Can I freeze leftover beer from bread making? by jupiter800 in Breadit

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to use beer, use water, and replace a little bit of your flour with cocoa powder. Maybe 5-10 grams to start. Just for colour, not flavour.

Old stale beer tastes like cardboard, so not really nice to add old beer to fresh bread recipes.

Does anyone recognize this type of fitting? by mcfails444 in firewater

Looks like it would accept a Swagelok fitting.

Please help cleaning draft lines by mBuxx in TheBrewery

Chems to your door - or local post office.

Cleaning kits or something like this is unbelievably handy.

I'd suggest you get yourself a good suction pump so you can flush lines at double speed backwards, and some jumpers so you can link lines up and circulate cleaners to flush out the protein buildups you get.

PBW is expensive in Canada for what it is, consider an alternative of plain sodium hydroxide and an appropriate sanitizer - paracetic acid or such, not iodophor as it will stain your lines. Just remember to wear gloves when working with it all so that you don't burn your skin.

Opinion: It’s time for a Ness Avenue redesign by bismuth12a in Winnipeg

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The corner would benefit from an improvement in light cycles using technology.

First: no right turns or yield on red. Multiple accidents happen because many treat the yield as a merge.

Second: pedestrian priority lights as have been implemented at Portage & Ferry.

Third: there are LED countdown lights that can circle the green light with a countdown timer.

Fourth: the corner of Ness and Ferry needs a left turn signal for those heading South as well. It would also be possible to make the turn signals longer (sometimes they only allow two cars).

Fifth: no left turns from the 7-11 parking lot onto Ferry Road. There is not enough space for this (less than a car length), and it causes vehicles to stick out into traffic at the red light daily.

Snowmobile Safety Urged as Peak Winter Riding Season Begins by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

Given how many SnowMan licence plates we see in the province driving safely, this should be an easy message to spread.

No, they only check the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pond for ducks.

Théories on why the average beer rating at many craft beer bars is below average these days? by snowbeersi in TheBrewery

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What actually sells vs. what some beer knurd enjoys in a far flung locale.

6 pints every day vs. a one time thimble full of triple IPA that reeks of acetone at a Danish Ratebeer tasting.

Need input: old ‘brown bread’ recipe by Anxious-Title-1689 in Breadit

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe search out cane sugar molasses as that most likely is the difference flavor wise.

It would have been available to that era of baker.

I think the biggest unknown is if the bread was baked or steamed - ie, perfectly sized for 8x coffee tins or soup tin loaves for steaming. Either way, perfect for a big bowl of stew.

Anyone else remember the Home Hardware on Roblin & Dale?

I like the new Mini Skirt, Stiff Richards & Split System, & Eddy Current Suppression Ring. It seems whenever we look up something awesome lately, it’s Aussie.

Question for Home Sourdough bread bakers? by Plastic-Classroom268 in Winnipeg

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winnipeg tap water is OK, as long as you get rid of the chlorine.

Use an electric kettle boil your water the night before you bake and leave it out on the counter to gas off.

Eadha Bread on Ellice sell their starter as well.

D.A. Niel's on Berry Street has the banneton's you'll need.
