    What's the worst that could happen?

    Dear God Man! Don't Do It! The fate of the Multiverse hangs in the Balance! Er.. I mean... It'll be beer.... Not the beer the recipe that you're using is going for, but it'll still be beer. Less sweet, higher ABV perhaps... Have you plugged it into software to see the effect on the numbers?

    Soup

    I throw some finely chopped kale into lots of things... Meatloaf, pasta sauce (shredded carrots and zucchini are good here, too), soups, salmon patties, etc,

    Soup

    Hambone soup for us tonight. Cold and rainy here in Pasadena. Perfect night for soup. Had a bone-in ham over the weekend, so ham bone soup it is... No food porn, yet... still simmering... I'll see if I can edit to add a photo later... Edit to add:

    New Home Brewer Bangkok Thailand

    Hi Micheal, Mr. Beer is a common gateway drug into the world of home brewing! Now you're hooked! I started with a Mr. Beer kit that my wife bought for my birthday.... After 3-4 Mr. Beer kits, I move on to 5 Gallon extract batches. Then after 3-4 of those, I moved on to all-grain BIAB...

    Homemade PBW Recipe

    Somewhere upthread, someone reported positive experience using "real" TSP... The recipe uses TSP/90 because it's trying to mimic PBW, but TSP/90 is a phosphate-free version of TSP (i.e. not really TSP at all) that serves the same purpose. So I'd imagine they perform similarly...

    Heavily brown stained BIAB bag

    Probably not enough to be detectable.... If you're worried, give it a fews hours soak in some hot water with oxiclean free (or PBW). That'll take most (but probably not all) of the staining away.

    New Homebrewer - Extract to All-Grain

    This right here...☝️ You can try out all grain for the price of a bag.... See if you enjoy the extra steps. It's easier to have an 8-10 gallon kettle for full 5 gallon batches (depending on O.G) but you can dunk sparge or pour-over sparge if needed. There's no need to go all-in on an AiO to...

    max lbs of malt in a 5.5 gallon pot?

    Looks like if you mash at 1.5 qt/lb you should be just over 4.5 gallons... It'll be tight but could work... You could back off the mash thickness a bit to give yourself a little more breathing room... Use the 2g pot to heat sparge water for a pour over sparge and to top up during the boil...

    What do you use when you squeeze BIAB?

    You could spank the monkey and squeeze your bag at the same time.... ... what? :ghostly:

    for a dead simple sweet mead, look for JAOM here on the forums... Joe's Ancient Orange Mead... It breaks all the mead making rules but is pretty much foolproof. Add all ingredients then ignore for a couple months... takes about 60 days Then look for the BOMM... Bray's One Month Mead ... uses...

    Your thoughts on rosehip wine

    I've never tried rosehip... I've tried other fruit wines where the recommendation to freeze/thaw was to break the cell walls of the fruit so that the juice is more easily extracted... But not sure how effective that would be for rosehips but it shouldn't hurt anything. Have you found Jack...
