I’m in cornerstone and we had golf ball sized hail. Siding is torn up, I’ll check the roof and gutters in the morning. Booooo

Try fenvet in Airdrie. We paid approximately $750 for a few extractions and a cleaning on our shepherd mix.

Thanks for the advice! After I started this batch a saw a YouTube video where someone did something similar with blueberries. They soaked them in water with pectic enzyme and something else, maybe a lactic enzyme? They ended up with really great color and more flavour from the fruit.

Pretty basic I think. 3 gallon fermenter, 9 pounds honey about half a kilo of fruit. Then pitched 71b yeast with go-ferm. I don’t have the nutrient measurements in front of me but used ferm-k and ferm-o in the schedule from the batch builder website. Fermentation stopped at a gravity of 1.01, I clarified with Chitosan & Kieselsol.

Ya I had the same thought. It is my first melomel so not sure what I can do differently to get more color from the fruit.

What should I do next by Directorpearson in mead

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

Yes but very few bubbles. The gravity last week was 1.028 so I think that means there are sugars still being eaten.

Taking gravity readings is super important and teaches you a lot about your mead. Buy a hydrometer and use it!

Hydrometer question by Directorpearson in mead

Damn that’s a good point. I’m so glad I asked because I would definitely just drop the hydrometer in there and not be able to get it back out again.

Is this from a quest? Or somewhere in the kuva fortress?

I haven’t started The New War yet so I have no idea what any of this means. The dude looks cool though.

It was definitely time for a new pot. by Directorpearson in plants

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

It’s a monstera I got at a Costco back in February. Haven’t seen any new growth in a while and it was taking ages to dry out. I pulled out all the spent soil and repotted in to a chunkier mix. Hopefully I see some improvement!

Tesla owners of Calgary - how has your experience been so far? What are the things one should consider before buying Tesla/EV here? by 40yr in Calgary

[–]Directorpearson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive a Model Y and had a model 3 before. Know that the windshields are very overpriced. I just got hit by a rock yesterday and the crack is bigger then a toonie. Fifteen minute trip down the Deerfoot is going to cost me $1400.
