out of curiosity, i'll ask....being that i can now....

I believe wine yeast don't work well with maltose. If your using enzyme I don't know if that would be an issue

Digital meaning, er, the calorie counting thing (and a digital scale) before eating? or does it get digitized, um, later?

i got a gram scale, a 25lb scale....and 3500 calories is a pound of weight, in my experience it takes about 7 calories more a day to maintain a extra pound of weight, be it fat OR muscle......but you can imagine with numbers that tight the "~" sign comes into play a lot.....

maltose or maltiose(sp?) sorry if that makes it seem like i'm joking again.....i swear their two different things! (hmm, and thanks for the tip, and yeah i think the gluco would make a friendly place for the S. baynus...)


edit: i'm brewing pretty much the exact same recipe today. Just only had 14oz's of the 40L though....the only thing i'm doing differently is i'm going to pitch fresh wine yeast, thinking 28g's for a 10 gallon batch should do it.....

It it has to get digitized, you probably need more fiber and hydration in your diet.

fiber is a tough one, they say you need 38g's a day, but even when i was eating beans lunch and dinner, had a tough time getting even 30.....so i figured good enough and threw a "~" on it....and after the first 4-5 beers of the day my urine is clear, and odorless, so i think i'm good on hydration too!

its only odorless because you have Covid. It likely smells like honeysmacks and asparagus. This is why session beers were invented..for hydration.

if i'm getting 10% ABV now, so my old 8% would be a session brew now right?


(this is off topic now though.....i need to post a new thread to try and remember who made gravitity points seem so simple....and i stress "seem" because i'm still trying to wrap my head around....but damn it sure did SEEM simple, over sparged trying to figure out how much effec i lost with what wouldn't fit in the pot....)

 

[bracconiere]

Its all gravity points. 6.5 gal at 1.030 pre-boil = 6.5 x 30 = 195 total gravity points in the brew. 195 / 5 gallons suggests this would be 1.039 when boiled down to 5 gallons.

something like that should be a sticky in beginner's forum....i just had to reference it to figure i'll get 1.078 from my 14 gallons at 1.040 at 138f.......boiled down to 10 gallons....

my god i don't even know how that slipped out....


but anyway i did patch up the seal on the fermenter with plumbers putty......if you want pictures to prove it happened, to dis prove @Beermeister32 , i'll hank lid off with no fear of o2, and take a pic! is there a bigger grin then big bgrin i can use an emoji for....win or lose i'm excited for my wine yeast brew! some people take this stuff seriously and win ribbons, i just want to have a good time!


and i swear even though, this "not brown ale" tastes like strawberry, it's making me happy......if i had the right marketeking team, ahh damn, it's bed time, i don't want to go further with this post....might embares myself or something.....

just to put the debate about wine yeast to rest....judging from the air lock, yeah i patched up the seal with some plumbers putty, wine yeast like maltose A LOT! not as much krausen, but damn, it be bubbling so fast, it'd crash a digital bubble counter! lol

edit: i should post in feedback, that i want to be able to give my own posts a "haha", when i'm soberish in the mornings!

Yeah, never been into the whole competitive aspect myself. I do kinda understand the appeal of "hitting the numbers". But even that's a dim thrill, and something of a buzz kill when "the numbers" don't get hit.

What about the fun? the magic? I'm in this to enjoy the process -- and product! And, I suppose, to save some money -- now that I have all this equipment.

 

[bracconiere]

well i cracked the lid on my wine yeast brew, same recipe....got another day to find out if the yeast flocc, but tastes more like expect activley fermenting almost done, 8oz's chocolate malt in 10 gallon batch would taste like....being that i burst carb by weight and got the pointer to put a fan in the top freezer, should have it ready to drink in 2 days....about when my "Super Duper, i Swear It Costs So Much a Cartel Made It Black Strawberry Wine" kicks...lol

to me i just like making my own to talk smack about the biggest drug cartel, with out having to worry about hit squads! it's great fun! people even have support groups like this, to talk smack together....
