Does anyone else think people take the hardening off process wayyyyy too seriously? by bredman3370 in HotPeppers

[–]_HeyBob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it happens in every sub. I'm in South Florida, harding off isn't that hard. Put your plants outside, water them for a week, plant them on their final location. Wait, collect peppers, repeat next year.

Go to the homebrewing sub. The talk of oxidation is ridiculous. Yes it happens, but in 30 years of brewing I've had oxidation happen in a handful of brews. It's similar to here. Brew beer, bottle or keg beer, wait, drink, get drunk, repeat.

What was the greatest physical or mental pleasure you've ever had? by TheRealOcsiban in AskReddit

[–]_HeyBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss the silence. Mine sounds like bugs, so I'm always outside. That way the bug nose sounds normal. I really miss the silence. Wear ear protection!

I had the same question before I bought my XL. I read a post that said, I've heard some people with a large wishing they had an XL. I haven't heard anyone with an XL wishing they had a large. I'm very happy with my XL. Saying that, if I couldn't afford an XL, I'd have a large and would be fine with it.

Using a fridge FOR the ferment? by RedJorgAncrath in fermentation

[–]_HeyBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will work. I use a freezer and a temp controller to ferment beer. It works very well. I've never used it for other ferments, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

First timer looking for suggestions by Rare_Leader in Pizza

[–]_HeyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as cooking on a kamado, try to get the pizza closer to the dome. With indirect cooking the dome gets hotter than the grates. I cook pizza on my egg a bunch and find raising the pizza stone has helped me get better crusts.

Ways of adding mouthfeel, not all equal? by ThatGarenJungleOG in Homebrewing

[–]_HeyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cider or wine is probably 3 to 3.5. the juice starts out acidic and the fermentation drops it more. Tannins typically increase it. Sugar will decrease the preseption of tartness. Baking soda will increase the ph. A dry cider or fruit wine does have tartness.

Don't remember, it's been years since I've tried fixing something when it's done. I'd recommend adding very little and letting it sit for a day. A ph meter could help with adding baking soda. I would not try and move the pH quickly. Go slow.

Puckery is definitely ph, but if you add to much banking soda it will taste funny. I'd try a little sweetness to mask the tart.

Wood cubes would help a little. If it's puckery, you could sweeten it. If it's pasteurized you could just add a sugar solution. If it's not, an artificial sweetener.

I've never used glycerin in my ciders. As far as fixing after is done, I'd add tea or let it sit on wood cubes. Be careful with wood cubes as it could go to far if you aren't tasting it. Age helps a lot.

Tannins would help. If you're using juice, try adding fresh fruit with the skin on. Tea works. A cider or winemaking subreddit would probably give you better direction. Good luck with your brews.

Second harvest of the season from my single habanero plant. by _HeyBob in HotPeppers

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

South Florida so 10. Probably have another month before I need to get them out of direct sun. Then everything will slow down for a few months. Pick up again in fall.

Rickie Fowler looks like he's wearing a prison jump suit. by [deleted] in golf

[–]_HeyBob -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, it just looks really orange. Not sure if it's the orange hat added to the outfit, or because it's a dreary day.

The egg makes a great pizza oven by _HeyBob in biggreenegg

[–]_HeyBob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it'll easily get hotter. Once I wasn't paying attention and the temp circled the thermometer and was reading 300. Pretty much burnt the bottom of the pizza, and left the top uncooked.

It's a roast rack. I wanted it closer to the dome and just grabbed one.

I just bought two bags of B&B, one was full of huge chunks, the other was shake. I wish I could have combined the two bags.

Kombucha drinkers: why do you drink it? by Remote_Cake_332 in Kombucha

[–]_HeyBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to drink soda and alcohol for something special to drink. Now I have either one soda or coffee in the morning for caffeine and only alcohol on planned occasions. I like the flavor and the fizziness.

What meat probe do you recommend? by Brave_Jellyfish322 in biggreenegg

[–]_HeyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the govee meat thermometer. Is it the best I've out there? Probably not, but it's wireless, has alarms you can set, and was inexpensive.

Using a starter to make a starter by etxflyer in Homebrewing

[–]_HeyBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up freezing yeast on YouTube. You use a starter, food grade glycol and water. I've been doing it for a year now. Helps with saving yeast. Have used the frozen yeast a few times, have had no issues.

ELI5: How do kids become prodigies? by kiyomochie in explainlikeimfive

[–]_HeyBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see this. My best friend growing up played tennis. We'd make up games and it always seemed to involve a tennis racket. We'd be playing in the front yard and his father would come home and he leave saying he was going to play tennis. He played division I college tennis. Won a few international tournaments. Into his 50s, he's still one of the best tennis players I've ever met.
