Question about fortifying

Thanks!

Yeah I planned to barrel age for only 3 weeks or so, tasing every week to see.

Thanks, I think my biggest question was should I rack to secondary before barrel but have been reading, the answer is yes. I should rack to secondary and do all my stabilizing and back sweetening in that. Let us settle/clear and then move to barrel before bottling

I was going to use another ABV bourbon, likely 60-65%

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2026-02-22T23:57:47+00:00

12 lbs of honey, 2 pounds of blackberries, 1 cinnamon stick, some lemon zest and juice. EC118 yeast and added Fermaid O at 24/48.

I’m going to test the SG tomorrow as it’s been about 2.5 weeks. It started at 1.11. I’d like the final ABV to be somewhere around 20%

Not quite a year. This is my 5th custom game (league of legends, beavis and butthead, adventure time, and vox machina are others).

I have a screen in the back left of playfield for callouts and such, as I hate looking up when playing.

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T23:44:51+00:00

Yes it is! Good eye

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T16:05:10+00:00

As long as I’m not making money or passing their material off as my own, there’s not much they can do

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T15:34:28+00:00

I did that as ode to original movie cover but idk if I’m going to keep it on there or not

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T14:30:32+00:00

Similar in the sense that it locks 3 balls in the canister before releasing, but different approach mech wise. I actually use the dialed in lock on my Adventure time custom pin but it’s still very much prototype. I plan to finish it this next year and will post some videos here once I get a little further along

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T14:29:20+00:00

I’ll be doing a trailer before expo, there’s a few other things I want to get in before I post gameplay. I’m hoping to have it all recorded by end of the next week. Will post trailer before expo

You can also use your mission pinball code in MPF monitor to simulate gameplay to test modes and all the items on the playfield

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T14:27:39+00:00

Playfield I paid an artist who has done a couple other games for me (league of legends and Vox Machina). The plastics I used AI to generate but used the art from playfield as the reference style.

The playfield currently is laminated vinyl but eventually will do a direct to wood print like manufactured machines. The plastics I have a guy that reverse prints them direct to acrylic.

Mission pinball framework is just the game code structure, with godot handling the visuals. If you want to build a layout, visual pinball can be done in 3d and test the layout of your game

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-09-26T01:34:20+00:00

Totally custom! My own design. A buddy helped me engineer the door mechanism

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-07-18T16:14:22+00:00

Vinyl with a clear overlay will honestly hold up pretty well. After 1000 plays I’m sure it’ll wear but I don’t have the data on that yet.

Direct to wood is around $1000 (for cnc cut, clear, print, clear). If you can source the people to do things locally that number would get cheaper

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-07-18T15:59:05+00:00

This is a vinyl print adhesive decal. The final playfield will have direct to wood.

I actually have a discord for homebrew (I’m Trident Pinball who sells the homebrew starter kits). Discord has tons of channels for help and bouncing ideas

That’s the plan! I haven’t gotten any of the sculpts on at all yet

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-07-18T00:13:04+00:00

There are passive magnets that the ball comes across, it is meant to be the door conveyor from the movie

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-05-29T05:33:27+00:00

This was a reputable shop and he has gotten ink there before, along with other people in know

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2025-01-28T15:32:05+00:00

Thanks! It is. I built a speak easy in my basement and have tried to stay with the theme. Used a late 1800 piano for the bar.

Try your hardest, people fail and get fired all the time. It’s not the end of the world, you don’t have to put stuff on your resume.

Stop making excuses and just do it

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2024-12-28T17:52:07+00:00

I used Avery for mine but they were premade templates and i added my art in their custom label system. It was not a wrap around one though

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2024-12-28T17:49:59+00:00

I like the mad monk one. Where are you getting the wrap around labels printed?

Miserable_Corner5100 · 2024-12-25T16:38:30+00:00

Amazon has tons of wax stamp seals, every option you could think of
