I just made my first sahti, with baker’s yeast and eastern red cedar branches. It was weird and wonderful, it tasted like cedar smells. Lots of wild yeast from the cedar didn’t do it any harm.

Just finished picking apples, so I can dehydrate them in slices to use later for brewing. I’m obsessed with apple lambic RN, but don’t have to time to brew a batch. A few of the apples were suitable for storing whole. Maybe later, I can reactivate/rehydrate the lovely yeasts on the apple peels and finally get a lambic.

There’s money to be made on Reddit?!

I’m immeasurably excited about this. This popcorn tastes amazing and will never run out. They were, indeed, one of the last fun communities. One of the first to go lights out during APIpocalypse, if I remember correctly. Those apes will always have a special place in my heart.

Heh

I had juust enough karma to “qualify” for this hot garbage, but have not been contacted. Guess my hands are clean! Time to invest in that time share instead …where the hell is my gift bottle of shampain?

By the hammer of Grabthar…wottadeal.

The green thing out of focus, at center, looks like it is growing on him.

Hot diggity dog. You’ve living the dream. I can’t get the closest brewery to answer my inquiry about buying fresh yeast, old hops, etc. they’re friendly, but not that helpful. A yes or a no would be sufficient.

How did it taste, tho?

There are thousands of types of mold besides the ones you mentioned and most are not harmful to humans. But there are many that can be very, very harmful under the right conditions, like some types of black mold people find in their basements.

Sorry, bud

Yasss, this is the support I need as a noob

Thank you for this. Might have this tattooed somewhere…or tattoo it on the dog…

LOL it’s my first brew, I don’t know. I’ve got a packet of bentonite, a packet of plain gelatin, I don’t think it could hurt to pick one and try to get the particles of funk and starch to settle. “‘I have read a lot of books about this’, she said calmly as she sat down at the helm.”

You took one for the team. Keep us updated! I had a gallon of fresh raw apple juice that I’m using to make a half ass lambic. It’s slowly settling. Did you use anything to fine it before racking? Is that the right term? Using gelatin or isinglass, etc.

Patience, you have it. Take my upvote

I hope The Snail finds you on your wedding day, with that attitude.

Bless you, a peek at the Realms of the Blessed! We don’t deserve this!

No, I was never a Reddit mod. My first modding experience is at sh.itjust.works. I was making a analogy, which I’ll admit was a bit strained, but I stand by it. The analogy was not intended to imply that Reddit mods were the equivalent of surgeons, it was intended to compare a set of specialists to another set of specialists and what happens when an organization forces generalists (above-mentioned theater kids) into the tasks of specialists. Things always enshittify. All of the mods I’ve interacted with in Lemmy instances and on Reddit have been specialists, in terms of professional, ethical management of content and an exceptional ability to manage “soft” power. I have no motive to flatter any mod anywhere, this is what I’ve observed. If you don’t agree with the observation, fair enough, but those types of mods are characteristic of the communities in which I choose to spend time. Your mileage may vary, but if you find mods to be otherwise, I would question your chosen community first, as the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A wise man used to say to me, “If you look around and every room you’re in is full of assholes, it’s you. You’re the asshole.”

Arrgh, no Mega Cake Month For You! You get 2 tablespoons of warm cola and a stale snacky cake.
