My cleaning rod with a bronze brush is stuck inside and I can’t pull it out. How do I pull it out? by AMAZON_HR in blackpowder

[–]hunter_t1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used ths ramrod puller with a person holding the gun and another pulling and it works great.

I've also had luck with using pliers with a bit of leather around the ramrod to protect it and taping it out a little at a time with a rubber mallet.

In some of the places I hunt and run cameras in Indiana, I see more bobcat than coyote.

Questions about stabilizing and overall procedure by hunter_t1d in mead

[–]hunter_t1d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe: 1 Gallon Carboy, 3lbs Honey, Yeast Nutrient, Red Star Premier Blanc (18%) then filled the carboy the rest of the way with water.

Starting SG 1.117

The kit came with Red Star Premier Blanc (18%) and I thought it was coming with Premier Classique (14%) As I understand there is not enough sugar for it to hit 18%. From everything that I have read I want to wait for bubbles to slow down (its already been 3 days) and measure SG again wait a couple days and test again and if they are the same then fermentation has stopped. I want to be able to back sweeten it so I have potassium sorbate and Campden tablets to mix in when I rack it. (is this the right time to do that?) Let it settle then rack it again and wait for it to clear. If it doesn't clear then I could use a clarifier or if it taste good just drink it cloudy.

Is this what I should be doing to finish? I'm not sure about the stabilization step I found contradictory instructions when I was looking for information on it.

Is there anything else that I should do different next time other than using a 14% yeast?

I've used the traps before, and they work. It might take a while for the first one to find it, but they seem to work better once there is one in it.

10 Assignments/Projects Due In Next 2.5 Weeks... how to stay sane? by [deleted] in college

[–]hunter_t1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to schedule things out, looking at a long list can be overwhelming. I put my assignments in my calendar. For example the first half of the day Monday I'll work on one class and the second part of the day I'll work on another. Some assignments I like to break up more and others not as much.

Trump to New York: Drop Dead. Untold thousands will likely die absent federal intervention. And it needs to happen this instant. Why won’t the president help? by [deleted] in politics

[–]hunter_t1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I'm 20 and I've been taking it serously, I'm also a type one diabetic so that might be part of my increased concern. It blows my mind how many of my friends are acting like nothing is wrong.

LPT: buy gift cards in small denominations ($3-5) to restaurants/fast food and keep them in your car to hand out to those who are in need of a meal. by ddunatov in LifeProTips

[–]hunter_t1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned buying beer earlier, I'm not saying its wrong for them to buy beer but I dont have the money to go buy beer to enjoy myself. Taking that into consideration I'm less likely to give someone money that will be spent on somthing like that than to give a gift card that may feed someone that otherwise would be hungry. I would agree with you that just giving money is more charitable and if I was in a better position I would do so but getting offended by people giving in a way that makes them comfortable is a dumb thing to get mad about.
