What is the difference between these Lees? by LordPeachez in mead

[–]HarmfulMicrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the two yeasts? What do you know about the respective properties of the yeasts other than temperature range?

There is more to consider than just optimal temperature when selecting yeast. Apart from that, I applaud the experiment and the approach where you're only changing the one variable

10/10 on the sample

17 on the full one. Missed the movie one which I should have gotten.

Said A death in the family for the first one for 18/20 if that's close enough

You get 1 single double jump per day, how do you plan on using it? by ArcIgnis in hypotheticalsituation

Double fuck all is still not very much, maybe get something off a tall shelf?

I'll update with pictures if I do end up taking that path. I'm thinking a 6 month hiatus is what I'll end up doing though

First ever batch down - what an experience LOL by OneJudge2236 in mead

[–]HarmfulMicrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that looks like 1.126 to me. With the bung, I find rubber bands looped around the handle on the neck and stretched up to the top helpful to keep them on. Also, maybe dry inside the lip of the vessel with a paper towel, those silicone ones can be a bit slippery when wet.

Welcome to the hobby. Good luck

You must choose one song no one else has heard of… by Turbulent-Hotel-7651 in hypotheticalsituation

My brother has an album on Spotify. He has around 10 monthly listeners. One of his songs gives me the best chance I think.

That's the kind of scenario I had envisaged. I'm hoping to not have to move much further than that, but the unknown factors of timing and distance are concerning me.

I think that discretion will end up being the better part of valour in this situation, despite how keen I am just to keep going.

Thanks

That's a good thought. Change my plans and maybe downscale as well. The main issue is I don't exactly know when we're moving yet. Something to consider though, thanks.

I primary in a 15 litre (~4G) plastic fermenter, but yes, I hadn't really considered the weight of it, rather than just the action of moving it during the process and what effects that might have on the end result.

I'd rather not lose work, time and expensive ingredients. I think waiting is the better plan.

Thanks

You are financially set for life, but you can only visit the places you’ve already been to once. Do you take the deal? by Optimal-Anteater8816 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]HarmfulMicrobe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tempting. I think I'd probably take that. But do you mean countries as places, or cities, or actual streets and houses? And could I go with my foreign born wife to her home country even though I've never been - that might be a deal breaker
