It seems the best programs are written by folks who will actually be using it! Very cool that you are putting your IT background to use for your new hobby. Good luck on the development!

Almost like reverse incubating eggs, still needs the right temperature and humidity, just on the cool side. Would you be able to recommend a simple cheese press? Seems to be a nessasary piece of cheesemaking equipment!

General cattiness. I work in healthcare. There are lots of women. Too many in too small an area leads to conflict. If there isn't, there should be a mathmatical calculation that works out the value of the maximum number of women in a certain number of square footage. I can already tell you that...

Adding elderflowers to the elderberries would definitely make for an excellent combination! Best an elderberry bush has to offer! I wouldn't want to take too many clusters of flowers to freeze since I want as many berries as possible, but taking some would not hurt production too badly...

With my elderberry plants starting to come to life (greenery appears late in the great white north!), I am planning a batch of elderberry mead. It will be as simple as possible. White/golden raisins will be used for nutrients. Locally procured wildflower honey will be used. And maybe in the...

Thanks! I do have a wine chiller fridge that doesn't get used anymore. That would bring cheese to a lower temperature. Would need to figure out if it will mess with humidity, though. Probably humidity would be too low in any form of refrigerator without some help. During the winter the...

Yooper, I love how thoroughly you explained everything on your posts. I already know how to make soap, but for any newbie interested in the process, you covered a lot of great information! There is so much incredibly fun chemistry that goes along with soap making. I love understanding all...

Very cool there is another soap maker here. And a Yooper! I am actually living near Escanaba, but since I wasn't born in this lovely place called da UP, I'll never be a true Yooper. Sure love it here, though! People are much more friendly here, compared to other places I've lived. I have...

Good luck with your batch! I bet the vanilla will taste lovely. I am sure you could pick it up from a khajiit that has recently been to more southern regions of Tamriel than Skyrim. I'd think trying to make a simple Nord Mead would be great fun. In Bloodmoon it is described as a such a...

This is my work in progress. My first tattoo! It is underneath my knee. All linework and some shading completed today. We ran out of time, so we'll reconvene to finish in a few weeks! Went so smoothy! It will be so exciting when it is finished! The tattoo artist I chose is so great with...

My goats are back in milk! I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on an easy, aged cheese? The problem is the house doesn't have a nice, cool cellar to age cheese in. So last year, all cheeses made were simple, soft vinegar cheeses kept in the refrigerator. Not that they weren't good...

Adding on to the question, would fruits like dried elderberries or gooseberries be able to replace raisins as a nutrient? It seems historically meads were a beverage produced in regions where grapes typically did not thrive. So dried fruits that do well in more northern regions seem very...

That is unfortunate. I've never encountered a forum where an avatar was allowed only for privileged, paying membership. Perhaps if the cost was more reasonable, I'd go for it. An avatar is forum 101, everyone should be allowed to have one.

I am pretty new myself, but I can tell you that a hydrometer is an indispensable tool when it comes to any brewing, plus a thermometer. With those two tools, you can easily determine the specific gravity, which can tell a lot about what your brew's potential is. It'll also let you know if...

I'm curious to know what your starting specific gravity was. Did you check it? Might give folks a better idea of what to expect from your brew!

Newbie here so take my advise with a grain of salt. But perhaps using fresh pineapple in the recipe would add superior flavor. A properly ripe, fresh pineapple has vastly superior taste to any canned variety, just a wonderful sweetness that seems to be lost when the fruit is processed for...

Hallo, all! New to posting on this forum. I've actually been searching through it for information for a while, and decided to finally join up. I'll upload an avatar soon enough, since I am not on my home computer and don't have access to pics. I hail from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. When...
