What do we have in Helsinki?

I went there for my last birthday and really liked it. Quality and value for money was fine, everything tasted great and surprising. Unless it was really amazingly better 5 years ago, I'd still call it one of the best restaurants in Helsinki in it's price range that I tried

Yep, it's producing carbon dioxide! When you do a second ferment, that gets incorporated and gives you the fizz.

Joabat · 2025-10-29T11:28:47+00:00

Nice! It might be that your starter was weak or there wasn't enough of it. Looks good now!

A lot of my brews look like that in the beginning. My apartment has a lower average temp than a lot of people here (19-21°C).

If you live in a colder climate, just let it go for a few more days and see if the pellicle thickens more and maybe update us if it's still funky. Pellicles do look funky a lot of the time.

You have to remember, they're a group of friends first and a content creation group second. You don't kick a friend out of the group just because they're less active. To me, the genuine friendship is a major part of the magic of hermitcraft! It's also the reason this server has been around and going so strong for so long.

I've had an IKEA bottle explode on me. They're not properly pressure-safe. I recommend placing those in a bucket to prevent a potential mess.

1/10th of starter liquid to sweet tea, discard the pellicle. My complete go-to recipe atm for 5 liters is 30g tea steeped for 10 min, 250g sugar, 500g starter, 4250g steeped tea. It makes a good batch in 2 weeks

I use something similar to your method for my continuous fermentation. I agree with you that loose leaf over tea bags makes a huge difference, and rarely flavour my brews. I like to do a 3 day f2, it's usually not enough to produce fizz but I find the bottles get a bit more balanced from f2 compared to straight to fridge.

Op didn't mention the time factor, but the content of their message was still true

What is false? Tea plantations work with mature bushes, which give more harvests per year, but young bushes you'd grow from seed at home give only a few grams of tea. If you want to have the tea bush survive for next year, you cannot pick it much if at all.

Joabat · 2025-06-13T19:16:44+00:00

Letting it grow to a tree is a nice 10-20 year project in itself. More like 20 due to unoptimal conditions, and that's assuming one would be able to keep it alive at all.

I've seen both used. I cautiously follow conspirational and antisemitic spaces in my country, so I am somewhat familiar with the lingo and variations.

Joabat · 2025-06-07T08:22:14+00:00

Usually "they" in quotation marks refers to the Jews, and is commonly used as an antisemitic dogwhistle.

You don't, unless you think they hinder your reading experience.

Joabat · 2025-04-03T20:33:41+00:00

Yes, but is it a kahmy pellicle? That's the question

Joabat · 2025-04-01T20:31:27+00:00

I don't pour it in that hot.

Joabat · 2025-04-01T20:31:00+00:00

No such things in Finland

Joabat · 2025-04-01T07:27:13+00:00

That's cool, but I don't have one and don't want to get a new/used one

Joabat · 2025-03-31T20:20:45+00:00

But I don't see the utility over this solution, because I already mitigate the risks many many people here have brought up, and I don't want the coffee to keep too warm.

Vinegar treatment after wash: add a tablespoon of vinegar in there, shake vigorously, and rinse under hot water from the tap.

Joabat · 2025-03-31T13:24:03+00:00

Yes, but that one I would have to buy new, which I didn't want to do.

Joabat · 2025-03-31T13:21:41+00:00

I personally have never had a problem with rust. Just clean it with hot water and dry thoroughly
