too, but my problem is I have a french surname. The many many permutations I've endured over the years with that one would fill a small fortune. Even harder is that the last letter of my name is . Try telling someone over the phone what that is, and try getting them to input it into their computers! No wonder I'm folically challenged.

Art handling and conservation.

I make a pretty 15 year old girl.

Alt 246
Alt 0252
Alt 0239

Yes, I know about those ones.

But I'm still trying to find the ASCII code for the n-umlaut...

Any body got any thoughts on 'Carmel' (Caramel)????

I think Americans pronounce it that way because of their heavy arse, oops I mean r's.
