It’s on the list, but not something I’ve researched much yet. Do you recommend?

Did you add them raw or boiled them down or something? And what was your best flavour?

Great tips thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Our ideas of cheap are different though haha

P.s. just attached the sediment pic in a comment. Image upload is acting flakey today.

Thanks.

I have glass bottles but was sick when it was bottling time and it was just easier to use the plastic ones. They’re basically my emergency bottles.

As for the temp, it seems that with this kit it needs to be on the cooler side (18-21c). The room I was doing it in is fairly cool but not that cool and it creeped up to 23c for probably about 10 of the initial 24 hours unfortunately. When I noticed I got the wet towels out which helped a lot.

After that it says to keep is between 15-21 on the online instructions, and 14-18 on the physical ones. I avged about 16c throughout the brew phase so got that okay.

With the warmer weather coming, I’m concerned I won’t be able to keep this cool enough without some extra stuff (was thinking an old freezer unit for insulation, and some kind of wet blanket or ice pack rotation).

No off brand heads you can use?

Thanks!

As I’m new to this I wanted to confirm something. When you say grain do you mean making your own wort?

The laaaannddd of the freeeee.

Tempted to just make a bot to start posting this on all the American politics posts right now. 9/10 times it’s going to be relevant.

Please write a post about the comparison! As well as any differences apart from taste you had in using baker’s yeast.

I’m new to this and one of the things I’ve been wondering about is if I can just use baker’s yeast.

Hmm.

It’d be interesting for to see a forum whereby it’s all readable by anybody, but only those at the top of their fields can post/comment.

I imagine there’d be a gap between those comments and what the rest of us can understand but I kinda like the idea in terms of ensuring we get intelligent, well thought out, comments on important news stories.

I’m starting to wonder if this is all a conspiracy along the lines of some major geological event is going to happen, most of the middle and lower class will die or go through extreme upheaval, and there’s a power grab now so that those in power now already have the institutions and resources set up to keep power in that scenario.

Something like global warming/apophis asteroid just completely resetting our game board.

This ties in with the anti LGBTQ+ movement to try and force an increase in population as much as possible so that there can be a larger numbers of foot soldiers for a resource grab.

It’s all very tin foil hat, but it feels more reasonable than it should considering everything else that’s been happening recently.

If the above is a thing, Europe should think about offering intelligent US citizens even nicer visa packages to take advantage of the trump hate.

A mApp?

I assume the other 3rd are “Ukrainian” in the way that they’ve been places in Ukraine by Russ, but remain loyal to Russia, not Ukraine

Jesus Christ Russia have absolutely nailed this part of their geopolitical play.

They’ve basically got 2 members of, if not an entire, US government under their thumb, they’ve corrupted the EU to make one of their major contributors to leave (thinking the US is on their side, idiotically), and they’ve got good relations with the other superpower (china).

Annoyingly, it looks like the EU which is the most, even if not enough, “for the people” political establishment in our world today is going to get screwed over the next decade or so.

I was replying to the other guy, and agreeing with you :)

Isn’t it literally the one who dictates? (Maybe you were skipping that step)

What’s your solution then? It’s a fair enough concern that Putin backed in to a corner is going to become even more unhinged and throw some nukes around, no?

It seems the only option down that path is to accept that the endgame here is having all of Russia, and at least one other country, nuked.

This sounds like a feature music streaming services should introduce with the sync up to your phone’s alarm
