Are you saying you are a novice brewer?!?! How dare you come over here to the Advanced section and post such newb nonsense.
FYI: We merged the two. There wasn't a line and we had noob/advance questions in both. For now we'll keep it as one forum, but we can always take a look at breaking another one out down the road; and draw a line when we do.
thanks a lot. i found myself reading both forums anyway. if you're going to split, maybe just break off the recipe critiques from concerns about everything else? but i think it's good for now.
mm, that's about the only split i'd like too (and even that isn't really necessary). it was pretty clear from the beginning that the sub-forums were completely overlapping.
