He was ahead of his time and considering humans natural resistance to change, it makes sense that things were contentious. Anyway it’s nice to see much of that material becoming more accepted on this forum.

To be clear, it had nothing to do with “resistance to change” and everything to do with his attitude that “You are stupid if you don’t brew the same way I do” and then the argumentative crap that it spawned. If you don’t see that, I don’t know what else to tell you.

I’m all for those people who want to LoDo brew … that doesn’t mean people are “stupid” if they choose not to.

Furthermore, nothing that has been discussed in this thread is new or discovered via LoDo brewing techniques. The dark malt antioxidant properties go back to Papazian’s first book for crying out loud.

I was also here when all that went down but my experience of it was, obviously, radically different. Instead of taking offense by what he said, I decided there might be something there to learn. Also for the record, I said forum and not specifically this thread about seeing more acceptance, maybe not. I thought homebrew dogma was hard to let go of but it seems hurt feelings more so.
