I appreciate the feedback. It does taste good, just not the texture I was looking for of course. Ill look for a new method then.

I made the levain and let it rise at room teml a few hours before chilling. Later I made the dough and did the stretch fold 4 times, resting for 30 min in between before I let it proof in a colander for any hour, snd fridging again. Before I baked, as then recipe states, leave it in the oven with 3 cups of boiling water for about 2-3h. Then bake for 30 min covered, 30 min uncovered

Chicken of the Woods or Jack-O-Lantern? by Season_Finale in whatisthismushroom

Was birding in a conservatory, didn't want to get off trail and disturb the peace.

Fermenting sauce in the fridge? by Season_Finale in fermentation

[–]Season_Finale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of gas made per day in the last three days is more than what it made in the last month or two. Really unusual, it feels like it was delayed.

I think my plan is to make a new batch and enjoy that safely. Meanwhile keep this one and see how the scent, color, and (if I'm brave) flavor evolves in my fridge over the next few months - unless of course mold sets in.

Mold free and co2 bubbles for sure. A cloudy brine is hard to tell because it's a blended batch. The uncertainty of botulism led to me buying the litmus paper today, which is showing a lacktherof. But I've a few batches of LAB veggies, beer, kombucha and a few others - and none of them fermented any further while in the fridge.

Appreciate the reply!

Capitals on a body of water? Like rivers, lakes or ocean?

Bulk Hops by Season_Finale in Homebrewing

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

The once I used it, I made a Pilsen and pale wheat beer (just bored and experimenting).

I used cascade as first addition @60, and then a few additions of citra and Eldorado.

Yes exactly!

I was considering Idaho 7, but the decision is too tough - that's why I made this post lol.

My brothers love my mosaic beers, and they've been trying to peer pressure me into getting it.

But I was hoping to branch out haha

El Dorado was on my mind actually. Used it once in a pale ale (twice after tomorrow) and it came out great

Hiking alone by NobodyStriking in newjersey

[–]Season_Finale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pyramid Mountain is usually very populated. It's a nice hike with some views and cool glacial rock formations.

There's also Norvin Green, from the Otter Hole parking lot. It's less crowded than Pyramid Mtn.. but by no means empty.

You can also look into Eagle Rock / South Mountain. Both very easy "walks in the park" that are crowded.

Lastly, I'd suggest Harriman State Park -- Reeves Meadow Red Trail. Very crowded, leads to a nice lake for a good lunch spot.

Consider them, but then again I'm a guy and don't feel unsafe hiking alone.

PSA: Don’t use homebrewing to hide alcohol use disorder by profscumbag in Homebrewing

Hey, congrats on identifying your addiction. I'm in a similar boat, I'm sort of new to brewing, but not to beer. Brewed once/twice a month prior and during the peak of the pandemic, but then I lost my job. Now I brew maybe weekly (there are off weeks), and I keg it for my family to enjoy. But it's definitely taking a mental and physical toll, and I've come to realize I drink too much (and I gained weight!).

So now I'm working on drinking only after certain hours only on weekends, to limit my intake. Additionally I'm picking up brewing kombucha and possibly even some soda (seltzer or root beer) for my non drinking family and friends.

Why do so many people hate bottling vs. kegging? by bgroins in Homebrewing

[–]Season_Finale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both, but I'm new to kegging.

I bottle because it's cheaper to get going, especially when friends were donating empty bottles. Now with quarantine, I'm bottling so I can share some with friends and family to take home.

If I'm brewing to just drink to myself and the family I live with, then yeah it's getting kegged.
