Do we need to put up a detailed and pinned thread about new processes?

Not a bad idea if we intend to keep the beer forum active and relevant.

I've got a new-ish method (at least for me) for racking that i've found to be helpful to minimize sediment pickup.
I ferment in Ale Pails and rack with an AutoSiphon, but I think this could also be helpful for those who ferment in glass carboys or Better Bottles.

Maybe just a topic tag?

Like a new one that says "NEW BREWING CONCEPT" or something like that? I don't use tags very often but that could be nice. Can you search by tag? Or... everyone who starts a thread like this just put NEW CONCEPT: at the beginning of the thread title so they can be searched. I'm spitballing now.Maybe just a topic tag?

I appreciate the simplicity of jumping into this forum. That and all you guys who contribute of course If we can keep the categories to a minimum?

Hey! You shut your mouth about the Brewing With Pets subforum!I think it's a fantastic idea but imho I don't care for a forum that has so many categories; AHA and NB to name two. For example, Extract, All Grain, BIAB, Brewing with Pets etc..

Seems more like they might get moved to FAQ section after everybody hashes them out.

How another sub-forum in BEER called "(New) Topics in Brewing"?

This is why we can't have nice things around here. All the Tom Foolery and Shenanigans

I was kind of considering that. I think George may have to set up that subforum because I have not done that. He did such a nice job with The Hot Spot we may as well let him do that. All of the threads would be a separate topic and it will start with some information on the topic and then there could be some give and take. I realize some people don't like additional forums and subforums but it would be nice if someone dropped in here and we could say, "Check out the NEW PROCESSES subforum before you go any further!" or whatever. If a thread is started in there that IS NOT a "new process" thread, it can be deleted so the subforum can be kept clean. I'm open to other suggestions too.How another sub-forum in BEER called "(New) Topics in Brewing"?

I say no. Make some new FAQ topics about some things if needed. Or people can use the search function. Eventually "New" ideas become old. So how will you know when to remove them from the "New" subforum? Just my opinion but I say no to new subforum and/or pinned threads.

I'm always resistant to a new sub forum. Plus, I don't want to make structural changes while we're in the middle of a move and upgrade.
FAQ won't work because only Mods can post there, so everyone else couldn't comment.
We can search by tags, but only with the crappy built-in search function. Everybody uses Google now for anything important, right?
I say we just go with a title prefix like NEW TECH: for this stuff in the short term. We can re-evaluate once the move is complete and software upgraded. Who knows what fancy capabilities we might have then. In the meantime, we can find these threads easily with the prefix and discuss them.

I jumped into the AdminCP to see if I could find how to set up a new tag but I couldn't find it. That's probably the better way as opposed to putting it in the thread title but I think either one would work. However and whenever we decide to do it, I'll start to fill it with some new stuff and ask that others do too.I'm always resistant to a new sub forum.
