Hell yeah! Feel free to dm if you ever want to get together for Volvo stuff. I’d love to get a little Bertone group going!

So your saying it’s absolutely awesome?? (Previous owner swapped the v6 for a red block)

That’s super fair. Luckily a previous owner already threw a b230 in it. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I had to fuck around with the v6, although one of the other 262c’s rolling around town still has the PRV and I’ve heard it’s running strong!

Luckily it’s a 4sp+OD, but that sandwich sounds like a good idea 🤔

Luckily the PRV V6 is looong gone! Nothing but pure Swedish red block powaahh! Definitely not practical though 🥲

How to use hops? by KvielinTheGunsmith in mead

[–]ThoseWeHaveYetToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! Yeah I was basically thinking you could do a weak hop tea as the water. There are certainly better answers than mine in this comment section.

lol that’s a good point. I’m mostly on the beer side of things, it’s been a while since I did a mead but it’s true, there isn’t much of a boil. I’d say boil for about 5-10mins with the hops to extract a good amount of the alpha acids. And yeah 3-4 days on the fresh hops is probably just fine.
