I farted in my bottling bucket to purge the O2 out. FYI I was wearing a flatulence deodorizer. Will my beer be infected now or do you think my flatulence deodorizer captured all the contaminants? Also is this common practice? If not how does one purge oxygen out so my beer does not become oxidized?
I hear that beer purged with fart gas goes well with Mexican food. Then you can fart some more, purge O2 from the next batch, and the cycle continues...

Honestly the repetitive threads don't bother me. Folks gotta learn somehow...
I think it's narrow minded of people to think we have covered every topic of brewing, especially because craft brewing is in it's infancy. Look at how complicated some of the HERMS systems are and how high tech the commercial breweries are. Isn't that what they teach you in college "be a critical thinker with an open mind"?
I agree with you mostly and also the post you are responding to slightly. (Can't quote both I'm on my mobile right now.)
I believe a lot of you guys who get hung up on grammar a little too much, are forgetting that this is the Internet. The Internet is GLOBAL. And beer making is probably universal. (E.T is probably chillin at the bar with his alien boys right now)
What I'm getting at is that when you see some posts that aren't the clearest grammatically they could be from people who don't speak English primarily and are looking to try and make some beer but don't have access to a ton of info in their native language.
If you see the guy is from one of the states and types in an unintelligible way and is looking for answers when we aren't even sure what he is asking then I can see where some annoyance can come into play.
So I guess people who had to leave school at an early age to help on the farm to help support family members (some who never even learned to read or write until later in life, like my father). Or people with learning disabilities may want to think twice about posting a question on here for fear of being ignored and/or ridiculed??
Nice!!

We're not here to whine. We're not here to put on an air of superiority.
Speak for yourself. Whah!!!!!
Oh yeah, and I'm better than you!!
jesus, you guys know what he meant!
i HATE anything with "swmbo" in the title

Should we be using the term "swmbo" at all? Kind of perpetuates a stereotype, doesn't it?
Oh, come on now. You're just sour because of all that lambic crap you've been drinking!
sterotypes exist because there is truth in them. I love mayonnaise, grew up in a run down trailer house, and I have 12 teeth.:rockin:

I know quite a few forum members are posting from their mobile apps, but if they can't type out a coherent question because it takes too much time and energy, then I simply won't spend the time and energy myself typing out a full and complete response. I normally don't respond to any posts that use "text speak" like "u" for "you" for that reason, and I will not respond to a post that doesn't use any punctuation at all. I simply think that if a person who has a query can't be bothered to spend time formulating their question, then I can't be bothered to spend time formulating and typing an answer.
I'm not bothered in the least by questions, even if they are asked a thousand times in a weekend- because this is a forum called homebrewtalk and not homebrewsearch. I figure that if I just can't summon up the enthusiasm to answer the same question again that day that someone else well, and in a friendly manner. And that really is the important thing.

I just deleted a whole bunch of those and left what I hope are helpful notes in their place.No one wants to go through 10 pages of "subbed" before finally getting to the next piece of relevant information.
ftfyI also tend to under-use commas. Which swmbo (who has a master's in education) has learned to ignore.
Sometimes the suggestion to search isn't a bad thing. It would be nice if everybody at least made an effort to find the information in an older thread. Sometimes the answer just isn't there but many times it can be found with a quick Google search. I would never use the Homebrewtalk search. Google with "Homebrewtalk" added to the end of the search will usually get you where you want.I really do not care when I see a duplicated thread. Typically its beginner questions or people looking for information who are just asking for help.
What I find annoying is people who feel they have to comment after someone posts a supposedly duplicated thread, telling the OP that its already been answered, why don't you use the search feature, and so on. How about instead of berating someone, you assist them with the information they are looking for, and if you have it in you, kindly inform them about the ability to search within the forums.
I do not think new, repeated threads are really a bad thing. It shows that this forum is clearly active and growing, and it means new people are getting into the hobby. So instead of complaining about it, help these people who annoy you so much and in a nice way point them to the ability to search instead of making these types of pointless threads. If it bothers you so much, maybe this isn't the place for you.
