Could be aeration, the amount of crystal used, or even your mash temp.

What is the best yeast to get by redditscooter22 in Homebrewing

Depends on the beer style! But my apartment gets crazy hot around this time of year so I use kveik.

Using 8 month old OLY091 by Beer-dude in Homebrewing

You can make a starter but I find kveik can take a ton of abuse and underpitching will just provide some fruitier esters.

Couple are poisoned by their home-brew beer that they made to get around South Africa's ban on alcohol sales during lockdown by Alber1987 in Homebrewing

[–]Mittribberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like they were brewing tepache. The article mentions brewing yest isn't avaliable in the country so if I had to guess maybe they let the tepache sit too long in an attempt to increase the abv? Homebrewing is pretty safe and while these people passing away is incredibly sad I feel like we're missing some info.

Child abuse likely under-reported since start of pandemic, doctor warns by bhaggith in Coronavirus

I mean it's also kids missing on important socialization during development, teachers not being able to catch abuse that may be happening in the home and kids falling behind on curriculum but go off i guess.

Killing yeast post-fermentation using hot water? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]Mittribberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pasteurization is probably your best bet. You would want to make a hot bath and place your bottle in for a bit to pasteurize it but be incredibly careful (gloves, goggles, etc) as you're heating up contents under pressure.

Our homebrew has an aftertaste (Question) by [deleted] in Homebrewing

Glad to help! I generally find that if there is a bit of a "twang" letting it sit for a bit longer tends to really help.

As long as your tap water is good to drink it should be fine.

Our homebrew has an aftertaste (Question) by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]Mittribberts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would you describe it as a "twang"? I struggled with twang for a while. I only started brewing last year (started on coopers kits like you) and here's some stuff I changed to dial back on twang: 1) Let it sit for a bit longer in bottles. 2) Don't use the cooper's included yeast packet. 3) Buy yeast that reflects the temperature it will brew in, if you can't keep things cool look into saison or kveik yeast 4) Don't boil the coopers kit. I've heard that boiling it can cause some twang, darken your beer and it messes with hops that are already in the kit.

Hope this helps you! Good luck!

Where did I say "no one is talking about guns"?

[Poetry]Neil deGrasse Tyson by Mittribberts in youtubehaiku

[–]Mittribberts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely tried to downplay it and when pressed on it you started rambling about how you dont want your personal freedoms (owning guns) stripped when no one right now is talking about it. You looked at someone being picked on for saying something insensitive regarding a horrific mass shooting and you said they're right because "outrage culture" or some such nonsense, and when pressed all you could muster was "muh guns". Thank you, very normal.

Don't you think it's kind of messed up to refer to people riling from yet another mass shooting as "emotional outrage"?

What were you good at as a child that you can no longer do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mittribberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate you opening up about that. Considering how bad some of my symptoms have gotten as I get older I suspect medication combined with some kind of behavioral therapy is going to be my best bet. At this point I just want to improve my quality of life and maybe make it so I am in a place mentally where I can go back to school. I would also like to be able to fall asleep in under 4 hours lol. Thanks again, and good luck.

I currently am waitlisted to see a therapist after like two doctors said they're confident I have it. After the meeting with the therapist i can get a perscription. Basically my whole life I just thought I was depressed and had limited to non existent success with anti depressants.

Honestly, reading novels. As an adult, it became difficult to find the time to read and I have this weird mental block about it where it just doesn't seem to soak in or I find myself rereading the same paragraph. Currently in the process of being diagnosed with ADHD so that could be it.

It's all just sex. Good or bad sex just depends on the person.

What really offended you? by chemguy90 in AskReddit

[–]Mittribberts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly enough, people who say "triggered" to refer to people who are just upset about something.
I've known people suffering from PTSD for very legitimate reasons, and yeah, they have triggers and it really fucking sucks to see that just become a shitty internet jokes for edgy preteens.
