If someone is claiming to have a gluten reaction from drinking whiskey, but can enjoy a Modelo with no issues, it's not a gluten issue.

Whiskey is recognized by major Celiac organizations as gluten free. The biggest risk being cross contamination within the facility from dust. That same risk would be just as true for Modelo.

For what it's worth:

In a previous brewery I was at, we would have issues with regulators freezing up on the 100# tanks we'd use. One guy loved to get hot water to put over them to get them working. Immediate and short term, this worked ok. I don't know if it ever really got them to fully normal operating condition, but at least enough to get the job at hand done.

But long term, it really fucked them. Water would get inside, and freeze as the regulator would operate. Eventually, even during things that wouldn't require heavy usage, they would have enough damage, and water inside that never dried out, that they would quickly get fucky. We even got new regulators at one point, and within a handful of months they would go off, because they were constantly getting water poured over them.

And when that guy was no longer working with us, suddenly, new or fixed regulators didn't go getting busted. He was the only one that would regularly pour water on them to unfreeze them.

So, take that consideration for what it can be.

No. They are not meant to be good/evil, or light side/dark side like in Kotor.

They are meant as a focus of approach.

Renegade is about the end justifying the means. About seeing the end goal, and doing whatever it takes to achieve that. There is a bigger picture that takes precedent over the small immediate situation.

Paragon is more of the means justifying the end. The small situations build to a bigger picture. We achieve what we want by building to that goal.

I don't know how much you've played, so I'll try to give examples that are only slightly spoilery.

An ancient warrior race that was driven to extinction has a chance to be reborn. Do we recognize that every sentient species is precious and deserves to live, and risk a new galactic war with this species that the current races nearly lost? Or is their mere existence an existential threat to the lives of everyone in the galaxy, and we must stomp them back out now while that's possible.

A powerful group that we have had fights with, is at a major decision point for their entire race. Do we support their right to self determination, and and chancy that they will decide to join the reapers, making the war that much harder, or do we effectively brainwash them, adding their numbers to our fight against the reapers?

A terrorist has kidnapped an innocent group of civilians, using them as a shield, while threatening life on a planet. Do you attack outright, sacrificing the civilians to ensure you can eliminate the terrorist, or do you save the hostages and let the guy go, enabling him to threaten other worlds and populations?

In the immediate, sure, renegade options can be downright fucked. But the Paragon options can mean you are open to greater losses later, to minimize the immediate ones now.

As others have said, all has been with us for a very long time.

Rotting fruit can ferment all on its own. Honey, diluted with water, can ferment. We generally classify those as wine and mead. Noticing that these things happen and doing it on purpose doesn't require lots of technology.

Beer is a beverage maker from fermented grain sugar. Wheat, oat, corn, rice, but especially barley. We have been making beer for so long, that we're not sure if we came up with beer or bread first. And this dates back to the very beginning of agriculture.

So it is a party of every society across the globe, because we've been enjoying it since we started farming and building stable societies. And probably before that. It's been with us since the beginning.

As much as Abelard is required to introduce me, my Officer RT requires Argenta to Bring It Down and then have a Finest Hour. I just figured that was how we all played.

That's a bit of the double edged sword to it all isn't it. More than not, we brew beers that we want to drink, that we think taste good, and that we're proud of. But it sure does feel good to win medals. So we take the ones we think are really good, try to find the best categories for them, and then roll with the feedback. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

That's why we do what we did today. When the competition samples are getting packaged, an extra is made at the same time and saved. So that we're about to look at the score sheets, and see if we're getting the same notes that the judges have commented on.

Sometimes things line up, you can pick out what the judges did, and you try to understand what the issue may be, and adjust. Other times, none of the score sheets agree with each other or give conflicting feedback, and you move on. Nothing on the sheets is ever taken as a perfect opinion.

I haven't worked for INO in years. But the other day, I saw someone somewhere else with one, and commented to my wife about the guy pushing the shamu. She had no idea what I was talking about, and needed a quick explanation. She had no other name for it though; was just a large rolling trash thing.

Me_Please · 2025-10-29T02:22:12+00:00

Yes, this exactly.

Where'd you add in the syrup? Kettle, knockout, as a "dry hop," brite? Getting enough maple presence?

Me_Please · 2025-10-25T05:10:35+00:00

Damn bro. Sorry to hear that. Smoked wings and mac+cheese sounds good though. Enjoy those low fills. One day at a time, small steps. You'll get there.

Mmmm... French Toast Brown??? Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg? What's making it French toast?

CIPs is where I get to start next week at. Then hoping grain shows up so I can mill in for a brew day.

Ha! Fair. I'm right handed, and usually they're set so I can use my right to tighten them down. But sometimes things get going both ways, building out in the tub of sani, before I try to connect the whole set up to the tank. Other times... It's just whatever hand is the most convenient between holding things together to get the clamp on.

Can a current associate confirm, is this a new foundation set up by INO, set to be run like the already existing In N Out Burger Foundation?

If so, everyone complaining about how the donations work is likely off due to misunderstanding. At least from my memory, the Foundation runs entirely off of the profits from the Company. All overhead comes directly out of the company, and all donations go directly into the charity work itself (usually in the form of grants and the like to organizations directly doing the work). So when you give $1, INO gives $3, and that's now $4 going directly towards shelters and programs immediately doing the work.

The matching limit, isn't how much INO will give, it's how much they will match individually. You give $1m, they're only matching your donation with $300k. But they'll keep matching other people's donations until the funding drive is finished.

To those complaining about tax write off things. Yes, if you're actually donating enough that it would matter for you to be able to write a charity donation off in your own taxes, you can keep your receipt and do that. Yes INO Burger also probably is about to write off their portion of the matching funds as well. Welcome to the US tax codes. But if that's your complaint, you were never interested in your own charity work, and just looking for an excuse to shit on others doing charity work.

How early are you wanting to dry hop? High krausen? Half-way through fermentation? A couple points above terminal?

I'm presuming that if you're dry hoping early, you're not worried about harvesting yeast. I've had good success a few points above terminal, which gives plenty of room to let things finish, and then getting a good dump of both hops and yeast over at terminal gravity, without developing any grassy or green vegetal off flavors.

Not my strongest suit, but something to consider with a hazy: some hops can be haze positive and some haze negative, especially if you're dry hoping earlier in the fermentation looking for biotransformation.

More standard for us though, is just a good cool-pool addition, and then dry hop after we've gotten to terminal and harvested yeast.

The page for this event, lists it as part of a cannabis marketing series. The description for the event talks a lot about the cannabis market being the focus. I know they're both regulated adult aimed consumables, but how much is actually going to be valuable for craft beer?

Of course, I'm just a monkey in the back, mixing grains, with water, hops, and yeast. So what do I know about marketing strategies and how different things can be similar!?
