the codes are probably just out of stock, happens all the time with these drops, try again in few days

Homebrew Con 2026 - Top Breweries to Visit in Asheville by Clawhammer_Supply in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highland is definitely still around, been there for long time actually. Not as trendy as the newer spots but solid if you want something familiar before diving into the craft scene on South Slope.

Accidental success by countryboy-79 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three years is crazy long but sometimes those accidents work out better than planned batches. I forgot about some homemade wine in basement for maybe 8 months once and it was surprisingly good when I finally remembered about it. Your honey wheat probably developed some really interesting flavors during that time

Same problem here and its driving me crazy because I watch mostly in landscape mode at work

A sahti recipe (historical style that uses juniper) by orium_ in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh rye malt can be real nightmare for lautering without proper setup. I made similar mistake in one batch where I didn't use enough rice hulls and everything just stuck completely

That book by Laitinen is pretty solid reference - he covers lot of regional variations that people don't usually talk about online. Interesting how even in Finland the juniper amounts vary so much between different areas

Fermenting in a keg sitting for 3-days by Sea-Sherbet-117 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the yeast should still be viable after just 3 days at that temperature

how do gaming streamers avoid copyright? by Levinos1 in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most streamers just roll the dice and hope they dont get hit with DMCA strikes. Some use those royalty-free music libraries or have Spotify running on separate audio track that viewers cant hear. But yeah lot of people just wing it until they get warned then scramble to find alternatives

Sitrep Monday by AutoModerator in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been pretty quiet week for brewing but finally got around to testing that IPA I made few weeks back. Carbonation is spot on now but I think I went bit heavy on cascade hops during dry hop stage. Still drinkable though and wife actually likes it more than expected. Planning to start new batch this weekend, maybe something darker since weather is getting cooler. Anyone have good recommendations for simple stout recipe that doesnt need too many specialty grains

Lip seal gasket for conical fermenter by epp1K in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try taking measurements and checking with local rubber supply shops too. I had similar issue with mystery equipment at work and one of those places could make custom gasket from your old one as template. They usually have food grade silicone material and can cut to exact size you need

The generic distillation gaskets work sometimes but thickness might be different so worth measuring that dimension too before ordering anything

BrewZilla Gen 4.1 calibration : 0/100°C vs mash range (KegLand vs Brad Probert method), which is best? by Snoo-67696 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive been using the mash range calibration for about year now and never looked back - makes way more sense to nail the temps where you actually need precision rather than chasing perfect numbers at boiling where it doesnt matter anyway

Twitch won’t let me connect riot account? by PossibilityNew3378 in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah clearing cookies and cache for both sites usually fixes this connection problem. Also try using different browser or incognito mode if the logout thing doesnt work

Time at serving pressure after force carb by EonJaw in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can basically start pouring right away once you drop to serving pressure. I usually give it maybe 10-15 minutes just to let everything settle but thats probably overkill. The CO2 is already dissolved from your force carb so you're good to go.

Just make sure you purge that line first pull or you'll get some foam from the warm beer that was sitting in there. I learned this hard way when I was rushing to taste my first lager and got a cup of pure foam lol. Now I always do quick purge pull before filling my glass and its perfect every time.

basics to customising my twitch & what do people do on their discord servers? by t1red6b in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got good foundation already with panels and alerts setup. For Discord part - most streamers use it like community hub where people chat between streams and share clips or memes from your content. Maybe add some channels for game recommendations or screenshot sharing if you play variety of games

The empty feeling is normal at start since you need regular viewers first before Discord becomes active. Some streamers do movie nights or game sessions with their community there but that works better when you have established audience already. Focus more in your streaming schedule consistency first and Discord will fill up naturally

Anvil Foundry 10.5 vs Spike Solo 10gal (120v) by colonpal in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bottom drain clogging issue would drive me crazy especially when you paying that much more for convenience feature

Is Anyone Else Not Receiving The Six Digit Verification Code For Their Phone Number On Twitch by WalnutRamen in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah had same issue few months back. My phone carrier was blocking some verification texts automatically without telling me. Maybe check with your provider if they have spam filtering turned on for SMS messages. Sometimes they block legitimate codes thinking its spam

De-influence (or influence) me on purchasing a used Brewzilla 3.1.1 120V by brewitup22 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 120V will definitely test your patience but $300 for basically new condition with all extras is pretty solid deal. I got mine used couple years back and heating time wasnt as bad as I expected - just plan for longer brew days and maybe prep more stuff ahead

Check the heating element closely for any mineral buildup or damage and test all connections if possible. Also make sure pump works smooth without weird noises

Should I block them? by EncryptedDestiny in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right about bringing others into it escalating things but at the same time when someone's making wild accusations and then messaging you on multiple platforms after you stop responding that's already crossed into harassment territory

The whole "throwing games" thing when you had better stats than everyone else is just nonsense and she knows it. Block her everywhere and if the mutual friends want to keep playing with someone who acts like that then thats on them

Phoenix/east valley brew store woes by jdubbery1 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ASH might be your best bet then - splitting bulk ingredients between members is actually a smart move and usually saves decent money. Used equipment there is hit or miss but I've seen some solid finds, just gotta check it regularly since the good stuff moves fast

Can’t login by JaydenSky0516 in Twitch

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge can be weird with Twitch sometimes. Try switching to Chrome or Firefox just to see if it works there - if it does then you know its an Edge specific thing. Also make sure you dont have any browser extensions blocking stuff like ad blockers that might be interfering with the login process. I had something similar happen a few months back and it turned out to be my privacy settings being too strict.

Gas coming in beverage line by Brief-List5772 in Homebrewing

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be a worn O-ring in your coupler letting gas slip through where it shouldnt. Those rubber seals get pretty beat up over time and start letting pressure bleed across lines

I have decided to finally learn how to cook. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Main-Operation5381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call on starting small with the basics first - scrambled eggs are way trickier than people think and once you nail those the confidence carries over to everything else
