TOPIC:

Maybe it would be a good idea if this was available (with links to photos if possible) as some of the jargon here can be confusing I think. Anyone agree?

Yes.[/url:16q6dgmt]

Anyone want to make a start?

Yes, and shamefully it has been raised before[/url:2z0tq8ql]. As I suggested back then, a good start would be for people to either request a definition of a word, or submit it to a thread, so all the work doesn't fall on one person. I had been thinking about a component of the site dedicated to this, but I think a simple article that can be updated over time is just easier, with an accompanying thread for said requests or definition. I'll start an article which will be published in the next couple of weeks. But don't expect it to be anywhere near to a complete gloassary! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I will be looking for contributions, so fingers out <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Pipped to the post. Of course if someone else want's to make a start they are more than welcome! As you can see, I can't even spell gloassary!

I just had a quick reread of the getting started with beer kits from here[/url:t0qez1vh] and came up with the following that I think could need clarification for noobs

Fermenter
Hydrometer
Bottling Wand
Dried Yeast and what different types of yeasts there are available
Pale Malt Extract
Beer Enhancer Kit
Dry Malt Extract
Liquid Malt Extract
Wort
Original Gravity (units for this value?)
Final Gravity (units for this?)
Siphoning

I missed the original thread entirely on this one.

Sounds like a great idea. Explanation of the basic vocab is essential, and I can throw in a few more technical but useful ones from my various textbooks.
