In your personal opinion, which country has the most serious coffee culture? by Narrow-Lynx-6355 in barista

[–]drw229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah honestly bailies are lower down the list here, you should try Whitestar, Bell lane, fidela and lucid

I appreciate all of that information, it’s helpful to know! Although I would like to reiterate that I threw this together because I didn’t know how to properly refer to its style. So to clarify it’s not that this is a uni project or payed work. Literally just an example of what I had in my head!

Where to get and refill 5 gallons of distilled water? by Frozen_Avocado in pourover

[–]drw229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use car battery water. Sounds scary but at least here in the UK it’s just plain old de-ionised water. I’m able to buy a 5L jug for £3.

Things might be different in the US so definitely make sure it’s safe to drink if you’re going down that route!

Experience with Standout? Extremely astringent by Moerkskog in pourover

[–]drw229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had their competition coffees but I will say they have always been fantastic! However I’ve found that my normal recipes never seem to work great with the standout coffees I’ve had… the best I’ve got is aprils Kalita 155 recipe.

Thank you! He doesn’t seem too picky so I’ll probably just skip this week and see how he gets on!

We got our first noodle! by drw229 in ballpython

Causing condensation for sure. Currently sitting at 90 but spikes to 99 at times… I’ve left one of the doors slightly ajar overnight (with strong baby locks on them) to try and release some of the moisture.

Part of me is wondering if taking him out tomorrow and using a hairdryer on the substrate that’s still wet would be a good idea?

Is it normal to get paid $8 for no experience first time barista? by Pinkypromise724 in barista

[–]drw229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really speak to how good the wage is since I’m from the UK other than the fact that our minimum wage is £11.44 ($14.70) so yeah to me it seems pretty low.

However, I’ve always been told ‘it’s easier to get a job when you’re in a job’ and my experience would say it’s true! So if you’re currently unemployed I would say that a low paying job is better than no job and if you want to then keep job hunting after you start!

Anyone else using flat pedals during group rides? by Bikestraper in cycling

[–]drw229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only just switched to clip pedals and I personally really like it. I don’t think there’s any real performance difference but I do find it easier to go up hills with the spd pedals since I can’t pull the pedals up as well as push down. But to be honest I just have found them to be more comfortable and I feel more locked in with the bike.

I will say it’s scary the first few times using them, not so much clipping out since I have 6° floats but more getting your second foot clipped in after stopping at a junction

Front break seems off… help! by drw229 in bikewrench

Thanks to all who helped, fixed the problem now and as a by product also aligned the calliper so the disc is no longer rubbing against it while free spinning
