What Is A Real Brewer ?

[quincy]

I am brand new to home brewing (as can be seen by my number of posts !!!). I check out this forum everyday and can not begin to tell you how much I have learnt.

This particular topic has been interesting and has compelled me to post.

Everyone here is extremely passionate aboout their craft whether they are AG'ers or extract brewers. Hell, I'm even passionate about it and I haven't even tasted my first batch. (still in the racking bin !!).

I have "brew" respect for anyone who has more knowledge than me irrespective of how they brew - so I guess for me I don't give a toss how a "real brewer" is defined!!

I think it's all about the passion for the "craft".

If this passion was the criteria to define a real brewer - then welcome fellow real/true/master/kin of the world brewers!!!!!!

I don't know why Ken wanted to know what people think of him and I think most of these posts are just healthy shit-stirring and good for the forum, but for anyone getting too serious...

Whats real mean? You mean like get a real job or something? i.e. your job (religion, nationality, car, wife, brewing technique) is not as good as mine.

Phew... there are some people who agree that there are other people inferior to us. I can feel better about myself now.

Aussie Home Brewer

Aussie: self-deprecating, anti-authoritarian, anti-elitism, having a laugh.
Home: warmth, sharing, friends, family.
Brewing: from dump and stir to point and click and all points in between, allowing yeast to make beer out of wort you had a hand in preparing.

cheers

Im a proud All grain brewers and used to make kits and good kits but dont mean u cant make good beer.

Also if you cant ferment a kit beer forget doing an all grain brew

also most swill beers are fermented from grain and all thbe old brew from grain
so i think that is real brewing o lot more can go wrong

but still u can make good beer with kit u just have less control

i think i may have given off the wrong impression with my post. i was in no way having a go at ag brewers....one day i hope to be one.

and im very aprriciate of all the healp i get from you guys and every other brewer on here

i do think this thread is one where we will keep chasing our tales over and over.

when i comes down to it we are all BEER MAKERS.... so i think the time has come to unit and fight the evil forces of crap beer that is the norm for most of the world h34r:

GMk your such a trouble maker hahaha

Datfrog, it sounds like you're the one being a little precious here. If you're going to be rude, then you're welcome to go back to the Grumpys forum and keep out of here. Just because people are debating a topic and expressing their opinions doesn't mean they are "pompous" or "whingeing".

My only contribution to this thread is to second the motion to nuke it before it causes any more divisiveness.

Admin/Moderators,

Can we delete this thread please!

No say it isn't so. We must keep this thread forever as a reminder of man's inhumanity to man.

If we hide from our past how will we avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

Let GMK's poll serve as a lesson to us all that labels can hurt

Cheers
