Why do some people drift away from home brewing?

Post by Koornang »

Hi,
I've known a few misguided souls who seem to try home berwing but then fail to continue....

I was just wondering why these fools fall from the fold...

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andrew

None of the above.

Maybe they died?

Well, actually now that I think on it my neighbour thought it was worth a go and then left it (Prior to my arrival or I would have had the kit)

They got bad advice, see you don't really have to know anything to open a HBS. It certainly helps but there is no pre req. I mean I have more time going backwards than some of these guys have going ahead when it comes to brewing and they are dispensing advice like they know whats up. I mean one guy even said I couldn't drill my fridge to install a tap

He must run a shop here in Melbourne now.

He tied to tell me that the parts for a Schweppes keg poppet valve could be used to repair my Cornelius keg poppet valve.

Watched as he destroyed the poppet valve trying to show me how it was done (I let him go as it was stuffed already).
