[Gunge]

Tough call. I'd vote for Tanzanite - a man after me own heart - but he's been banned. Clint comes a very close runner-up but it has to be BigCol49 for his wittiness and general likeability, but mainly for oustanding generosity in advancing the cause and spreading the lurve amongst fellow brewers.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

A top 5 on NY Eve and a finale on NY day?

Sounds like a good plan, i will close this in the early evening on NYE and post a top 5 poll, how many votes should each member be allowed?

Gunge you can vote for more than one member in this run up to the top 5 poll.

This could be more than 5 depending on how many are on the same score come cut off time.

Everyone on here is very helpful but I vote for IainM who very kindly gave me some PET bottles he wasn’t using which has launched me on the road to home brewing.

Also terrym who comes up with very good, helpful advice time-after-time.

I second that

 

[dad_of_jon]

Strange-steve for his great swap review thread and his water treatment.

Myqul for just being myqul

Stigman for his amazing ability to drink nothing but the best beers in existence (which helps me with my bucket list )

and dan125 for his great work for forum t-shirts. There are lots of others too but the alchohol haze is strong atm!

 

[Lawrence22]

Seeing as your allowed more than one vote at this time I'll also vote for Bigcol49 for general good advice and Strange Steve for Water Treatment advice.

Thanks DOJ
@dad_of_jon for his consistent brewing of beers that get you smashed, a man after my own heart. I rarely brew anything sub 7%

And also @strange-steve for his fantastic reviews and his water thread

If 2 votes is allowed, make it a top 10 for the half finals.




Oh crap those Rocheforts10 kick in o_o

 

[IainM]

So many deserve a shout out, but I'll go for myqul for the yeast harvesting, culturing from bottles, and strange steve for water treatment, Xmas swap, quality reviews and sharing experiences with challenging beers (lambic, eisbock).

 

[Braindead]

@Bigcol49 for El Dorado hops when I was broke

 

[Alside101]

@Bigcol49 for sure the most generous man alive and the caption comps

[MyQul]

Come on you buggers vote for me! I've only got 4 and that shyster @Bigcol49 has got 8!

 

[MyQul]

Seriously though, I'm going to vote for Bigcol as giving all his kit away was probably the best giveaway the forum has or will ever have.

Strange steve, there isnt anything close like his water treatment thread(s) on the interwebs.Plus I like reading his beer review thread

Finally Gunge, as I dont think their is a more grumpy and cantankerous person alive and one of the best tip I've ever had was from Gunge (Flaked barley anyone?)

 

[Bigcol49]

Come on you buggers vote for me! I've only got 4 and that shyster @Bigcol49 has got 8!

My own votes go to Strange Steve, MyQul and Dutto.
There are so many excellent members whose postings have taught me so much that it is tough to choose.

Count yourself lucky, none of the bu**ers has given me even 1 vote.
Seriously you're all off next years Christmas card list.
