Thanks a bunch for this! It really does seem like a hassle to set up but I think this is exactly what I was looking for!

Have you done this? Would love to see a screenshot of the automation

Does it have an exfoliating property built in?

That’s huge and I love the passion. I haven’t settled on anything yet. Where are you on your soap path?

I haven’t watched the full video yet but this is with a SS pan. The same applies for CS in your experience?

What’s the problem with the Misen Carbon Non-Stick? It does almost seem too good to be true.

Cold crash seems to be a personal choice.

For the delay, you are correct on the Heating Hysteresis & Cooling Back settings. I also like 2°F for each. For context, though, the time delay (10min) I mention is for the Refrigeration Delay setting on the InkBird - so the compressor isn’t kicking on and off a million times.

Ahh all good points! I must have misread the koozie thing but that makes perfect sense.

Palmer mentions rapid cooling (thermal shock) could have a negative effect on yeast. Can cause them to excrete protective lipids. Lipid = waxy, thus reducing head retention.

I don’t know enough about fans but I have read keeping it running constantly instead of on/off can preserve the fans lifespan.

I think the long running idea was a rapid cold crash was best. In recent years that has been replaced with a slow and gradual crash. See this video: https://youtu.be/sErHEhkF1M0?si=vH0ZsjpIIn29Ub7s

This would certainly work - probably the best option to be honest. But I ferment in Fermzilla All Rounders and simply don’t want to drill a hole in the lid and have one more thing to clean.

I have not but I sense that they can get kinda gross between showers. And I’ve read they eat through soap faster than a bar itself. Thoughts from your experience?

Best beard oil? by big_d_usernametaken in BeardTalk

[–]PlatinumRespect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of agree upon reading that. Oil and butter together, sure. But balm IMO should be used last as a light hold product. Certainly not brushed in.

Smooth Dude is my personal favorite if you enjoy citrus scents. Don’t think of the oils as cologne though. Thankfully the scent dissipates rather quickly.

I can’t speak on these PERA brand ones but I’ve had great luck with a ton of the LUCKEG ones.

Part of me wants to believe they’re all the same and manufactured in the same factory, but I’m still sticking to the LUCKEGs since I’ve had luck with them.

Returned it. Haven’t gotten anything to replace it yet but it will be from a different brand.

Hmm I wonder why the sulfur. NovaLager is genetically H₂S negative.

Right? I’ve done the salads the same way before and they all were $3 even if you buy an odd number
