If the last few days are any indication, that'd probably be high leg count comment section enforcers. Gandalf is probably Hokie Fireman, just going by his board demeanor.

Larry Fedora is team Hans. Even after seeing the whole movie.

Haven't fully decided and bought everything yet, but strongly leaning towards a brown/amber ale.

Probably less to do with fans' desires and more the school and athletic department. I'm sure no Clemson fans enjoy thrilling FCS matchups with SC State, but the school knows they have a hot team right now that is a guaranteed sell out, so they want to ensure they get that seventh game revenue stream every year. This is simply Clemson looking out for Clemson. Their own self-interest is more important than the financial incentives for the conference left on the table from the ESPN-ACC Network. It's probably going to take pressure from ESPN in order to change the ridiculous politicking in the ACC.

If you're serious about being a good visiting fan, find a Nebraska fan and follow their lead. They are the best visitors in the country.

If you're serious about making everyone at the opposing school remember you, do all of the things mentioned above.

There are a few things to consider here. First, stage of fermentation. Later on in fermentation you really don't want oxygen getting into the beer, especially if it's a hoppy beer. So if it's during primary and you have CO2 production or the krausen is still there, no big deal at all. Plus, early on yeast need the oxygen to perform fermentation anyway. But, I wouldn't recommend moving it during secondary or after most of the fermentation activity has died down.
Additionally, your yeast cell count. If you're under pitching (e.g. using a White Labs vial), then it's not a problem to move it around and keep some yeast suspended a little longer. With any extra oxygen early on your yeast will perform better and with an under pitch, you'll get fewer esters/phenols or possible off flavors.
Good luck on the brew!

What type of beer are you making? If it's a saison, then heat is very good for it actually. But most others don't do too well.

hm, thanks! sounds like I might just be better off borrowing the parents basement until I get enough room of my own. I could put it on top of my beer fridge which wouldn't require me to move it at all, but i'm afraid it would get too much heat radiated into it and mess with the process.

Double Dash was the go-to for me and my roommates back in Foxridge. Lots of cuss words and good times.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'm easing my way into the craft brew scene.
