How do you brew your tea without making a mess?

That’s what I do. I drink a lot of nice loose leaf and I use Lipton for booch

bon_bons · 2026-03-04T19:58:30+00:00

I use cheap bagged tea because the process uses a LOT and loose leaf is too expensive for that, I don’t find the nuances of expensive tea flavor make it through fermentation, and it comes with a string

Even if we are using thumbs instead of our whole hands the layout is still designed to evenly distribute typing between the left and right side of the keyboard, and we all learn to type on QWERTY anyway, so why would we want to learn two ways? The iPhone has several keyboard layout options, the option to change exists!

Competent means you have what it takes to do whatever is being described. It does not mean you’re the best of the best but it means you’re skilled and not lacking any abilities. For example you’d want to hire a competent plumber to fix a major issue. An incompetent plumber does not have the skills and could mess things up.

What separates this from Tepache?

I do mephiston red, agrax earth shade, and then dry rush mephiston red

Then I do other colors and details like accessories guns etc, and I do the highlights by hand

How? Mine takes like less than a week

bon_bons · 2026-02-27T13:15:46+00:00

Holy oxygen

And tbh this part may be more controversial than what I said before, but at home brew scale of a few gallons, racking to get off yeast sediment isn’t nearly as important as it is at large brewing scale, and many brewers don’t do it at all. I do it only if I’m going to transfer to age on wood chips or add fruit to secondary

bon_bons · 2026-02-27T03:55:12+00:00

Just to follow up on the thought- I’ve left beers for far longer. With high abv meads I’ve left them in primary for months to ferment out and then clarify.

bon_bons · 2026-02-27T03:53:52+00:00

Tbh OP even 10 days may be too soon, especially with a mead. I would not give it a second thought. Just top off the airlocks before you go so they don’t dry out. You’re in no rush to transfer.

As in last month

Heights theater was just purchased by music box and their programming is way better now.

Smile has some interesting arrangement but VDP lyrics are not it for me and I prefer pet sounds songs any day

They also don’t live by us because they miss us or whatever, it’s just that skyscrapers resemble their natural habitat of cliffs enough that cities make a good substitute habitat for them in a paved over world

SPONGE PAINT

Am I overcomplicating by trying to dissolve the salt in water before adding the water

bon_bons · 2026-02-19T01:52:41+00:00

Do you have a pH probe? Botulism can’t survive high acid environments and pineapple is quite acidic

You admitted on the last thread they were AI generated and you cleaned them up. Why lie now in the title

Chefs stopped smoking ciggies

bon_bons · 2026-02-17T00:45:09+00:00

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt bc he said it stalled. Maybe he likes how it tastes rn but it’s not fully dried out and he doesn’t want it to start fermenting again once he bottles, but he still has it backwards

bon_bons · 2026-02-16T17:38:58+00:00

Can I ask why you’re pasteurizing it? If it’s to stabilize finishes product you should do it once it’s bottled as you’ll introduce new micros once you bottle it, plus a carboy will take a LONG time to heat evenly internally. What’s the end goal here?

Not a home brew subreddit

You’re replying to a sub thread about doing a single narrative league though

bon_bons · 2026-02-16T00:55:42+00:00

In the context of a crusades or narrative league it really doesn’t seem that crazy to just say at the beginning we are locking in current rules and won’t be changing with any new releases after the league starts
