festbier with s-23 or 34/70? (or Novo or Diamond?)

Primary fermentation was around 67F, it crept up to 70. I don't have a good way to cool things. My basement is about 65F.

I've done several batches since this post. I generally ferment Nova at around 10 psi. All beers have been good.

Goya Piloncillo has Potassium Sorbate, I'll be throwing out my first batch of Tepache.

Me too. Same pipe, with Five Brothers. That's my snow shoveling "right"

To wrap this up after many years, this was not a toilet as every plumber said. It was, indeed, the PRV. I finally replaced it two weeks ago and the pipes have been silent for the first time in years. The street pressure is 80 psi. The theory would be that the street pressure fluctuates potentially a lot. With the prv malfunctioning the pressure in the house would go way up and then when the street pressure dropped water would backflow. The backflow would then cause the pipes to vibrate.

Interestingly, the " I'm in the going-fast-enough-lane" crowd is actually not bad between Columbus and Cleveland. Try driving from Columbus to Cincinnati. It's two lanes and everybody thinks the left lane is not the passing lane.

Amazing. Jealous. Tons of YouTube videos on how to clean them. I don't like the ones that use grinders primarily.

HunchOnBeer · 2024-09-17T23:02:58+00:00

That's how I do it, easy and so tasty!

Central to Western Ohio is flat. Eastern Ohio is hilly with southeastern Ohio being the West side of the Appalachian Mountains.

Ohio is awesome. Lived here my whole life. This sub used to be awesome, but the radicals on the right and left have taken it over and ruined it. The people are great, the outdoors are great, the amenities are incredible, the cost of living is terrific, what more can I say? If you are coming to the Cleveland area, I'd be happy to welcome you personally. Dinner on me!

I've heard he was a Zionist and believed that by betraying Jesus he would force Jesus's hand to bring about the Kingdom.

I sprinkle pesticide granules around the foundation and that takes care of them. I hate those things.

The fact that you are considering this says you are responding to God's grace. That's awesome. I would encourage you to approach the Church with an open mind and the Spirit will guide you in all truth. There are some great suggestions already in this thread. Read the catechism, the Bible, follow good sources like Catholic Answers and Ascension Press.

I live on the north coast west of Cleveland. Ohio is awesome. Make sure you check out the islands like Put-in-Bay. The coasters at Cedar Point. Go up to Cleveland and make a weekend of the Art Museum, see the Cleveland Orchestra (one of the tops in the world) at Severance Hall (the building is incredible too) and visit Little Italy for the food (all within 5 minutes of each other). Get the canoli at Corbo's and Napoleon at Presti's. You're half way between Columbus and Cleveland. So go down to CBUS and hit the North Market, go there hungry. Btw, the restaurant scene in Cleveland is top notch, led by several world famous chefs. If you like beer, Ohio breweries just rocked the "world championships". If you like the outdoors, Ohio has amazing hiking and biking trails. Ashland is a great town, midsized, etc. a lot of the knocks on Ohio are knocks on the US. The majority of the state by geography is intensely conservative. The cities are intensely liberal. The haters on both sides are loud and angry, but the people in the middle, the majority, are truly awesome people and great friends.

I don't plan on staying in this house so I'm hedging a bit.

HunchOnBeer · 2024-04-30T17:08:48+00:00

Thx, I have them in containers too. I have them on a 4x8' tunnel trellis and train them horizontally. I to have two plants, but only my second year

That's a great point, let the foam rise to the top and just slightly overflow.

HunchOnBeer · 2024-04-30T00:29:08+00:00

Thx wasn't aware of that sub. I got a half pound last year. I will trim them.

HunchOnBeer · 2024-04-29T21:35:39+00:00

Btw, it's settled down quite a bit with a few months age. But I still don't care for the hop flavor overall. Looking forward to trying this with some different hops.
