Given the number of experiments that are happening "under the radar" that people don't want to share openly here, is it worth adding a board that's not accessible unless you have over 50 posts? Or you have to be added to a special "experimenters" membergroup to see?

I hoped this forum was easy going enough to accept and discuss new ideas without the fear of "put downs" or the "tried that 5 years ago" type replies

But if it will help people suggest things then im all for it

No leave as is. I guess when being dismissed as a crank or a herotic has been the norm, people are reluctant to go public until trail blazers have risked life and limb to try things out. I'm sure a more open mindset on here will prevail before too long.

When I've get fed up with doing the kitchen and fancy a break I'll post on what I've been doing.

I think it's a good idea, as it is any Tom or Dick and read the forum and go ahead trying all our suggestions/ideas without a thought for safety.

If we could throw ideas about in the relative safety of knowing only experienced brewers/vegers will have access to them we may be able to make quicker progress.

I tend to agree, but who decides who is competent ... better I think to keep it all in the open, but warn of the dangers.

My worry is that the H&S police put so many warnings everywhere no one takes any notice nowdays.

Do the experiments have to be Bio/veg related, or can I post up some of the things I've been doing to my neighbours?

I think a section with a 50 post rule would be an excellent idea, may be have an experiments section, general chatter section, for other things that you don't want every tom dick and harry reading, and a eugenics section.

As it is, most on here would qualify for access, but as the forum becomes bigger, it would find its value.

I think it could be a good idea to at least have some parts out of the view of the public.
