Questions that annoy homebrewers...

[the75]

A couple of the ones I get annoyed by:

"What are you going to name your beer?"

After telling someone I entered a competition at a festival or fair:
"Oh, I'll be there! Will they be serving your beer?"

How long does it take....that's a common one.

Can i have another one?

Just kidding, I take that as a compliment.

Annoying is the usual, can you make my favourite beer when i come around next week? especially if they knew they were coming months ago....

"Why is that so dark?"

(When it's a pale ale.)

The most annoying one to me is: "Oh, you make beer? How do you do that?" I'm still stupid enough to try to answer it, and I get it all the time, so that's definitely the most annoying to me.

I find living in China that, although virtually nobody homebrews beer here, making alcohol at home is something most people are familiar with, so when they ask questions, they're usually intelligent questions that are on the right track. The dumbest (and most prolific) question I get is, "how do you get it in the bottles," and that's not really a dumb question if you've never bottled a beer, just kind've annoying to answer over and over.
