  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    You still have to pay for it because it costs money to make. But it's completely open-source beer so you can recreate it yourself if you don't want to buy it pre-made, or you want to modify the recipe.

    I have no idea how to make beer otherwise I'd have a crack at this shitpost myself...

    Isn't this already true? Beer is essentially just water, barley, malt, and hops. We've been making it for thousands of years.

    So I put 100g of barleycorns, 100g of malt extract, 100g of hops and 100ml of water into a pint glass and it's really hard to stir. When does it turn into beer?

    I mean you can find recipes in this very thread, it doesn't have to be a mystery to you.

    This was my thought as well. Is there proprietary closed-source beer recipes? XD

    [–] 0ddysseus 7 points 3 months ago

    Yeah there 100% is and probably always has been. The yeast strain, the varieties and processing of the barley and hops, the water source, the process etc all make for wildly different products. So a make that has a distinctive and popular beer will absolutely guard the recipe. This was true at least back through the medieval period, and there are some Belgian beers that still have proprietary recipes that are hundreds of years old
