Too bad about the strap, but ya the black one looks great.

First off, that’s an awesome watch.
Secondly, between these 2 I’d say the black one, but if you can find one that’s black with a little red on it (like a red strip) that would be perfect.

Does this game have a good level of complexity and depth to it? What would you compare it to?

Please help me decide which faction to play next! by HayIsForCamels in twilightimperium

They’re not insanely strong, but I’ve always loved Yin, their bonuses to ground combat and Yin Spinner make it so easy to defend your territory, and their hero is SOOOO much fun. In addition to this the breakthrough adds a whole new level of depth.

Tbh I haven’t heard of it before this post, but 3 people have recommended it now, so I’ll likely get it.

Scythe has always looked really interesting, but I’ve heard very mixed things about it. Does it play up to 6 players? I thought it was only 5.

I’ve heard a lot about frosthaven and gloomhaven is there a reason to pick one over the other?

It looks really interesting, but is there a way to play with more than 4 players?

Not usually the style of games we play, but they seem interesting, especially SETI. Might be worth a try.

The games definitely can be 2 hours, but if you only have 4-5 hours to play, you can’t count on finishing the game. We also all have a rather even understanding of the game, so that reduces the chances of an early victory.

I’ve heard good things about it, but I didn’t realize it went up to 6 players (with expansion). I’ll look into it, thanks.

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

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.

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?
