that sounds dope. which brett?

I've found that this style seems to be pretty gentle on the cap. You can find the same shape on the cheapo paint can openers for about a buck at the hardware shops. Works just as good.

ended up ordering from these guys. half dozen batches and still goin strong. i even neglected the grains in my fridge for a week or more after they arrived. didn't seem to have any effect on them.

for fresh, or cooked curd cheese, you'll be ok. for anything aged, it will likely end up tasting pretty blech.

you might be done, "for now". nice build.

Ha! never gonna happen.

can you get an aceto heavy bug mix without buying one? yeah, easily. can you get the right mix of bugs to recreate the scoby microbiome? probably not. it's a tricky balance of bugs that took a bunch of generations to start liking being room-mates.

are you baiting it at all? most zappers only attract moths unless you put a little meat or honey in the center part.

not to hi-jack, but anyone have one of these: https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/grills-outdoor-cooking/charcoal-grills/char-griller-reg-kamado-charcoal-grill/06620/p-1444423398425.htm price is nice, but if it disintegrates in a year it's not worth it.

the perfect english brown. I'm way to picky with certain styles. i've made a half dozen 'good' ones, but never quite right.

if it works, i'm in. i'm way too chubby for my 6'1" skinny frame.

the same way we all do... :p

i don't think you can stop it completely, but no more o2 should slow it down to a slug pace. that being said, it will still keep eating the alcohol until all the dissolved o2 is gone.

anyone have any luck finding good seltzer flavorings? i was thinking of using a fruit flavored syrup in the keg, but i don't wanna waste the time and effort if someone has stumbled upon the 'secret' flavor ingredients. p.s.-i hate hard seltzers on their own, but as part of a mixed cocktail...

if you keg and backsweeten, you might get away with neutralizing the acid with a little base addition. the bigger problem is the infection causing it. that won't go away and will need to be dealt with when cleaning equipment.

you can't just lay down a bead of silicone and a few weights on top for a decent seal?

congrats, you made a dry liquid.

in light of all the recent necropostings, why not?

indeed.

oh my beloved beauty, let me caress dat booty, let's go to the boudoir, and commence.... wait a sec. oh, crap. this sparge is stuck. nevermind, tomorrow, i promise.
