   I hate bullshit jargon.

   Why is adding yeast to beer or mead called "pitching yeast". Why don't people just say "add yeast" like you do for literally every other ingredient and process in your life?

   I don't know why this infuriates me so, but it does. Every time I watch a video about beer brewing and someone says "it's time to pitch the yeast!" I have an overwhelming desire to punch my screen.

     Underhand or overhand? 🤔

     @dever I think it's more like they strip down and suck each other's cocks, then gather up and take a selfie where they all make an :O face

     "It's time to pitch the yeast! Aren't we so quirky and cool? We call it 'pitching' instead of 'adding' because brewing is #notlikeotherhobbies"

     Saying "pitching yeast" is the beerboy equivalent of having a nose ring and gauged ears.

     My god it's so infuriating.

     @eriner do they do a wind up, or maybe make secret hand gestures from a distance before they pitch their yeast?

     @eriner if I wanted to learn a bunch of stupid words for common shit I’d take up sailing.
