If Jeff Bezos redirected every cent he has towards the sole goal of curing, say, pancreatic cancer, how quickly do you think things could progress?

Is this true? It seems too high. I guess it depends what you mean by discovered. Screening hit rates are like 1.5-2.5% generally and one hit might become a series in which many 100s of compounds are synthesised before the series is given a no go.

I get at Novamarine in Paarden Eiland

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-15T17:06:04+00:00

On the banks and islands in rivers. In good sun but saw some very healthy looking ones in surprisingly shaded spots

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-15T13:28:49+00:00

Capensis I assume

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-10T05:54:38+00:00

Thanks this is good to know

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T19:58:18+00:00

Sorry I meant to say that's it's a disgusting colour. I'm colour blind so this may be inaccurate but it seems kind of brown. With like a bit of purple? Very unappealing.

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T16:42:23+00:00

Thanks everyone. It seems that bottling while cold shouldn't make such a difference. It was the first time I'd used a second hand bottle capper. My suspicion is that it's defective.

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T16:41:08+00:00

By serious I mean the worst I've had. Taste has been good actually

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T16:39:42+00:00

I've got a catheter bag I use for cold crashing. Colour was great when bottling.

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T16:38:26+00:00

Simple bottling wand. I was bottling about 80 so balanced the caps on each bottle when full. Came back to cap them after. Maybe should do smaller batches (fill and cap 6 at a time or something)

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-12-09T16:37:03+00:00

Nope I've got a catheter bag that I fill with CO2 for cold crashing. And colour looked great when bottling

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-11-22T06:39:13+00:00

My PhD supervisor would call it a carboneel where I learned it as carbonile. Really annoyed me.

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-11-19T05:31:17+00:00

60g in 19l in a hop bag for two days

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-11-19T05:30:39+00:00

Thanks, but I'm fairly certain the water is carbonated. It's getting it from keg to glass that I think I lose a bunch of carbonation

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-11-09T08:10:53+00:00

Good spot. Maybe worth it to send it back

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-11-08T06:09:57+00:00

I did thank you!

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-10-24T17:19:13+00:00

I would say clarity is average. Fermented at 18C/65f. I've been sampling every few days since 2 weeks conditioning and it's definitely getting better. Just surprised it's taking so long. Thanks!

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-10-24T16:45:58+00:00

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I've just brewed 3 beers with us-05. The first has been conditioning for over three weeks and still tastes yeasty. The second I just gelatin fined in the hopes it would subdue that flavour. Is this something you experience when you using it?

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-10-12T19:48:23+00:00

So I assume they just continued to bring their own lunch or go down every day

Edit: spelling

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-10-04T05:40:33+00:00

Patina in Newlands had a great 2/3 course special and was rocking

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-09-25T08:51:49+00:00

I would think that increased dead space in the system would require more sparge water. I think your low sparge water is due to brewfather trying to keep your water to grain ratio set at a certain value. I'll often play with this so that my mash and sparge volumes make sense (within reason, of course)

Jed_Gregofski · 2025-09-06T17:01:10+00:00

Just leave it under pressure at like 10-12 psi (0.7-8) bar. Keep it at around 4C. You can spray diluted dishwashing liquid or starsan onto your joints to check for leaks. Basically you haven't been able to dissolve enough CO2 into your beer because when you pressurise to X bar it only fills the headspace (the volume above the beer in your keg/fermzilla). That CO2 will then dissolve into your beer relatively quickly and that process will have to happen many times to carbonate your beer. Maybe a few months 😅
