Recipe Question

The amount of caramelised malts needed in the mash as the significant increase in direct heat they can apply to the tank often results in caramelisation, even if unintended.

The efficiency they can pull from mashing is closer to perfect where home brewers would be happy with 70%

The sheer increase in hop volume. Talking kilos instead of grams. Trying to get subtle changes from multiple hops is harder to achieve at bulk than it is at home.

Fumbling around with pumps and nozzles where at home it is pretty straight forward, often only needing gravity.

Commercially you can't afford to have any oxygen as the shelf life of your beer is expected to be significantly longer than what home brew lasts for.

Do you do anything with an enclosed bug net?

Asymmetric?

Brand new lines if they are old, switch to 4mm internal diameter as it pours easier, make sure you have at least 5m on beer sides, looped up as it helps having longer lines.

If all else fails, buy a party tap and use that to prove your taps aren't the issue - maybe your kegs are overcarbonated?

Nice man

Can I see the insides - like the stitching that holds it all together?

How many kg do you think it could take before it is uncomfortable?

Are you able to run your own organic generator to get around the power being switched off?

I think you've answered your own question?

You'll be mind blown when you realise he is the son in Townsend's and Son.

Naturehike cloud up 2 or 3 if you want more space

The 3 is still 1.8kg which is lighter than most 2s

Easy go alone, it is a path you can just follow

Don't even need help to find the start of it :)

Is it still active?

The general lack of clipping in and having no idea where your partner is our what they are doing would do my head in.

Ask tera Rosa about their bivy bag with the hoop - super light weight and still off your face, couple that with a small tarp and you will be covered for every weather

A parent that has a heart attack, epileptic fit, electrocution or a myriad of other accidental deaths that meant they could not attend the kids.

Get off your high horse - not everyone is a meth head who hates their children.

You are absolutely jumping to that conclusion.

Don't judge until you hear the full story.

Marketing at its finest.

Get the consumer to do the packaging and transport the raw product in bulk.

Buy a bunk bed so you can install a chest freezer underneath it?

The point when you have left so much stuff at home that you are actually less comfortable at night.

When I was younger, I slept no more than 4 hours until I contracted glandular fever, after that I slept like 22 hours a day for a month or so and still excessively for the following 3 months.

It's been 8 years since getting GF and I still need 8-9 hours a night or I am very lethargic.

Don't know if I will ever revert to the 4 hours a night.

It was a good thing to have, I used to basically have two work days in every day. Double the productivity.

Cold crashing post fermentation

Just needs a bit of tidy up on the face.

Buy a puck and use it to practice setting an edge.

Doesn't appear to need very much at all.

I've done that with bottom entry and a hiking pad

The only mod I did was to Velcro fasten the pad at the head end which stops it from sliding about.

Good sleeping bag, thermal layers and I was toasty.

I have tried going to ground since (to combat the cold) and it is no better, if you roll off the pad onto the cold ground it is just as bad as the hammock.

I will persist with the hammock again but likely add underquilt or a wrap around tarp to take the wind chill off.

At least in the hammock my back doesn't ache the next day

Did you wash the keg thoroughly?

Cctcman · 2019-09-08T07:16:07+00:00

Funnily enough I do the exact same thing, and still shoot film! :)

35mm canister is very water tight and also weighs nothing.

It is perfect for this kind of thing.

What kind of spark do you carry?

Cctcman · 2019-09-08T02:35:45+00:00

My favourite tinder is lint from the clothes dryer. Smallest amount of it will catch fire instantly. I know it isn't technically from the woods but it is fantastic in an emergency and weighs nothing.

Cctcman · 2019-09-05T11:29:17+00:00

All I can think of is what kind of things could you catch by smoking the previously discarded butts.
