    Help Me Choose My Next Beer Glass

    I'd suggest a "Maß Krug", the dimpled 1 litre German beer stein seen at Oktoberfest (they also come in smaller sizes online). Also, the German bierstiefel ... the glass boot; which can also be a bit of a drinking game as the challenge is to drain the glass without getting beer back-splashing...

    How might I best put this? Doctors, Nurses, phD's describe the auto-suffocating cough.

    it's called paroxysmal cough which is also common in the condition Whooping Cough.

    Apollo era snack food that went to the moon ... sticks so it would fit into the port on your space helmet.

    I've got a full set of Jarts, in the original box, in my garage right now. "When Jarts are outlawed, only outlaws will have Jarts"

    Wine ph Adjustment

    The low pH is curious. Next time, do a serious bout of sanitation with your equipment to reduce the possibility of having an acetobacter infection which is introducing acetic acid into your wine ... make sure to sanitize air-locks as well. When acetobacter produces acetic acid it 'should' be...

    are laundromats really that big a thing in the US?

    Geez pal, you’re wasting my time. My "argument", as you put it, is ONLY that there are more laundromats because many landlords don't install laundry facilities due to cost. Period! And, when it comes to those said laundry facilities, the cost of the building department's oversight is one...

    are laundromats really that big a thing in the US?

    Exactly what (to quote you) “argument” are you accusing me of making “at the end” of my previous post which “insures the landlord will do it on the cheap” ? When it comes to laundry facilities in the unit, many landlords won't do it at all. You need to go back and read that “at the end” section...

    Dandelion Highs

    Wine is *not* going to poison you, and dumping it just because it has a pH of 4 to 4.7 would be an abject waste. If it is not suitable to consume, you'll be tipped off when you drink it because it will taste bad. The chart with dangerous pathogens you posted does *not* apply to wine. And...

    What is food grade lubricant ? And cleaner as well ?

    the only food grade lubricant that will not go rancid that I know of is food grade mineral oil. It's not intended to be consumed, per se, but it is meant to be used around food equipment etc. I use it on my butcher block and cutting boards when I happen to resurface them, and on my commercial...

    are laundromats really that big a thing in the US?

    People who live in apartments or rental units often use laundromats because landlords often don't put washers & dryers in their units. This is often because the local municipal Building Department makes it difficult and expensive to do so - through not just their obnoxious oversight, long...

    Forum on our local BrewPubs, Breweries with tasting rooms, Cideries, Wineries and LHBS

    No overlap, the "Brewing Events ..." forum has almost nothing in this . See my post, above about what listings I've found when I searched a 6 state region. To have overlap ... you have to have content to overlap with. A forum such as this would be best served with its own main forum on par with...

    Forum on our local BrewPubs, Breweries with tasting rooms, Cideries, Wineries and LHBS

    The forum "Brewing Events & Local Gatherings" (sorted by State) would be an HBT section to possibly put it in ... as long as it does not get lost there and is "out of sight and out of mind". We want people to know see it and use it. I'd say that the right setup would be a state-searchable...

    So, Covid finally tracked us down…

    Had covid in March of 2020 ... at least I think I did, testing was not available at the time. I don't think I've had it since then ... though I did just order a set of the free covid tests from the website COVIDtests.gov With the holiday season starting in a few months it'll be good to have...

    Forum on our local BrewPubs, Breweries with tasting rooms, Cideries, Wineries and LHBS

    It would be nice if HBT had a separate forum for discussion about our local BrewPubs, Breweries with tasting rooms, Cideries, and LHBS (local homebrew supply stores). I would think that a lot of such places were originally started by home brewers & wine makers just like members here. (makes...

    Lacto-Fermented Pumpkin Pickles

    Sounded interesting. I love "natural barrel" pickles. And pumpkin pickles sounds ok ... but I wonder if Watermelon Pickles wouldn't work better. https://culturesforhealth.com/blogs/recipes/fermentation-recipe-lacto-fermented-watermelon-rind-pickles Never tried it myself but when I was a kid I...

    Minimum for a small cidery

    Becoming very, very familiar with the licensing regulations for opening a cidery in your state should be your *very* FIRST step. As reference ... where I live in Michigan becoming a small commercial hard cider producer requires a "Small Wine Maker" license ... you should carefully read the...

    Minimum for a small cidery

    If you are serious about opening a cidery, you might try to get help from the HBT member, "LeBreton ". Extremely knowledgeable about Cidery operations, and cider in general. I don't think he's been around much recently (for about a year and a half anyway) ... but you might try to contact him...

    Pectic enzyme needed for a base of pureed fruit?

    From your posts ... >> boxed bag of commercial plum puree ... Would pectic enzyme be needed? With high-pectin fruit especially, pectic enzyme is generally needed if you want a wine that does not have pectin haze. >> However, when I used pectic enzyme in last year's rhubarb wine it didn't...
