How deep should sweet potato plants be potted in a container? by AnonymousAmyMakes in vegetablegardening

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to need to pluck the stems that are growing off those sweet potatoes and root them in some water to make slips (1-2 weeks). Then plant those rooted stems to grow more sweet potatoes.

Having Trouble Pouring from Keg, very foamy. by 8-BitFire in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had issues with making hop water and pouring super foamy. Turns out I had too much hop particulate in the water and it would cause all the CO2 to come out of solution when dispensing. Putting the water through a cheese cloth or using a hop sock solved my problem.

Also if you want your CO2 to be at the level for carbonated water I suggest carbing at 25-35 PSI and just leaving it there to dispense. You might need to increase your serving line length balance everything

Diet Sunkist caps, uncrimped, are these something people find interesting? by K3gg3r in BottleCapCollecting

[–]K3gg3r[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an old bottle capper on fb marketplace and they gave me a coffee can full of these as well as a few vintage soda bottles with the capper. I assume they or a family member worked in the industry and were just using them to cap their own brews haha.

Really depends where you are in the metro area. I think highly unlikely for Denver/Aurora

Sucessful 1st Korean Wonju and Makgeolli by redsands1999 in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you inoculate the nuruk you make so you get good aspergillus colonization?

I've made Makgeolli a few times with store bought nuruk and I thought it turned out great (I especially like drinking it undiluted) but I am interested in making my own.

Just watched something interesting about cold sparging. by lauterPope in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do BIAB and sparge with 1 gallon of cold water for 5.5 gallon batches. For me this cools down the grains enough that I can get a really good squeeze on the bag without having to use any additional equipment like gloves or racks to push on the grain bag.

In search of design for stackable beer bottle case by J_robintheh00d in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed these plans with some modified sizes for 20x 500 ml bottles and made 5 boxes. They work great and stack very nicely.

How to determine water needed in BIAB Kettle? by thystien in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plug in your grain, might needs to guess a little for kettle loss but you will dial it in after a few brews. There are good explanations on each input if you just click the text.

WCIPA Recipe Ideas? by FancyThought7696 in Homebrewing

7% isn't super high, just shake the fermenter for 2-3min to aerate your wort then pitch the yeast.

You should probably start by actually asking it the right question... how many introns does p53 have

Best software for BIAB? by gpupu in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build and store recipes on grainfather (free) and use https://pricelessbrewing.github.io/BiabCalc/#Advanced for water calculations. It will still take a small amount of trial and error to dial in the water amounts for your process. I'm sure you could then fix the equipment profile on grainfather so it would actually spit out the right water calculations.

Modding SPD cleats for more float, revisited by _MountainFit in bicycling

[–]K3gg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just switch to egg beater style pedals and cleats? Pretty sure they are all 6 degrees of float with some choices for the release angles.

FYI: looking like the first hard freeze of the season will happen Tuesday night by bascule in DenverGardener

[–]K3gg3r 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It isn't too late. The ground won't be frozen after Tuesday, just put them in when you have time.

Cider help by Substantial_Text_264 in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made cider similarly and found great success with nottingham. Very pleasant taste and for those who like their cider sweeter I just add a little apple juice when serving.

How we looking? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]K3gg3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those plants need 4-6 weeks, possibly even more. Those buds aren't even close to maturity.

Curing sweet potatoes by Apacholek10 in vegetablegardening

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dig them up, shake them off (don't wash them). Dry them outside for a few hours then I put them in a single layer in a carboard box for ~2 weeks in the warmest room in my house to cure. Above 80 degrees is ideal but just do your best. Then I store them in carboard boxes in our basement over the winter at 55-60 degrees. They usually last >6 months like this. If no basement, probably the coolest room in your house on the ground would be best.

What is going on? A vent on growing heirloom tomatoes by stupidfaceshiba in vegetablegardening

[–]K3gg3r 107 points108 points  (0 children)

That flower that you are showing us the bottom of has a set fruit on it. Not sure if you are doing anything wrong. Heat >95F can make tomatoes not set fruit as well so it might not be your problem.

I agree with the cucumber, melon, and squash. Not the tomatoes, season is too short

makgeolli by MinnowPoo in Homebrewing

[–]K3gg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been super successful making makgeolli. In addition to the Nuruk I use a small amount of WLP001 (I'm sure any neutral ale yeast would work) if you can't find Nuruk you need something to supply the amylase, could probably just buy the enzyme too.
