    I'm partial to sample, as in 'I have to sample this beer to make sure it's good.' (If it wasn't self explanatory.) :wink:

    The brewing term adjunct:

    “An adjunct is nothing more than a non-malt source of fermentable sugars. Thus, this broad term includes

    • Belgian candi syrups of all colors
    • Unmalted wheat, barley, rye, oats, maize, and other grains
    • Honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, and other sugars
    • Fruit, pumpkins, and other natural ingredients”
    https://beerandbrewing.com/what-is-an-adjunct/

    All the other stuff thrown into beer are adjunks.:wink:

    Cheers!

    I'll include my least favorite super cringe word - "crushable". Just stop using it.

    "Life during wort-time".

    While the primary meaning revolves around all the accidents that are made in the brewing process that say, create off flavors, as well as bad brewing/brewery accidents, it also carries over to bad decisions and behaviors with the finished product, i.e., the loss of one's keys, wallet, coat, glasses, car, friends, phone, ability to navigate gravity, sense of direction, dignity, etc.

    It's my term and it's free for all to use.
    You're welcome.

    I'm a fan of quaff. It's a good, woody sort of word.

    Come to think of it the hammering in of a bung with a wooden hammer in a brewery could be a natural sound coming from a brewery. It is an example of workplace onomatopoeia in usage.
