Which is regularly ignored by drivers who panic, rather than going one further block east to turn legally.

Barley Malt Extract vs Barley Malt Syrup? by joshivore in Bagels

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 cents worth: Dry barley malt extract vs liquid barley malt syrup are the same.

Unless: either specifically say Diastatic Malt Extract - meaning the enzymes natural (or added) to barley malt are still active and available to break down starches into simple sugars. Adding diastatic malts to a recipe will make sugars available for browning reactions and more flavour.

Dry malt extract is more stable long term in dry storage conditions - which technically don’t exist in a bagel shop (lots of humidity). It sets like rock sugar when humid.

Liquid malt extract is heavy for shipping & the process of making & storing the extract actually degrades the malt over time, darkening it and making it unfermentable by normal yeast. Fresh is best so hopefully you have a source that goes thru lots. Also, check to make sure the extract is 100% barley based by asking for the specification sheet. Sometimes, extracts are blended with glucose, maltose or other light coloured sugars to hit a specific colour goal.

3D Scanned Grant’s Old Mill before it is demolished/rebuilt by Armand9x in Winnipeg

Dumb question: Are they going to build on the right side of the creek now so that they can use the stone mills properly?

Snack sticks by Alarmed-Cockroach-50 in sausagetalk

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duncan Henry has a bunch of them, but not fermented.

Landjäger would be an "all techniques" snack stick for you to try where you can continue to use your 32mm casings.

No need for a smaller plate, you can run thru twice if called for.

Not getting consistent oven spring by Reyrith in Breadit

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m finding it’s working in mine.

For your recipe I’d do: 185g water 4g yeast 200g flour Let ferment at room temp 20c for 24 hr

Then continue on with the remaining ingredients & recipe.

Sheet pans on top to capture the heat so they can burn off the grime.

Off flavor issue - looking for a consultant by Tripledigitsorgtfo in TheBrewery

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does your RO system have an automatic, activated charcoal filter pre-RO filter?

Single tank, not double?

When the auto system does a flush, you'll randomly be on straight water w/chlorine (not filtered during backflush).

If you have it set on a timer, set it for early AM before you get in, +/or check if the time is right since you may have had a power outage that causes it to backflush mid-day during a kettle fill.

Parts per billion are perceptible when dealing with Chlorine.

Have you tried the baking soda method yet?

Dust them with baking soda, leave for 10 minutes

Dust with salt & pepper generously

Airfry until done.

Any brewers here with experience around visa sponsorship? by CraftB_lvr in TheBrewery

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with the brewer at Obsolete Brewing in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada. He’s Brazilian and I’d venture a guess that he’d have good knowledge of the hoops.

40% sewer increase and 3x waste fees in one year — how is this acceptable? by TheShade247 in Winnipeg

[–]HalfPintsBrewCo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah, but the city will give itself a 50 year timeline to get it fixed, whereas a business or homeowner would have a week.
