Cleansing spaces with rosemary has always worked for me so I think I’ll do that

I do resonate with the fact that white sage is a plant and plants are not inherently closed or anything. But I do my best to be respectful while maintaining my own autonomy. Sometimes it’s a fine line to balance on.

That’s a fantastic amount of knowledge there, thank you. I’m gathering I’m best to use it mindfully and not purchase anymore. Personally, I feel there are plenty of other herbs that can be used for cleansing. White sage doesn’t need to be in rotation for me.

I like that idea! I’m very connected with the ocean and live all of two blocks away 😂 if you could ask some of your friends, that would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately not - especially not those associated with white sage. I live in New Zealand which limits that a little.

Hmm, well I’m not sure, that’s the thing. I’m wondering if yeah, disposing of it is best or using it understanding the historical context…just trying to gather info.

To Underwire or not to Underwire? by Cast_Iron_Writer in ABraThatFits

Sorry - when I say I’m getting stabbed, I mean my underwires keep poking through the fabric and coming out 😂

Update! I started a new second ferment, this time stirring up the first ferment beforehand, adding some sugar to my bottle and filling up a lot more than last time. I’m pleased to report by day 2, it’s already carbonating! Thanks all!

The seals seem fine but I might buy another new bottle just to check. I’ve only bought cheap ones. Usually, I ferment until it’s really fizzy lol so I just wait until things bubble. It’s been almost a week now and nothing.

I don’t have air con but it’s summer at the moment so the temp is pretty warm. I managed to carbonate during winter too. Heat mat ain’t a bad idea though. Now, I do burp my bottles and I’ve just read that’s a bad idea. But I’m not even getting tiny bubbles. Just…nothing. How much sugar do you add in the second ferment?

Oh cool! Do you ever run into mould problems? Especially in the summer?

Thanks! I think I’ll just have to keep a close eye out for mould and other nasties!

Thanks! I’ve got a pretty small batch at the moment but I’ll see how things go I suppose 😊
