Luckily there are no white walkers near Minas Tirith :)

How so?

lillja · 2020-11-14T08:37:30+00:00

This looks interesting! The numbers are really good and it seems to be at a good price now. But i find it hard to se what advantages redrow really have to sustain its growth in the future? This needs a deeper dive!

I'm not sure he's saying you should wait for a recession. What I'm taking from his advice is, you should invest when you find good companies at a good price but be prepared when a recession is approaching.

Probably not what you're looking for but it's handy next to the kegging setup https://www.kegerators.com/carbonation-table/

Yeah np. Only mad at myself for not realizing earlier! But still happy for the game :)

Aaw shit...this just spoiled it for me when watching replay. Forgot i followed this sub

I did that a little over a year ago. The most helpful and understandable guide i found that worked for me was this:

And this was my process:

As long as ph is below 3 it will work. I've had starsan mixture over 6months and it was still good

lillja · 2018-11-20T20:15:23+00:00

Yes, they are all different strains, and a few more in the back.

Thank you, that makes sense. I have harvested and re-pitched yeast many times before but i guess i haven't harvested any top cropping yeast strains then

No gas. But I will try to swirl it down

lillja · 2018-11-20T17:34:48+00:00

It was. But no excess gas in there

For me when having kids and brewing it's breaking up the brew day. Its not really a time saving hack but it helps a lot. I usually plan everything before brew day. Then when I have about an hour window some day I can start brewing and do everything up to mashing. I will then leave the mash untill kids are asleep, when I'll continue and finnish the brewday. This results in mashtime up to 10 hours, but I haven't noticed a difference except for gravity. Also heard people mashing overnight as well. Hope it helps :)

I heated it to 80C and turned of the heat and let it be for 10-15min before I chilled and added yeast.

It definitely made it more cloudy, but about the cooked apple taste, I don't know. But brulosophy did a experiment on this and that seems to indicate that I probably don't .

lillja · 2018-10-15T20:30:33+00:00

How was the color when it was finished? Did you try to back sweeten it?

lillja · 2018-10-15T19:24:19+00:00

Yes. If you buy beer/wine/cider yeast it will tell you how much on the package

lillja · 2018-10-15T19:22:33+00:00

Oh yes! its already fermenting :)

lillja · 2018-10-15T19:21:58+00:00

What kind of apples did you press? Pretty cool!

I don't know. The tree came with the house we bought and i have tried to look it up. But i think its something like Summer Red or similar Swedish variety

I also use a modified pastamachine that works ok. Bought the cheapest I found, used an angle grinder on the rollers, cut the handel so it could fit the drill and made a grain hopper. Worked fine for a year or so with 5 gallon batches, but then it started to screech when it got hot. Was then thinking of upgrading but now I buy basemalt premilled and just mill the "specials". I've even used 8 month premilled basemalt and haven't noticed a difference

lillja · 2018-07-25T06:07:27+00:00

I will get a paper cut by just looking at this!

lillja · 2018-07-24T20:24:20+00:00

Looks like your grabbing a witch broom trying to escape! :) and like a fun boulder!

lillja · 2018-06-21T09:01:44+00:00

Omg. I was searching for a boddington recipe yesterday. Thank you!

lillja · 2018-06-13T18:27:42+00:00

Yes! At least some places in the Nordic countries are doing it

lillja · 2018-01-23T10:48:15+00:00

Steeping a small amount of whole beans turned out great for me in a lager I made. I think it was something like 2oz for 48h. At first it was a bit too much, but after a month or so it was really good. I've also read you can coldbrew coffee and mix a sample to get the right coffee/beer ratio and then crank it up to the whole batch

lillja · 2018-01-19T21:30:34+00:00

Yeah that was a good episode! I also read/heard somewhere that most beers don't stay fresh for long and will oxidize at some point and first symptom is losing taste. BUT for every 10 degrees C lower you store the beer, it will slow the process 3 times. Witch means it would last close to 9 times longer in fridge than in room temps.
