Hey, I"m an EXCELLENT pontoon boat driver!!!! You're the one who's afraid of a little bit of water. It's not easy to sink a pontoon boat, you know!
I've seen some bad advice here on the forum, and sometimes it's been given by me. I've seen some great advice. I think as a group we should just all "stick up" for what we know is good advice, and say something if we see something we think is incorrect. Not in a confrontational way, but just "I don't think fermenting at 95 degrees is really a good idea because XXXXXXX....."
The great thing about brewing is it's not just a science but an art. I have expressed my opinions on the Cooper's Kits, and even called them garbage (!), but I also acknowledge that many brewers have used them and enjoyed them. That doesn't make be right and them wrong, or vice versa. If I'm not forced to drink their beer, what do I care? As long as I explain why my experiences have been different, and am pleasant about it, then I think it's ok.
