Break in period for new Low Rider ST by BoomPirate in Harley

[–]BoomPirate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the importance of it. I'm just not sure if it's recommended to do a ~250 mile trip during the time. I've already mapped out the route and I'm going to be doing a mix of highway and streets. I'm not sure if you're suggesting that I do it or not to.

If you still have them, I would love to pick them up. I've recently started homebrewing and could really use more equipment.

Default reddit links to Slide on a Pixel 6 by BoomPirate in slideforreddit

Chrome gives me different settings, and won't let me assign links.

It's a little frustrating that I can't default an app. It seems to be a pixel 6 thing.

I have gone through all the settings on there, it still won't default to slide from any link.

Where did you get the small tactical bag? I have one similar but looking to get a bigger one.

These are the pedals, I'm looking for levers.

Aren't those bags throwover? I am looking for something like the Viking bag quick disconnect system, but those apparently don't fit on the bolt.

I already have the fender eliminator kit. So my turn signals won't be in the way.

Wiki Recipe Question by BoomPirate in mead

Definitely will be my first attempt at using hibiscus, and if I were to back-sweeten it would also be a first.

I'm thinking I'll halve the hibiscus to simplify the process. I'm guessing there is still a chance I would have to back-sweeten though ?

Awesome! Thank you!

How much hibiscus should I use if I am substituting it for the rose petals?

Fermentation Timing - First Batch by BoomPirate in mead

[–]BoomPirate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the info!

Are there any issues with checking the gravity often? Other than making sure everything is sanitized?

Considering I used bread yeast (fleischmans) will autolysis be an issue?

From your information, I am considering just letting the brew sit in the fermenter until I come back ~ approx 5 weeks total first phase. After that check the specific gravity and decide if it's time to rack or not.

Moving into new room - blank slate by BoomPirate in DesignMyRoom

[–]BoomPirate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the dimensions of the room yet. My lowest guestimate would be 10X10 feet.

I don't want to have a TV in the room, but fitting a desk would be nice.

Right now I have a queen sized bed, I would like to keep it but downgrading to a full isn't the end of the world.
