No a question is never so simple to best be left to a google search. Most of the questions posted here so far are also covered on the web, if not all of them. The site is supposed to be a collection of all homebrew questions and a ranking of the valid answers as voted by the community. When you do a web search for an answer you have no idea to what level of confidence you should accept that answer. StackExchange lets you see exactly what a community of like minded people think of an answer.

Having great answers to the simple stuff really makes a big impact on beginning brewers and ultimately helps to grow the community. – chatche Mar 6 '12 at 21:27
