Besides the civility here I like the fact that everybody shares interests not exactly related to homebrewing but definitely related to the "I am a homebrewer" mindset. Smoking meat, roasting coffee, making things like cheese and soap are all part of this wierd lifestyle we find ourselves in.
I agree that this forum has a lot going for it but I would like to see 1 change. On several occasions I've seen a civil discussion going on only to have one person come in and say something off the cuff and then say "and lock". I feel that the comment should be deleted and that person put on a temporary suspension for disrupting a thread that others are enjoying. Obviously, their only intent was to get the thread locked and many times they get their way. Just doesn't seem fair to me.However, on a high note, keep up the good work!
Learning homebrewing in Italy is like learning in a vacuum. This forum has been a huge help for me.

I guess it's the chemistry that interests people? pH, fancy controllers, thousands of $ worth of equipment that seemed like a good idea at the time, water profiles and additives. And building a balanced, attractive display of coral and other sea life seems to have some parallels with creating a recipe. (The "Limited Edition" side of coral is more like the whale hunters/tickers on BeerAdvocate though...) Montiporaweizen, anyone? cheers----Michael

(Moderators) do an excellent job of reminding everyone to keep it civil; and we choose to listen. That is good for everybody.
