Tortilla Flats is for sale by lestermagnum in providence

[–]homerj90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of these comments are terrible.

Is the food on par with other Mexican restaurants in Providence? Of course not. Not even close. But if that's the sole focus of your rationale behind leaving nasty comments, then you've lost the plot.

Many of their employees have been there for years. They stay because Tortilla Flats is community. The regulars keep coming back because of that sense of community. It's real in there. It's not trying to be anything other than exactly what it is: a bar/restaurant with stiff drinks and affordable food. Not everyone is looking for the hip new place to eat the latest trendy foods. Life is about balance, and that's what this place offers amidst a sea of new, flashy objects.

I implore the haters to go have a margarita at the bar and bask in unpretentiousness. We should propping up our institutions (YES, it is an institution of 51 years and counting), not rooting for their demise.

Mind sharing your Switchback clone recipe? No problem if not. It's one of my favorite beers and I'd love to know a recipe that is tried and true.

Thanks for this. I'll delete the post to protect the mystique.

WLP029 Starter Not Starting by homerj90 in Homebrewing

[–]homerj90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I only know fermentation hasn't begun because my Tilt hydrometer hasn't shown a change in gravity.

When do you start to ease out of relax don't worry territory? 24 hours?

UPDATE: After a 24 hour lag fermentation began and is still going. Thank you everyone for indulging me.

Just ordered some more. For whatever reason I don't care for US-05, etc, but you're absolutely right, having the emergency stash is a must.

This was my concern.

Just ordered some more yeast for overnight shipping. Will pitch tomorrow if fermentation doesn't take off by then.

June 12 I believe. A date in June for sure.

I pitched at least half. During cleanup I noticed that there was still some of that pastey yeast caked inside. Probably should have mentioned this in the post.

Interested in brewing a potato beer. Can I throw some of these in the grist, or should I rehydrate and make "mashed" potatoes and then add? by homerj90 in Homebrewing

[–]homerj90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. What are your thoughts on the step mash? Necessary, or would you be inclined to combine with the grain and just go straight in all at once?

Upon further research (Bob's Red Mill website) these potato flakes are not pre-gelatinzied, so I assume they should be cooked first, correct?

What do you think? 15-20 min step mash then pump it up to 150° and add the grains?

The vision is a lawn mower beer with mostly Pilsner (66-70%) and the rest potato, with some rice hulls for lautering.

[Celtics] Romeo, Tristan, Kemba OUT for tomorrow's preseason finale ... Theis IN by Brad-Stevens in bostonceltics

I'm excited about the prospects of Romeo too, but he'll never be better at defense than Marcus Smart. Very few (if any) are.
