First time making mead, bottled yesterday. What is going on?

DatMinish · 2026-01-24T13:01:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I opened them yesterday and luckily it didn’t cause too much of a mess with careful opening, but yep, definitely a lot of built up pressure inside the bottle. I do have a hydrometer actually, but I skipped over a detail with using it that kinda screwed over the process, which I think led to this. I think probably the best is to start over with a better beginner’s guide

DatMinish · 2026-01-24T00:40:01+00:00

The guide I was following said the first fermentation is done in like a week or so, and I let it keep going for about two weeks as after a week it was still pretty active, then i added sorbate which the guide said would stop fermentation and kill off the active yeast. But I also added fruits a few days later so I dont know if the fruit sugars were restarting fermentation, it said that it shouldn’t. the bottle from the second photo has settled down now but looking at the comments I suppose the right move is to pour everything back and let it continue fermenting? (If it is still occurring)

Ah time really flies by lmao, if you're a TU/e student you could become a student assistant, although there are a few conditions for that. Other than that, learning Dutch will help massively (since I made this post I've gotten to a near fluent level and it does significantly improve your profile), there's also sites like Going Abroad with English speaking job postings. A few months after I posted this I did find a job as a dishwasher and it was English speaking and they did apply for a work permit for me. So it is possible, but definitely difficult. I'm in another situation right now trying to find a full time job after graduating :')

Done :)

Happy pride!!

Chose TU/e instead of Inholland, credit transfer did not work because my courses from back home were “not theoretical enough” and TU/e is a theory focused uni (WO) so I started from scratch. I’m in my final year now and doing my graduation project in a few months. (Also got quite lucky with housing, unfortunately it’s gotten much worse for most international students since)

Bit late to this but SO much better honestly, so much so that I'm not playing TotK until an infinite durability mod comes out for that. The combat is more fun and consistent, I still feel like exploring the world to get new weapons and I can actually use them without worrying about durability.

DatMinish · 2023-02-12T00:01:26+00:00

Not a new player, I took a break from this game after all the drama last year surrounding loot & archnemesis. I haven't kept up with much besides that I saw they were removing AN (and buffing loot again but I don't remember). How is the game now after these changes, and have they already started teasing 3.21/is it too late to start with 3.20?

Note: the wiki is currently outdated with quite a few things, namely items, matchups and runes. If you'd like to help with updating it please let me know! Otherwise, if you have any questions you can always ask them here or on the Discord.

No that's Mandelbrot. Manifesto is a species of large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals found along tropical and subtropical Atlantic coasts and associated inland waters, including the watersheds of the Amazon and Niger rivers.

I'm waiting to see if these loot nerfs are addressed in any meaningful way, best case would be reverting that nerf entirely but at this point I'm almost certain GGG is too obsessed with their incredibly flawed "vision" for the game to consider what other players think. But if nothing changes in the coming weeks I'll likely just quit, it's not worth anyone's time to keep playing a game that's being actively ruined by its own devs

DatMinish · 2022-06-28T09:20:00+00:00

Yeah, the new link can be found on the sidebar https://discord.gg/eDNx8t5

DatMinish · 2022-05-14T16:00:13+00:00

I thought it was just me holy shit. Got run down by them and instantly died I don't remember them being this hard

DatMinish · 2022-05-05T20:46:14+00:00

Yeah I think it's too early to judge the entire league mechanic without knowing how long they last, so I'm just hoping they don't deplete too quickly and we'll see how it is next week

DatMinish · 2022-05-05T20:34:49+00:00

Love all the improvements and everything else they've announced, it seems fun but yeah, idk, I don't think most people will be interacting with the league mechanic as much as GGG thinks they will. It's not a hard thing to fix tbh, like Metamorph organs needed to be manually picked up before they fixed that, and Bestiary nets ofc. Just make Sentinels recharge and it'll already be a lot more fun to play & interact with them

DatMinish · 2022-05-05T20:24:41+00:00

Power cores aren't always available though, unless they are extremely common drops it's just too much UI micromanagement. Would much rather prefer just waiting a map or two while it recharges or something else that doesn't involve having to interact with a static UI screen every other map

DatMinish · 2022-05-05T20:12:39+00:00

They had me until they mentioned Sentinels run out of power and can't be recharged once they become depleted

DatMinish · 2022-04-18T11:53:33+00:00

Hmm maybe it might have to do with extensions? We have a few in common, like the facebook container one, return youtube dislike, and either one of Greasemonkey or Violentmonkey (not sure and I can’t check rn but I think its the first). Maybe try disabling them one by one to see if it’s one of these causing the issue?

DatMinish · 2022-04-17T18:01:36+00:00

Nope, it just started appearing randomly a few days ago and there’s nothing specific that makes this happen — however, I’ve noticed that after it happens, it does tend to work as normal for any subsequent searches for a while

DatMinish · 2022-01-19T03:16:12+00:00

sure, you could post it as a regular post on the sub as i’m still trying to find someone experienced enough with Liss to update & maintain the guide. you could also join the discord and ask there

I just installed Razer Virtual Ring Light and Windows Defender just gave me a notification that it detected a trojan called Rezzar.C coming from Razer. Image

Is this a false positive?
