It is Looking like the first monthly Homebrewing Thread has been a success and I have a question for all of you. Do you think there would be enough interest and participation in the thread if it were posted more than once a month?
Make it a weekly thread?
Make it a bi-weekly thread?
Or leave it as a once a month thread?
The ping list grew by 20 FReepers just yesterday through requests on the thread and by FReepMail
Your feedback would be appreciated.
Myself, I haven’t brewed in a while...recently tried some of the new (to me)Kentucky beer barrel bourbon ale...i may go ahead and attempt some of that lately because it’s so hard to find...read somewhere China is buying it uo kijke fiends!
Apparenly, it is just their regular pale ale aged in whisky barrels for 6-8 weeks...should be able to duplicate that with some oak chips soaked in Jack!
posted this thread to my own homebrew blog...sorry, cannot “pimp” that here...

Semper Watching!
I wouldn’t mind seeing it on a weekly basis. I think there is enough information to share and as time goes on more who take up the hobby experiences, mistakes, successes and tips can be shared. I would like to see wine included in the discussion.
On one hand, brewing and allowing the brew to mature take variable amounts of time, but there’s a considerable amount of waiting involved. On the other hand, some brewers have so much experience that once a week would probably be appropriate. IOW, I dunno. Do you think it would be a good idea to add to the monthly thread when it seems advisable?
It even distracted me from watching UFC live. Unprecedented!
I'd vote for one every Friday.
A weekly thread would be great.
Monthly, gives me time to plan, cook, ferment and taste the goods before spreading the good word.
Ping me too.
Being a minimalist, I’d like to know a simplest beer recipe. Had fun making mead for a while.
weekly might be a bit too much in the long run...however maybe in the beginning you could do it weekly for about the first 3 weeks just to make sure the word is getting out real good. Then slip back into monthly.
I would say keep it a monthly thread to start out and if the interest continues, make it a bi monthly thread and so on and so forth. Better to bump up due to interest than reach too much and have to cut back IMO.
