I have recently joined this forum and found it very helpful for me. I learned a lot of things about brewing and beer here.
I would rate this forum 4 out of 5.

If you go back in time and take note of those with High Accomplishment and time in the Craft, you will find some real gold and great minds on the forum.
If you look at the last 3 years however you should see pretty quickly that a lot of the posts belong here:

The following Distillery Trade Forums allow " Free Speech."

If you are also Distilling you should investigate.
ProBrewer does not allow Free Speech, and is in fact enacting more Draconian measures daily on the user interface in an attempt to control things they have no right to control.
The so called " Rules " are fully subjective and you are magically " assumed " to have the same kind of cognitive " bias " as those people who cooked them up from a Socially Engineered mindset given to them by outside authorities.
This is a high consequence of " Social Engineering " and it comes with a high price.
As thus the rating is off the chart since it must be considered from all angles.
