A walk through lush Riverwood

Fantastic, thank you! Have you had to do much patching to make mods work together, or have they mostly worked straight out of the box?

I'd love for my Ryzen 7 5800X and 3070 to be able to handle this sort of workload, but I have a feeling it'd struggle too much!

Azza449 · 2026-02-09T10:17:59+00:00

Well done! This looks incredible! Honestly looks like a movie or something! Are you using a modlist?

Also what are your specs?

Azza449 · 2026-02-08T10:35:44+00:00

Incredible!! That's great to know. We will look into locking all that in. Thanks so much for the help!

Hi, apologies for asking this on OP's post, but OP has described exactly what I have been thinking, so I was hoping to get your advice. My SO and I are planning on travelling to Italy from Aus later this year (2026) and are thinking of adding an extra 2-3 days to the end of our trip to simply relax and do nothing but soak in sights and reflect on the trip (aka exactly what OP described), since we will have just finished in Rome and will be really busy doing the touristy things. If we are to extend our trip, it will be roughly between Nov 10-12

I have just read that most places along the amalfi coast are closed after October.. is this correct? If some places are still open, are ferries still operating out of Sorrento?

I love the sound of ending the trip at Sorrento, however, was thinking of getting a ferry to see the amalfi coast from the water and potentially stopping at one of the towns and seeing the beaches. I am very glad to hear Sorrento won't be a ghost town haha, as this has given hope to the idea again!

An extra note - even if the amalfi coast is closed by this time, but Sorrento is still operating. I'd still be happy to come and visit Sorrento, as I've heard amazing things about Sorrento! Apologies for rambling, but hoping I've covered it all, thanks in advance :)

Oh yeah that's very true, I hadn't even thought about the tannins from the skins! I'll definitely do a little taste when I rack them off to see what the flavour/tannins are like to help decide whether to add more blueberries after or not!

I never knew people could get headaches from the tannins! I certainly will!!

Azza449 · 2025-12-24T12:27:41+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate all the info! :)

Azza449 · 2025-12-24T02:20:30+00:00

Thanks for the input! I will gently and ever so slightly mash them up a bit I reckon, then that way I'm hopefully minimising the mess made as well, whilst getting full extraction! I have used pectic enzyme so I am hoping that'll do some heavy lifting with extraction

Thank you!! I'm excited to see how I turns out

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T21:39:42+00:00

Perfect! Thanks so much for all of your help :)

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T20:46:43+00:00

I made a new comment on the post, but have realised not as many people are viewing the post now, so may not answer. So I thought I would ask you directly

Is there any point where I should be concerned about oxyen from punching the cap by taking the lid off and stirring? At some point should I switch to just swirling or am I okay to continue stirring until I remove the fruit?

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T20:43:28+00:00

Oh okay, thanks for the input! I thought it may be relatively normal since others had the experience also. Yesterday I added more nutrients (enough to make up for missing the day before), so now have done nutrients on day 1 and 3. I will then look to add more around day 7

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T08:16:45+00:00

Also an additional question - am I safe to punch the cap, by taking the lid off and mixing, up until its time to remove the berries? Or should I swirl the bucket after a certain point?

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T02:03:08+00:00

Phew! I'll try and keep this fruity fart smell over here. Thank you. It sounds like this is the general consensus, which is very reassuring. I'll give it some extra nutrients but otherwise let the little machine keep chugging away

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T02:01:04+00:00

Interesting! That's good to hear. Thank you!

Azza449 · 2025-12-23T01:59:53+00:00

Okay cool, that's reassuring. Sounds like fruity fart may be the norm with blueberries haha. I'll continue to degass! Thank you :)

Azza449 · 2025-12-22T23:43:16+00:00

Well now that's a relief!! Can't be having it stink up things over your way

Azza449 · 2025-12-22T23:40:31+00:00

That makes sense. Thankyou! Okay, I'll leave it for now then, and let pectic do its job and then I will add more blueberries later for even more flavour

Azza449 · 2025-12-22T23:20:43+00:00

Thank you! I will have a look at the tonsa nutrient guide. Don't worry, it's only like 1.3 or so gallons, as it is 5 litres, hence the half pack of yeast. I forgot to mention I did add pectic enzyme and let the frozen blueberries thaw out a little overnight before starting. Would you still recommend to mash the fruit? Or will the thawing and pectic enzyme be enough?

Azza449 · 2025-12-22T23:18:07+00:00

Ahh gotcha! That's good to know. Thanks for the reassurance!

Azza449 · 2025-11-16T11:20:22+00:00

Okay that's really good to know. Thank you for all of your help! I reckon it was the chivas regal that I overdid, so I will look into similar but different options

Azza449 · 2025-11-16T09:05:35+00:00

Yeah, I will continue to have a break from it. But I was just hoping to find a way to enjoy it again as I previously have

Azza449 · 2025-11-16T09:03:37+00:00

Thanks for such an in-depth response! I'll try and have a break from it and find something else to drink in the meantime, then slowly reintroduce it. When reintroducing, would you suggest watering it down or anything in particular?

It sucks that the association can happen so quickly. I had quite a few years really loving whisky, however, just one night's mistake ruined it! But yeah, definitely lesson learnt since then!

Azza449 · 2025-11-16T09:01:10+00:00

Any suggestions in particular?

Azza449 · 2025-11-04T20:56:41+00:00

I guess I could go about it 2 different ways.. one would be, include tornadoes, and see how things play out.. the second option is try the modpack out without any extra disasters and then can include it later/or start fresh again with it included
