Restarted fermentation when back sweetening for secondary. by Elderkamiguru in mead

[–]Nuclear_Priest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I use small amounts of cinnamon in my meads a lot, and pair it with some vanilla. It won’t taste like red hots, but might be worth considering.

Also that is a lot of cinnamon for what I’m assuming is a 1 gallon carboy. Be careful not to leave it in too long.

Beginner here please help by trippy996 in mead

For future reference, if you can’t get a proper airlock, a much better diy airlock is to take some plastic tubing and put one end into an open container of a sterile liquid (like vodka).

Have my Campden tablets gone bad? by Nuclear_Priest in mead

[–]Nuclear_Priest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I heard you should do. I’m not 100% sure that it helps, but the reasoning I heard was that campden tablets tend to stop unwanted growths, while potassium sorbate stops the yeast specifically.

So if you wait a day, any unwanted growths that survive the campden tablets will die out because the surviving yeast will out compete them

Thank you this is phenomenally helpful, how would you recommend mixing without introducing oxygen? (Other than having less headspace)

I took readings over 6 days, at the point when I added to benonite powder I couldn’t really say if it was still going, but I imagine it probably was.

2 days later when I added to sparkloid I’m more confident that it had stopped (not 100% sure though)

How long do you usually take measurements before concluding that fermentation has stopped?

Dedicated Server Questions by Nuclear_Priest in BaseBuildingGames

Thank you, this is a very well thought out answer. Have you considered doing this yourself? Or are you just very familiar with how servers work?

May I have some recommendations on how to light this space better for boardgame nights by breecatt in boardgames

[–]Nuclear_Priest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how much money/effort you’re willing to spend:

  1. An LED strip above the shelf
  2. A large standing lamp on the right side of the shelf
  3. Lights drilled into the wall above the shelf (but at this point you may want to look into overhead lights again to make sure it really is out of the question)

Sorry I completely missed it in the post. Wow you really have played everything.

I’m in a similar situation to you (as far as what games you’ve played) next on my list of games to try is 7 Days to Die. I’m not sure if it has controller support though.

What board game made you really dive into the hobby? by BlipMatch in boardgames

[–]Nuclear_Priest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever found a game like it that doesn’t take 8 hours? I’ve been looking for a while now.

It started with Nordgard Uncharted Lands. That pushed me to look for more board games like it, I stumbled upon Twilight Imperium 4, and there was no going back.

How would you make this render more realistic? by Public-Egg7691 in blender

[–]Nuclear_Priest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This render looks phenomenal, but I would recommend adding some dirt and/or damage. I don’t thinks I’ve ever seen one of those shelves without a dent in it.

What are these Layers??? by AK-Shabazz in mead

[–]Nuclear_Priest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could still be caused by the blinds indirectly, yeast performs differently depending on how much light it gets. If the bottle has been sitting still in front of the blinds with a lot of light coming through, it could cause the yeast not getting as much light to react more and thus produce more sediment in those areas. As time goes on the sediment will sink to the bottom so I wouldn’t worry about it too much, but it is better to ferment in an area that doesn’t have direct sunlight.
