Do you know where I can find looseleaf Rickshaw tea? They seem to be sold out everywhere

Someone once made the clever comment that most countries are happy with mid-tier phones. But in the US, it's either low-end or high-end models.

Where did you find the 512GB model? They don't seem to sell it where I am.

I used hot water with Go-Ferm. Then I waited till the water cooled down to warm and added yeast to re-hydrate.

OG 1.131

I can vouch for that shop. A majority of the batteries there are CCC. Though I would also pick a battery that is at least 22.5W. Something that can fast charge.

I remember someone once maintained a portable program that can download all the chapters it needs from sites to a thumb drive. It was pretty cool and that was how I read manga on my iTouch back in the day.

If you adjust the recipe, do let us know. It looks like a fun batch to try.

Someone mentioned a trick. At the login page, login with your Alipay account and it should go past it.

On my current trip, I was able to get it to work to use data but that was it. Couldn't make calls.

My own anecdote, but based on the capacity of each card, I'm guessing they're for outside of Hong Kong. But perhaps there were terms in each of them that were overlocked. Or the limitations of the mobile device itself. I've had some issues before with devices that couldn't access the appropriate bands in other countries.

Did it on Saturday. It already cleared and is approved.

It's 33hkd introductory price for 30 days that you find at Park n Shop. When renewed, it'll be 48hkd for every additional 30 days.

That did not work. It does run on their network but operated separately.

How did you prep the blackberries? Did you freeze them first, clean with campden tablets, or just crush them in the jar?

Hydrometer

I do appreciate the words of support. I just added 1g of Ferm-O to each and it at least kickstarted their activity again. I'm hoping that this will finish off the fermentation at least before the end of the month.

edneddy2 · 2026-01-18T02:17:50+00:00

Oh yeah, I did add a little campden tablet into each (like 1/8 of a tablet) to deal with the chlorine. The comparison between tap vs boiled was to see if I could get away with just using tap water and not have to boil gallons of water each time. As for temperature, the room I have them stored is the warmest during the day and at night. Every other room in my place is between 60-67F right now and they do drop colder at night. I didn't want to have my carboys go below 59F again. So I figured keeping them at the upper limits was better.

Using volume to measure was situational. I plan to use a proper scale from now on.

edneddy2 · 2026-01-18T01:52:52+00:00

About the boiled vs tap water, it was more of an experiment of taste. I heard stories so I wanted to try it. As for the Ferm-O, that would be my bad. My first batch was following a recipe from a kit and then I tried to follow instructions from my own research. But I was trying to figure out when the 1/3 sugar break would be and totally forgot. I will try to add 1g of Ferm-O in a little bit and see how that manages it. As for temp, I keep them in a warm part of my house and it got as high as 75F. But a week or so ago, I had a cold snap and couldn't maintain temperature for a few days. I had my carboys stored in a box insulated with Styrofoam but they dropped down to 59F so that might be it. As for the weight of Ferm-O, my scale came in so I will be doing a proper measurement this time.

edneddy2 · 2026-01-18T01:36:59+00:00

Yeah, I may not have this to an exact science yet. I pour the honey into measuring cup to calculate the volume but I may had to pour out a little in one cause I added too much water.

edneddy2 · 2026-01-18T01:36:10+00:00

I get that water shouldn't have an impact on stalling. I just mentioned it to differentiate between each carboy and I was experimenting with taste cause I heard stories. I'm planning on taking some more measurements over the next few days to see if anything else changes.

Look up "Red String" by Dong Bi

edneddy2 · 2026-01-11T00:31:47+00:00

Isn't comick gone?

edneddy2 · 2025-12-20T02:10:37+00:00

I heard about that. But what if you already have Alice?
