I joined here in 04 after seeing AG done at IBUer Ray mills house. Awesome brewer, and looked easier than i thought. Turned out after a little hiccups, it was easier than it looked, and the beers were good, and kept getting better. Im still learning stuff, and my beers are IMHO, much better. Though like has been posted, sometimes they can be average, usually when i try something different.
One of the annoying things here is that it seems people who post often are looked upon as knowledgable, purely coz they post a lot. Also, i see a lot of cut n paste answers, ie , i read this on the xyz site, so its a fact. I'd much rather tell someone about something that i've actually tried myself, not tell them what i've read. Obviously, research helps, but sometimes what you read might not relate to your setup/procedure/equipment. Now, if i wanna do something different, i'll research, ask a few questions, then do it. If it works, woo hoo, if not, d'oh!
