I have a beta version of the new stainless Hydra. No ripples.

So sorry.

The only nutrient that might absolutely be needed in beer is zinc, but, as with DAP, a batch-sized dose in a starter would be toxic to yeast. (With most things needed by most living things -- think salt and humans -- concentration makes all the difference between essential and lethal.) Wyeast...

I didn't actually make the pierogi -- they're from the Pierogi Lady -- I just prepared them. But great comfort food! (Potato and cheddar BTW, my favorite.)

Easy to get lost in that thread. There's something in this post. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/index.php?posts/7532200 Elsewhere too but I think this was the first mention and I haven't retraced it any further. I normally use dish liquid on my aluminum, but occasionally will find PBW...

I thought we learned in the Homemade PBW thread that the sodium metasilicate is there to protect aluminum?

??? Been using aluminum forever and never experienced such damage. PBW is perfectly safe for aluminum.

Well as long as there's beer.

Northern Italian sausage often is more German, i.e. no fennel, more garlic, maybe marjoram and nutmeg, etc., as far as I can tell. Me no likey fennel in sausage I'm gonna eat with spicy mustard and beer. All other ingredients negotiable. Maybe it's not so much the beer that I find conflicting...

Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is readily available under that designation on Amazon. It is also sold as a phosphate-free TSP substitute, for instance Red Devil TSP/90, familiar from the "homemade PBW" thread. I stand by my testimony from experience that alkaline cleaners can leave...

I realize I don't even know if my bathroom door closes. No point, there would just be immediate scratching and meowing until opened.

^^^^What he said.

You're not alone. A lot of us have been where you are so many times, and few things are harder than dealing with these decisions with a pet. Hell, it can be harder losing pets than humans, because we feel so personally responsible. Maybe you could keep us updated on the Cats thread, I'm sure...

I don't care which it is either, standard or daylight, I just want to stick with one all year. It's gotten even more ridiculous since then number of months (or weeks) on standard has gotten so short anymore.

We had those too, indeed for making grilled cheese sandwiches over a fire. I remember them well, because we actually got good use out of them. While my parents were building our house out in the boonies, we'd be working on the property all the time and made a lot of meals over a fire. Then...

Ultraviolet light will "skunk" beer very quickly -- even in minutes in some cases. So you should avoid exposure to both sunlight and artificial light that might include UV, like fluorescent. It is probably simplest, if you have to put a translucent fermentor in a place where light can get to...

CDC's current list of EPA tested and approved disinfectants assumed to be effective on COVID-19. https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2020-03/documents/sars-cov-2-list_03-03-2020.pdf General guidance here https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/cleaning-disinfection.html

Bleach destroys everything, and is way, way cheaper than any of our brewing specific products. As a household disinfectant, bleach can't be beat. I'd save the brewing chemicals for the brewery, where you don't want bleach in many situations, so the extra money is justified. Not a question of...

A full mug indicates a forum with new posts since your last visit. An empty mug means no new (to you) posts in that forum. So if you never visit HBT, they'll always be full. But then you'll never see that.... [emoji848]
