How to pronounce trub

[Lawrence R]

As someone who has gathered most of his brewing learning from books - how do you pronounce “trub”. I had also assumed it was as rhymes with scrub, rub, etc. Now I hear Americans on you tube pronouncing it as if spelt “troob“. Which is correct?

 

[Bobtheblob]

Personally I say trub as it appears, but "troob" is technically correct I believe.

Im just going to go with "trüb".

 

[HarryFlatters]

I think "troob" is correct, because it's a German word, but it doesn't really matter all that much. Folk will still know what you're talking about and only the real weirdy beardy brewers will correct you

I pronounce it as in "troubled" (German trüb = U pronounced as in "bunch")

 

[Lawrence R]

Thank you all.

Troob - American pronunciation

Trub - English pronunciation.

I’m with @HarryFlatters
The Americans can’t even get on with litres and grams so I wouldn’t usually expect their pronunciation of German words to be up to much. Ask one to pronounce Worcestershire...

Here is the German pronunciation. Click the speaker icon next to ‘trüb’.

Ah..trub, the bane of our lives,stuff we dislike..we don't want it!!
It's funny how some words are...take our word TRUB...reverse it...BURT.
Now BURT....is just like TRUB!
NO person I know has a nice word to say about him...not even his son...
A sad affair...

I've been trying to clean out a (not very IMO) wide-mouthed Wilko fermentation vessel. Maybe I could use a pressure washer, and wipe the inside top down with a dish cloth. It's not easy to get to the bottom.

Just call it **** you can't go wrong.

Trub. Wort. Am I pronouncing beer correctly?

I would say the correct pronunciation is however the queen would say it, which is presumably the German way.

 

[Rodcx500z]

I would say trub to the queen would mean Harry

German speakers have a wide variety of regional accents, similar to English speakers in Britain.

Down my way, the letter u with umlaut (ü) is more like a "ue" sound, and is often written as such when one can't find the correct key on the keyboard. A direct English equivalent, and pronunciation, is the final sound in the word "blue". (which is actually "blau" in German, pronounced to rhyme with "cow")

So for me, trüb rhymes more with "tube" and "brood"

Edit: I asked one of my local brewing friends to record an audio file for me. See attached (it's an audio file converted to video so I can upload it here. Should work in something like VLC player. Even plays directly in Firefox for me when clicked.)

At this moment in time, Bezza, I can't be sure if I'm breathing in and out correctly.

Yes, well Liz and I are not quite on speaking terms the noo...

 

[DCBC]

I learned most of my brewing from US podcasts and for me it's Troob, Wurrt, Kroysen. If they are incorrect and they make me sound silly to a British brewer I don't really mind :)
