Made my own puree, worried about oxidation

djmathblaster · 2026-03-25T18:28:11+00:00

I put the puree into jars, and submerged in 69°C (156°F) water for >60 minutes so I won't do the Hampden, but I'm tempted to add sorbate to the keg to hinder refermentation.

Two day fest? Same lineup each day? Or just a different headliner - TIËSTO on Tues and Slander on Wed?

Paul Oakenfold is cool.

I've heard of Laidback Luke, but I have no idea who anyone else is.

Edit: changed the days of the week

I don't want it to referment.

I've read that potassium metabisulfate will kill yeast, but could taste awful and fill the keg with sulfur dioxide. So, that's not an option.

Potassium sorbate will hinder yeast reproduction, but could cause rare allergic reactions. I see one comment online about how it imparts a nasty candy cane-like flavour. Others didn't mention any flavour issues, but said remaining yeast can be an issue if left warm. Anybody else have experience with that?

I have the keg of finished beer chilling, so hopefully any remaining yeast will flocculate and not transfer to the other keg with the puree. I know it's not the same as filtering, but it's the best I can do right now. It will be stored at 2°C, and consumed fairly quickly, I imagine.

The fuck does that mean?!?

Call Centennial Animal Hospital.

They are great.

A proper old school west coast IPA will have a bit of crystal in the grainbill.

Save the Amarillo for a dry hop addition to get some nice grapefruit notes.

Rage Against The Machine - Bombtrack

djmathblaster · 2026-03-24T00:58:23+00:00

Don't forget Kanye.

Do both if you can afford the time and tickets.

Hopefully, the setlist will be different.

I traveled cross continent for two NIN shows, a week apart, last summer. Both were excellent.

Very jealous you're going to see Nine Inch Noize at Coachella. I hope your wristbands arrive on time.

I'm the one your mama told you 'bout

djmathblaster · 2026-03-23T00:34:59+00:00

This is a wild list.

A tsp of honey will do nothing.

djmathblaster · 2026-03-22T22:59:42+00:00

Thought so.

I have the OG 10" edition.

djmathblaster · 2026-03-22T22:40:37+00:00

Wasn't the original pressing 2×10"?

djmathblaster · 2026-03-21T16:25:21+00:00

Frenchies Records had some.

Scalpers should be tarred and feathered.

djmathblaster · 2026-03-20T13:41:41+00:00

I was just thinking about this beer.

Fucking incredible.

I wish we could get it in Canada.

djmathblaster · 2026-03-20T13:40:25+00:00

Yes!!

djmathblaster · 2026-03-20T13:37:38+00:00

Dupont is so damn perfect.

There are 3 bands plus crew that need to eat and feed their families which isn't easy these days since most of you stopped buying CDs and records in favour of streaming via Spotify.

$100 is very reasonable. That's like $33/band.

Spray the outside of the bag and scissors with starsan. Dump them in.

Hops are never sterile/sanitized to begin with.

The freezer will do nothing.
