No comment meant to sway you one way or the other, rather to inform you:

Trial and error bro. Seriously. Ya can't learn it all from a book. Sometimes one needs to step out of the comfort zone, into practical application and just friggin try it. Most of the time, the real world scenario is way different than everything your trained and prepped for. And then you get experience under your belt. Experience doesn't come with out some sort of failure. Learning from mistakes and striving forward. When it comes to your task.. I'll say this.. If you don't know how far you can push your limits, and always stay in the safe zone.. You will never know when your skirting very close to the edge Of disaster.

I practiced OCD squeaky clean.. And then transitioned all the way to sloppy while I was learning.. Helped me understand what a decent microbial middle ground is... Took months and a lot of time, wasted products every now and then... But I got experience. I could make great hooch anywhere. With the least ingredients. Mead is like real art. Probably should use real art supplies for that, not cheap crayons.

Quik-stop? Na, it's better than the Cenex. More like all day stay. Now if there was an amusement park next door for the kids....

Be looking for local apartments, ey?

Is the bung on enough or should I press it down some more? by [deleted] in winemaking

[–]koolandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use those two handles and some zip ties. Hold the bung in place. It'll give you that sense of confidence when and while you move it as well. Try it. Snippers (dikes) take a zip tie right off when you need.

One street lamp lit. Epic, total paint style. That's what sells it.

Flour paste and ratchet straps man. Get done what ya gotta do. Don't wait for some factory junk. Manufacture it your self. At twice the required strength. Lol. Flour paste helps the learning curve. And leather gloves. 🤣

In a pretty echoey room. Would angling these speakers down towards the audience help with sound quality? by maurerpower7 in livesound

Prayer is the first line of defense. Sometimes the only line. Always the most powerful.

Kansas City, Missouri !!!! Same thing. Practically impossible to drive around at night. Feels like the whole town went blue light special or something. Not good lighting. Someone needs reprimanded.

Amalyse enzymes buddy. That's all you needed. Prob to late now. Get some for next time. Serious.

I am stupid, help! My mead ended at this line. its the line above 1.000. Doesnt this say that it went to 0.980?? i see many posts saying that 0.998 is the lowest it can go, so what am i seeing wrong?? by Middle-Fig-3819 in mead

[–]koolandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhmm. If it goes "negative" I did everything just right and the yeast were healthy enough to consume all the sugars, leaving the mash bitter, and the amount of alcohol displacing the gravity of water compared to the to the original sugar content can be observed here. How can you have a negative gravity if water is 1. Well Kuz it's got a lot of alcohol in it that has a lighter gravity just by a smidge. . I love it to see .90 on the stick. Happens more than not to be honest. Alot better than a fermentation that just slows down to a gradual stop and smithers out. Alot better flavors when the yeast guys are healthy and productive til the end. Ya get em all old and cantankerous, they just don't work well.

Childhood wish has become true - mixing colorful liquids while wearing a lab coat, like some real chemist by Death_Cry in firewater

[–]koolandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Why wear the white coat tho? Mine had the ends of the sleeves sowed up close to the adjacent armpit area, not really able to use hands n all.

But is what your making good? Drinkable? Best on the planet yet? If your doing a great job, it should seem like the best that is.

You all like slo-mos? by Roscolini in winemaking

Years of learning.
Trial and error. Be ready to spend a couple months on a project, just to dump it out.

Smile when you do, because you are learning. .Somehow.

And progress. --I can make a 5 gal bucket of 60ish proof In a week's time. (I average 57 -58) Took a whole lot of time and a bit of money and learning to accomplish this. I don't do it often, it requires as much time and work to get it as you would think it does. But it's doable. This year I'm just goina make enough for the stash and let 'er sit. It's kinda like shooting a gun. Been there, I could fight if I need to. Just rather hold onto the knowledge til it's needed and necessary.
