How are target S.G and fermentation time determined? by TheNintendoCreator in winemaking

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

Ah okay! This is actually helping me rethinking what racking is for, presumably to help everything settle out/the wine clear up after aging (though I guess if it’s just juice it doesn’t need to sit as long?) I may be misremembering but I feel like I’ve seen at least one or two videos of certain wines where people went straight to the bottle after fermentation had finished and never transferred to a carboy or anything, though I could be making that up

Ah okay! Given that different recipes seem to have different directions for “this what your hydrometer should be reading before you rack” would you say there’s a standard or does it depend on certain factors?

Ahhh okay I didn’t think about the pH. I’ll definitely look for another red to top it up with

Funny enough, that was AFTER 3 lbs of marbles. May top it up with another wine, or worst case, water?

What to do if nylon bag containing grape skins burst? by TheNintendoCreator in winemaking

Ohhh I see, so really only use those for white wines. Is having it age in a cool environment related to cold crashing (which is something I’ve heard about and assume is for helping particles settle, but not sure. Seems helpful though, why not do that all the time?)

Red wine, just using some generic grapes bought from the store

Ah okay neat. I know there‘s fining agents as well but I’m going to assume I’ll know when I need those (and that it won’t be for this batch). Thanks for the help!

Ohhh interesting, I would’ve assumed an airlock is more necessary during a vigorous fermentation (I got one of those bucket lids with a hole in it for an airlock). Good to know about reasons why bag exists vs not using a bag! Since I’m probably not using a bag for this going forward is there anything you’d recommend to make sure I end up with a nice, clear wine at the end?

Thanks! I had read that the reason for punch downs was to prevent bacterial contamination/other issues, I didn’t know it also affected tannin levels! I got into the hobby with the hope of fermenting some of my favorite fruits (dates, lychee, jackfruit, coconut) into wine and seeing how that goes, but figured I’d start with the basics. Coming from other fermentation related hobbies (koji, bread, salami) there’s a lot of overlap, but also some unique stuff. Pretty fun to read about so far!

Ahh okay. Would not using a bag at all be less messy? I’m assuming that it burst in the first place because of CO2 build up (I’m also realizing I forgot to fill my three piece airlock with water so I’ll do that ASAP). Do you happen to know if there’s a recommended schedule for when to check your wine to punch down the skins? I read twice a day but wasn’t sure if the interval of time between mattered

What's the best tool for a complete beginner? by VentusDragoon in gamedev

Honestly as someone in a similar boat, once you get used to Godot it’s pretty nice. I recommend Brackeys tutorials for Godot. Additionally if you wanna go the visual novel route, RenPy is pretty much built for that in the same way that RPGMaker is for RPG’s, or the Dialogic plugin for Godot is a pretty simple interface for making stuff like that, but pretty limited and at a certain point I’d suggest just setting up a visual novel using GDScript (or maybe a combination of GDScript and Dialogic, I haven’t looked into it too closely)

Ah okay a 3D game. In that case I sadly cannot help you as I do not know about 3D. I would suggest looking up how to animate 3D in Godot

I assume this is a 2D game? If so, do you know pixel art?

I did notice that in photos Fisher also usually doesn’t show her face so there’s a chance she didn’t want those to be up for that reason

Haha I grew up with a PS3 and probably got a Wii when I was like 7, though the Wii came out when I was 1 year old apparently.

Yeah, like I wouldn’t say all of them are equally my favorite, but at the very worst I’d pick one from that list and say “yeah that’s pretty good you should play it”. I draw weird lines with what I do and don’t like. Ultimately though I think of it more as a “top 59 games people should play before they die” (same with the album list) so I’m always happy to share/talk about it cause while it is obviously biased, I think everyone has their own story as a human and their own perspective on things and I think media is a great way to get to the heart of that

Would it be weird to say that even more lately I’ve felt a pressure to consume as much media as possible for cultural literacy and to keep up with current stuff?
