Wyeast is believed by some to be the legendary name of Mt. Hood, however the
name does not appear in books on Chinookian dialects.  The name was
apparently used in Indian myths.  Wy'east Basin is an area on the north side
of Mt Hood.  The preceding information came from Oregon Geographic
Names---Lewis A. McArthur, 1982. Common pronunciation sounds like "why
east".

Most people I've spoken to pronounce it "Why-east". I'm really not sure if
the 'official' pronunciation drops the second "y" , or if my friends and i
are just lazy (probably the latter).

Here's another,
How do you guys pronounce 'Trub'. I know that Charlie Papazian likes to say
'Troob' (did he invent that pronunciation?), but everyone i know (myself
included) just says 'trub'.

Suspecting it was German, I mentally say "troob".  I checked with
babelfish and it translates trub (with an umlaut over the "u") as
"cloudily".  So maybe it means something like that in German?

Where to you get to hear Charlie speak?  I pretty impressed with this
group, we have guys here that are on a first name basis with John
Plamer and now Charlie Papazian.

In his book, Papazian gives the phonetic spelling of "trub".  He writes it
like troob I believe, but I always say it to sound like tub (as in bathtub).

I've always heard it referred to as "why-yeast".  Don't know if it's correct
or not, but the Homebrew shop knows what I'm talking about.

I call it Y....EAST and pronounce as two syllables.  Call it whatever you
want so long as the guy behind the counter, or on the phone can get you what
you desire.

I have a brewing buddy that calls Carboy's CAR - BOUY (Buie), that will
really irritate ya...;)

Cheers,
Mike

My family spoke German in the home until my generation, I traveled a
lot in my life and rubbed shoulders with several languages.  One thing
they all had in common was the "ah eh ee oh oo" pronunciation of the
vowels.  If you pronounce non English words with those vowel sounds,
the words are generally correct and recognizable to speakers of the
language.

Have you ever heard a German pronounce Lowenbrau?   It comes out
something akin to "leavin broy".

Actually, I've never heard him speak, only read his book. i know he used to
speak at some conferences, don't know if he still does. But I'm pretty sure
John Palmer posts or at least lurks here time to time.

A lot of guys around here say that too. Mostly french speakers , the 'boy'
part seems to give them trouble

I can understand that they needed a name that was easier than "Big Ass Jug"
but how did they come up with Carboy?  ;-)

Mark

I first met him at a conference in 1989.  Charlie is a fine guy.  He is far
more shy than you might expect.  He is happy to sit in a corner of a bar and
drink quietly.  I saw him last in Kansas City at the conference, what three
years ago?  He struck me as rather burnt out at that time.  It is not hard
to understand.

Imagine the crappy beers he's had to taste over the years...He probably
can't meet a homebrewer without them pushing a bottle of 'their great new
brew' in his face
I wouldn't blame him for being a little withdrawn!

I love looking up the etymology of words, its like a box of
chocolates...

Per American Heritage:
SYLLABICATION: car�boy
PRONUNCIATION: k�rboi
NOUN: A large glass or plastic bottle, usually encased in a protective
basket or crate and often used to hold corrosive liquids.
ETYMOLOGY: Persian qarbah, from Arabic qarrba, big jug, from qarraba,
to bring near, derived stem of qaruba, to be near.

I can't explain why, but it rubs me the wrong way to pronounce something
spelt with an 'ort' as 'urt' or 'irt' as in 'wort'.
