Welcome All New Homebrewers

Dec 25, 2003 10 Replies

For those of you who have unwrapped your homebrewing kit and are wondering what the heck to do with it, here is some advice:


  1. Read the directions. Twice.


  1. If you are going to post in the newsgroups, please give us a clue what the question will be in the header. 'NEWBIE QUESTION' is not a good header. 'PROBLEM STARTING SYPHON,' and 'OATMEAL STOUT RECIPE QUESTION' are good headers.

  2. Look your question up on Google before posting your question. It's probably been discussed.


  1. Don't ask how to make a Bud clone, or a Coors Light clone. We don't spend our time and money to make cheap beers.

  2. Relax.


  1. Don't worry.

  2. Have a homebrew.

And for the love of god, don't ask for a recipe for Zima!

Merry Christmas!

Good advice for this time of the year as we get many new readers over the next couple of months. I'm not a big fan of #3 because every question has been answered which means that new posts are probably useless here. Ask away with your question. We are eager to help (and suck you into to a great hobby). You will be a better brewer for hanging around RCB. I know I am.

Burp,

yeah, my thoughts exactly.

been there. done that. doesn't matter ;-)

Mark Garwatoski opined thusly:

Anybody have a recipe for Zima Lite?

Then, ignore them.

I never tried that stuff. How does it taste?

7-up with some maltiness and some vodka. I drank it in my younger years.

Very nice it is basically an alcoholic lemonade style drink, excellent and very refreshing around the barby

I assume you were not drinking the Finnish May drink but the crappy American soft drink
