Sincerely, take it as a data point and move on.  I do agree that homebrewers know their own system, processes, results, expectations and tastebuds, etc. so using your own experience is a good idea.  People go looking for help when they find something lacking in their beer or when they want to understand something better.  The exBEERiments are fine but you might find them short on scientific information or you may decide that this is better than NOBODY trying these experiments.  In the old days you had some guy on the web saying that he makes his beer a certain way and it's okay with him.  That's not very informative.  We have much more information now and I tip my hat to those who try to help the rest of us.  If the exBEERiments are not for you (or honestly... if anyone in the hobby is not for you), just move on.

yup, everyone on the internet needs to stop expressing their opinions. that is like just so uncool, just be normal, fit in.



i, like a lot of people here, started homebrewing when it was a highly abnormal thing to do, something you would not tell other people about. lol nothing you say can make me act differently, i am a free agent.

Not sure if you're being serious with that part or not.  Was homebrewing ever an abnormal thing to do that you would not tell other people about?

Homebrewing was akin to moonshining before the 70's in many people's minds.  I know I was visited the boys in blue more than once when I first started.  The police understood it was legal but some of my neighbors were convinced I was a rabid fiend doing terrible things in broad daylight. 
In the 90's "they" thought I was cooking meth on my driveway.  ::)

I don't oppose moonshining but I think meth is a step too far, for the record.

But yes, homebrewing was once scandalous.  Such rebels we were.   ;D

I recall an engineer up the road broadcasting that he was a home brewer.  https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-mar-10-na-beer10-story.html

In AL, home brewing was illegal until 2013.

The constabulary paid him a very publicized visit to send a loud and clear message.

Wasn't he distilling too? My memory is foggy on that one.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, yes, he was.

I don’t think Scott was moonshining but I could be wrong. Next time I see him I’ll ask. He’s a member of RCB (Rocket City Brewers).

...

It's been seven years and the sky hasn't fallen. Is anybody making moves to try to make AL's law a little less restrictive?

Yes. Free the Hops is active in the legislation. They have pubs nights all over the State and give updates but I haven’t been in a while.
