I wouldn't recommend skipping the offering, but purely from a technical standpoint it is unnecessary.
It's awesome. Seeing aerc getting an update always makes me smile.
Finished my 'try and see' cider batch. Three kinds of apples from the yard, juiced at the juicers, plus a homeopathic 22 g/L pale ale malt. Fermented to fully dry in 17 days at 14 C and 1,8 bar. After that a couple days at 2,5 C to clear it out. Plenty of forced carbonation. Came out a bit mild, like a dry white wine, but that made it easy to drink. Gave most of it away in 3 L bags, because I want to get the vessel empty and get a beer going.
Lesson learned: much more acidic apples next time, and the malt wort needs to be as concentrated as possible so it doesn't dilute the apple juice.
Now is proper.
Oon ollut Loviisassa turbiinia purkamassa. Roottori ei ole mikään pikkuosa, oon yllättynyt että tässä edes kehdataan muotoilla asia, että 'varaston viimeistä viedään' XD
My hot tip: initial capital so that your aliases are just a capital letter + tab away. Cache cleanup, update and Bleachbit:
alias Päivi='sudo pacman -Suy --noconfirm'
alias Siivous='sudo pacman -Sc --noconfirm;sudo pacman -Rns --noconfirm $(sudo pacman -Qtdq)'
alias SuurSiivous='sudo bleachbit -c system.trash system.ro tated_logs system.localizations java.cache journald.clean b ash.history'
Couldn't help myself, a little bit of malt went in along with a helping of dark syrup, to the effect of 2 ml syrup per litre of ol' scrumpadillo. Very lively fermentation already on day 6 (at 16 °C). Wishing you the best of luck with yours :)
I too did the juicing station run last week. First attempt at cider forthcoming. I'll try a malted cider with 1/6 of the malt I use for beer. That should provide the yeast with healthy nutrition.
This! Made nice labels for the first few batches but surely it's better to keep it craft and sharpie on 😁
nice produce OP!
I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.
Putting an image on it is absolutely a big part of the fun in this hobby. I'm trying out Red Ale and Red Rye Crystal malts in my next brew, along with a helping of Simpson's Premium English Caramalt and ginger that made my last two batches really nice and sweet.
I'd like this to be extra red, so I'm even toying with the idea of throwing some beetroot in. Any tips for other seasoning that would provide crimson colour?
I've been brewing for little shy of one year and thought I'd make some content for this fine group and say hello :) Here's what I do, with what it's done with and some little tips that work for me...:
I've been brewing two recipes that I kind of feeled together with Brewtarget the software. One is a pitch black stout style number with caramel rye and coal black Viking Malt roast atop Viking Malt Sahti-malt, the other a light, pils-style number made with a special malt made from a local farmer's select grain and a little bit of Viking Malt's Sahti-malt mix on the side. Both are brewed with a particular fresh yeast (available in all shops and only 0,375 € for a 21 litre brew XD ) in keeping with the Finnish Sahti tradition; the yeast produces strong banana-y esters, but I find that can be controlled to a great effect by brewing under pressure and in lower temps.
In the beginning there was a big kettle and a Brew-in-a-Bag that I got cheap. Then came a Kegmenter 29 l pressure-capable brew vessel and a round drinks cooler that fits the Kegmenter neat. Built a table on top, picked a branch from the woods to hold a Nukatap. Filling bottles happens with the glass funnel with a piece of hose attached, and the big syringe is good for cleaning the lines by shooting hot water down the spout of the tap.
For fermenting, I connect the red Kegland valve that sets a threshold pressure level to be maintained in the fermenter; after that, excess is released through the airlock so that it keeps me entertained :D The setup allows for temperature control during fermenting, I've been experimenting and starting to like 14 °C most.
And what can I say, is it not the best hobby in the world! Cheers :)
They generally leave the shitty bits to more advanced learners.
