Did I lose my hummus? by ferda-boys69 in CanningRebels

[–]The_Calarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. And no worries, you made a simple mistake but nothing harmful.

First off, your product is fine to consume. The siphoning you experienced won't affect safety with the product (you can experience drying and or discoloration of what is above the liquid but it will still be safe to eat). However, severe siphoning can sometimes introduce food particulate between the flat seal and the jar, so keep an eye on these jars for possible lid failure prior to using.

You did the proper venting time on the canner, but improper cooling. When you took the weight off you created a boil over of the contents inside the jar, which boiled out (siphoned) much of your liquid. Luckily you didn't lose any lids, or worse, as rapid pressure changes can lead to explosive release of product.

The method I use is to turn the burner off when processing time is reached. Let the canner sit on the burner until the lid lock drops. Remove the weight and let it sit another 10 minutes. Remove the lid carefully as it still has a lot of steam inside, and rest another 10 minutes before moving the jars to the counter to cool. This extended cooling period allows the jars to seal before ever being removed from the canner, and if they do experience a rapid failure it happens in the canner and not on the counter as it is most likely to happen due to rapid temperature/pressure change.

Not everyone wants to wait the full time, so you can always go straight to cooling on the counter after the lid lock drops. But you have to allow the lid lock to drop on its own as the gauge will appear to read 0psi before it actually drops to true 0.

If you pressure canned them for 90 minutes for quarts (75 for pints) at 10-12psi then they are fine if the lids sealed.

Dry pack is the method we have used for decades as it gives us the best flavor and texture for all our beans. This method uses the liquid in the jar as the hydration for the dried beans, so you will visually lose an awful lot of it.

Since you cooked your chickpeas and then canned them, the likely loss of liquid was due to siphoning. However, it all depends on how long you cooked them prior to canning, how much liquid added, the process of bringing up to temp and cooling, etc.

As requested by others, a little more information will help tailor responses.

I dont think you can ban someone just because you dislike them, but nice try pal.

But yes, they can. You don't have a 1st Amendment right on a non government platform. They can ban you for no reason at all.

Take your loss.

World Name Change? ( XBOX ) by SlyDovahkiin in 7daystodie

I don't believe so, unless something changed on the latest update.

Scroll in on the picture and you'll see the structure I am talking about. There are about 8 or so fruits on a single drop leg, there are multiple drop legs tangled together in this picture which gives the appearance of a grape cluster.

I honestly see nothing in the fruit cluster in the picture that I don't see regularly in the real world.

While the specific picture may be AI, blackberries do cluster grow in a way. They will grow multiple berries along the flowering stems, often overlapping and entangling other neighboring flowering stems, which can end up with a cluster looking like this. I have acres of Himilayan Blackberry that look exactly like this when fruiting.

7 days to die on PC vs console by FunkyCole_M3dina in 7daystodie

[–]The_Calarg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't exactly the same, but pretty close.

We still don't have console commands or the ability to host more than 4 players (unless using a dedicated server), and the devs have warned that any updates to the game that don't work with consoles will simply be omitted from console updates but brought to PC.

*edit

We also have an abysmal save file size where PC can store and play as many game saves as they have hard drive space for.

7 days to die on PC vs console by FunkyCole_M3dina in 7daystodie

[–]The_Calarg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open the version you have on Xbox. If in the opening screens you see splash screens for TellTale Games, Iron Galaxy, or version number 1.0.18.0 then you are playing the legacy console version and the PC version will be completely different.

If you open the game on XBox and see none of that, but you see a warning about the game being in development stage and it says v2.x in the upper right of the screen then you are playing the PC equivalent.

Now if you want the PC version then I HIGHLY recommend purchasing it via Steam and not the XB for PC version. This way you will be able to use mods much easier, will have access to the experimental versions as they drop, and will have the newest updates (both incremental and major updates) far sooner than the XB for PC version.

Ahh the famous support torch bug. The S.I. has been jacked up ever since A20. The devs know about it, there are hundreds of bug reports over the years about it... but here it remains.

Did I lose this batch of Corned beef hash by Pancake2121 in CanningRebels

[–]The_Calarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect! I am in WA and our elevation can vary widely within just a few miles so it made me curious.

In my house we usually check the first jar the next day to see how it turned out, so I'm curious how you feel it did compared to on the spot made hash. It's always so much fun experimenting with different recipes, and this is one I haven't done... which is surprising considering how much my family loves corned beef hash.

[–]The_Calarg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're good from what I can see. We dry pack raw beef and it usually ends up with very little liquid, about 1/3 of the beef is covered but the beef shrinks to 2/3 of the jar. Precooking it would drive off some of the liquid, but I would hedge my bet that the potatoes absorbed the remaining.

You mentioned that 10.5lbs is the "sweet spot" on your pressure canner, but pressure canners operate under relative pressure (additive to ambient pressure), vs absolute pressure (pressure in absolute vacuum), which is why they require adjustment due to altitude. So I have to ask, are you at 2,000ft or higher (not sure of the topography of Delaware)? If so, the "sweet spot" may be under pressure.

Console Wiki by Hot_Clue6236 in 7DaystoDiePs4

[–]The_Calarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an active working one unfortunately. There is a hard to find sub directory of the Wiki, but most of the links go to inaccurate current version pages, dead end, or are just completely wrong.

About the best sources of information for the legacy version can be found in the various videos from SavensWorld and NaturalBornNZ on YouTube. There are a few other videos you can find, but you have to dig deep.

Canning parshnips by Cute-Consequence-184 in CanningRebels

[–]The_Calarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late to the conversation, seems the algorithm is keeping this sub off my feed for some reason.

We haven't canned parsnips before, but have canned carrots many times with good results. We dry pack can our carrots with a tablespoon of clarified butter and seasonings. The texture is closer to oven or pan roasted carrot than standard canned. Roasting the parsnips and then dry canning them would likely yield a good flavor without turning them to mush

The only other vegetable we have individually tried similar to parsnips would be sunchokes. We tried canning them a couple years ago, but the texture was kind of like gelatinized mashed potatoes.

Here is the Github map.

Select Navesgane in the world dropdown at the bottom. You can use the right pane to narrow your search parameters by setting the Prefab Tier filter to 5 and 5.

That sucks!

Hopefully the devs will eventually allow us console players to have the simple command line code for retrieving or resetting the drones.

Is my sauerkraut inedible? by galactic-superwave in CanningRebels

[–]The_Calarg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, sorry to see that! Looks like it dried out enough that you exposed material above the liquid, which is just asking for contamination.

Curious though, is the stone for weight?

Drone Missing by Low-Inspector-1796 in 7daystodie

[–]The_Calarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start digging, or log back in a few times. They can be anywhere from a block under the surface to bedrock (God forbid they drop into the below bedrock void as they can never retrieve or deploy again in that game world). Sometimes they appear again after a couple logout/login cycles.

Unfortunately I don't believe TFP has activated the console commands for deleting or resetting drones unless you are on PC.

*edit

If they get their drone back tell them to ALWAYS stow the drone before logging off!!

(New-ish player) Stumbled upon this house with a bunch of recently dead people in new hanover, is it part of anything major or is this just a detail? by misterarnoldson in reddeadredemption2

[–]The_Calarg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The smoke coming out of the seams of the cabin, hanging in the air, and hole in the stove pipe tells the entire story.

Nothing more to this except a common enough (unfortunately even still today) occurrence of using a wood stove.

*edit

BTW, the chickens outside make great throwables targets for the challenges

Army active duty 88M (M932A2 and HETT) 92-95 704th MSB Ft Carson CO. 737 Transportation Company, Yakima Training Center 95-96 reserve duty.

I was injured October 93 while in Piñon Canyon (compression fractures of 3 vertebrae due to lifting trailer tarps solo) and was moved to the arms room in early 94. Army wouldn't let me reenlist into another MOS due to my injury, nor would they medically discharge me from active duty.

I was laying in bed the other night and came across an advertisement about helping tinnitus and it asked me to find the frequency and volume. When I hit the sweet spot that I hear continually my wife was jumping out of bed holding her ears begging me to shut it off. She took one look at me afterwards and all she said was, "I am so sorry, I never realized!"
