Brewing Master

Question:

Ok, already, I am sick of it.  I was involved early in a thread comparing three malt mills.  I had mentioned that I recently bought a JSP MaltMill and liked it etc., but suggested the masonite standard malt hopper could be improved, possibly with one of aluminum construction.  Then, seemingly, all hell broke loose.  Seems like it started with Jack calling all the Y2K fixer-uppers scam-artists, or the like.  Anyway, hopefully we will all be enjoying a homebrew on Jan. 1, 2000 and thinking only of how fine our Porter or IPA or Imperial Stout tastes.  Let the Y2Kers do their job. Oh sure, I am sure some of them are taking advantage of a situation, but, hey, that’s capitalism.  Be thankful of it.  Ok, I am thirsty and going to the beer fridge.

Response:

Don’t flames spread quickly? I think this stuff comes from either a boredom level or too much sampling. (oops…maybe I dropped a match!) One good thing about the group, if you get a very large thread, (maybe a sweater with a turtleneck) , you can drink what you like and …and…and… I can say it, drink the rest too.  Happy..

Well, if you’re really worried about it, you can simulate. Move all the clocks in your house up to Dec. 31, 1999, 11:55pm, wait a few minutes, and start brewing beer. I already have a batch of millennial ale. John Watson NASA Ames Research Center http://george.arc.nasa.gov/~watson BRASSEZ NU!

Ironically, a y2k solution.  Back up; then set the computer clock to most known test cases (a year before 2000, a month before 2000, at 2000, a month past 2000, a year past 2000, etc.) and see what happens.  If a problem develops, fix it.  Naaaaaaaaaa
