me - "yeah but its not all about falling over water its about taste and satisss...... " got bored trying to explain by now and let them too it



Does this sound a familiar conversation to anyone of you?

Leave them to their ignorance. Sometimes I think its better as a best kept secret.

 

[keith1664]

Nope, I tell them I can make 40 litres for less than a tenner, then I show them a picture of the kegerator.
Cool! is the usual response.

 

[Grumpy Jack]

All too familiar... gotta say I just smile at their ignorance, if they want to fall on their face on a glass of chemicals that look suspiciously like they've already been processed through the human body, who am I to argue...

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

People I know say... "I can't be arsed with that brewing malarkey"..

I hope brewing stays small, we're onto a good thing here. :thumb:

I'd guess that if it gets bigger and noticed then.....T*X. :cry: :cry:

In all fairness I think that most beers look like they have already gone through a human body, difference is with homebrew is they generally don't taste like they have! :)

Very true.

My workmates just don't get it at all, and I'm not going to bother wasting my beer on them to prove it.

However, my next door neighbour makes wine, I make beer, and the man in the next house down has converted his Double Garage into a bar.

We're well sorted.

 

[BigYin]

we've now started swapping beers at work :lol:

I was tempted into the idea of brewing by one of my workmates. I then took it much further than he had, and went all grain. He then decided to follow suit and recently went all grain too. Meanwhile we talked another workmate into his first kit brew, and he's really enjoying that :mrgreen:

 

[critch]

peroni.aahh bless im. :rofl:

 

[pjbiker]

Had some peroni at the weekend and quite enjoyed it actually. Does that make me a bad person :wha:
Someone else paid for it though, always makes it taste better

 

[Growler]

none of my work mates are keen to brew but they all want to try my beer :shock:

cheeky beggers :nono:

 

[Rottweiler22]

Similar thing at college. Sadly they don't seem to appreciate beer whatsoever, they all guzzle pear cider & vodka. They were impressed with my wine though

 

[Hawks]

I work with people that are scattered around, so we don't get together very often. At last years BBQ ( when we do meet up there is usually eating and drinking... ) I took a gallon or so of my beer. Based on this, one of my work mates bought my old plastic brewery and has been knocking out AGs for 6 months or so now. Another has started brewing from kits.

Occasionally we go somewhere where they don't sell anything but lager - like Italian restaurants... Peroni is the only lager I'll drink. Sometimes you have no choice!

 

[Crastney]

don't these Italian restaraunts sell wine?

or do you not drink wine either unless it's home brew?

Yes, “best beer we've ever tasted”, couldn't be arsed to brew any ourselves but we'll take as much of yours as you're prepared to give us :twisted:

Actually found a place that had the draught version once, quite a bit better. You really need 30degree heat and the Med tickling your toes for that kind of beer to work properly, I find.

lol, that's a good question... with young kids we tend to go out mostly at lunchtimes - family run restaurant and they're good with our kids. If I start on the red wine at lunchtime it floors me - not good with me looking after the kids!

Never tried it, but you're right with the temperature!

 

[golder247]

draught always seems better...

I did try some London Lager the other day and that was probably the best pint I have every bought, bloody lovely!
