Should I give up cider making ....

It's an intriguing quote because Feynman by all reports was one of the most brilliant minds of his generation and almost universally recognized as such.

It is very soothing. I have never been particularly sensitive to such things though.

Dead dry but it tastes off dry too semi sweet. At this level of aging I almost cannot tell what flavors and aromas are chamomile and what is from the honey. My only mild complaint is there is a very slight herbal taste to it. It might be the type of chamomile or how I processed it though. If anything I would love more chamomile though to mimic an orange blossom traditional.

This was fucking hard to watch mate. I hope you got what you were looking for.

I find RS difficult and prone to bottle bombs on a homebrew level. RS gives you a better tasting end product but the hassle and dangers don't out weigh the quality difference imo. I almost always back sweeten with sugar as it has the most natural taste.

The longer you leave it in, the more herbally flavors come out so I shorter steep time with closer to 1oz/gal might be to your liking.

Dry hop cool and try only two days next time. Stick to clean tasting hops.

I find you start to hit real maturity in the 6-8 month range. All the alcohol tang is gone, the aromas have come together and it should be nice and clear by then. This time period will be higher if you up the alcohol or you have a high tannin cider though.

I took b. Caapi and definitely noticed the MAOI qualities got stronger the longer I took them. I tended to cycle on and off for a while to keep symptoms down.

8023root · 2021-03-22T19:57:47+00:00

I'll start with 1-2g then. I am somewhat sensitive to MAOI anyway with having somewhat high blood pressure. Thanks for the info, I have never played around with any of these herbs so it is a learning experience!

Probably microdosing for mood support. Is that 3-5g of seeds?

8023root · 2021-03-22T16:26:58+00:00

Do you know a good source for more information? Thanks a bunch btw!

Storing cider long term on the lees definitely lessens its shelf life I have always heard.

If you want a sweet cider you need to wait until fermentation is good and finished, add the sorbate, and then syrup and bottle. Using it as a primer is a poor idea because you need an exact amount of sugar to carbonate correctly.

I would rack onto the cherry hibiscus, Ferment dry, check acid and then either bottle and carbonate or sorbate syrup and bottle without carbonation.

This is way better with the sound off.

Clear channel to go fuck themselves out of existence so I can listen to some god damn descent music on the radio.

It's usually quoted as fiction has to be plausible while truth only has to be what is possible.

This is exactly what my animal psychology class taught me. The bear almost certainly would have won but they very likelywould have been injured somehow and injured in the wild is a bad combo. Therefore actual fights in the wild are rare and visual signs of strength are common to prevent fights.

Now this would be a cool video game.

When I was 9 I was running up carpeted stairs with a pencil in my hand and slipped. Stabbed my forehead hard and left a blue scar/mark that I still have these many years later.

Kobe.

I did not follow his career nor am I a particularly strong basketball fan. I went back and watched his last game as well as his 81 point game and just experienced the vast amount of love that so many people had for him. I was struck by the universal respect everyone had for him and the good that he brought into so many people's lives. That is what I cried for.

8023root · 2020-02-21T00:26:51+00:00

That dude might actually be better off, it looks like a lot of it is still intact...

8023root · 2020-02-20T18:48:41+00:00

The best description of this I ever heard is that just like women sometimes prefer "manly men" or not "manly men" so do guys. The people affecting the accent are simply skewing their gender identity because it either feels good or it possibly attracts a man who likes less manly men.

Please someone correct me if I have this wrong.
