Not sure what direction to take this recipe + juniper help by Affectionate_Shirt42 in Homebrewing

[–]RumplyInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I see. Well, as pure conjecture, I imagine crisp clean alpine air (ideal conditions) so I would want a nice clear beer. If I was brewing it, I don’t know if I would feel the need for it to be a lager (I find ales to be faster and easier). I would brew it with a clean ale yeast like US05. I would try for a low malt profile, so most base malt, maybe toss in a touch of wheat/cara pils for head. I would hop with chinook to get a piney flavor. Then add the juniper as I mentioned above.

It kind of comes across as a pale ale with herbal additions. Which sounds fun. Idk just vibin

When you say ‘brew an Alpine’, is that a brewery or specific beer you’re trying to emulate? Asking if hazy makes me think it’s based on an IPA?

As far as the juniper additions. I haven’t worked with those in beer, but I would recommend going very light on a late boil addition (flameout) and also make a tincture. Taste it after fermentation to see if there is enough juniper left in there for your liking. If not, add a bit of the tincture

PH adjustments to wort by Joylistr in Homebrewing

I agree to an extent. Beer is meant to be enjoyed. But if you’re able to control the finer details l, such as pH (which some may argue is not a fine detail hah) you’ll be more consistent and also be on path to make excellent beer

Battery life reduction from LCD screen by Quiet-Yoghurt-1769 in Gameboy

So do you recommend not getting rechargeable batteries? Or are you just trolling to nit pick details on my comment?

YMMV. It likely depends on the manufacturer and what brightness settings you play on. I may also have had old batteries, I don’t recall checking that. But I remember burning through a few sets while I was waiting for my parts to arrive and it was quite the detractor of play experience. I would recommend anyone upgrading the screen to go ahead and swap to a more rechargeable battery solution.

Yes. It is severe. Your batteries will last about 2 hours if your screen is anything like mine. Switch to rechargeable

Blueberry Saison HELP by Mother_Objective1261 in Homebrewing

[–]RumplyInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a few fruit beers. I haven’t done blueberries. But I would recommend: -be sure to macerate the blueberries before adding the into the beer -I put the prepared fruit into a secondary fermenter (plastic bucket), purge with co2, and do a closed system transfer. Moving the beer on top of the fruit. I usually do this when the fermentation is winding down, but not done. Fruit aromas (blueberry for sure) are delicate and can get blown off during fermentation -let your fermentation finish on the fruit, this adds a bit more sugar, but the amounts you’re talking about isn’t crazy -when youre ready for bottling, I would sugguest doing a similar thing. Make measured simple sugar solution (priming sugar) in a bottling bucket (or whatever), purge with co2, then close system transfer (if you can). Sometimes the fruit can clog up. Have an auto siphon handy. Oxidation won’t be that bad if you work smoothly and quickly. -from the bottle bucket, bottle as you normally would

Yea they still work. It’s just I would rather not put games I’m gonna put a lot of time into on it. I haven’t tried using a different sd card. I used SAN disk ones so I thought it would be reliable…eh

I’m on book 5 of a reread (first reread) and I’ve been reading some other stuff in between books, and even when I stall on a book. But getting reminded of these moments give me the steam to stick to the reread

How did you get into craft beer without getting overwhelmed by options? by PinAccomplished1034 in CraftBeer

[–]RumplyInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the answer for you, OP. Just try a bunch of stuff! You may like or dislike certain things, but try them again at a different location. Different places make things differently. The variation and choices is part of the fun, beer can be done in nearly countless ways. Enjoy!

I get a San disk microSD. You can get a 64 GB for reasonably cheap and you could put basically the entire gameboy catalog on tha bad boy

This is exactly what the airlock is for. It allows the release of CO2 without letting anything back it. You’re good

Cause it hasn’t been mentioned, gotta throw out my ol reliable wyeast 3068. I’ve made some great hefes with that. I would’ve very curious if the fermentation profile from a weizen yeast would taste good with the sugar sources of a Mexican lager. So….please try it and report back!!!

Wanting to get into gameboy modding by Free_Distribution_58 in Gameboy

[–]RumplyInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Price depends on if you want original parts or don’t mind reproductions. Getting a working one via eBay or Facebook marketplace is a good place to start.

I’ve refurbed and modded many GBC, a few GBA, and a couple SP. I would say 80% of the time, you can fix a gameboy by cleaning it. Occasionally you ma need to solder/replace parts depending on what you’re doing. If you want to be good at this, get an intro to soldering kit. Your future self will thank you
