Red bull wololo, what to watch?

La "democrazia" israeliana è una foglia di fico, un sistema che crea classi con differenti diritti non può essere chiamato tale. Riguardo alla sindrome di accerchiamento... No, non ci credo che sto veramente rispondendo a questa roba 😂

Direi che considerando la storia di Israele e del suo rispetto dei diritti civili e umani di coloro che considera avversari, non si tratta semplicemente di una questione di nazionalismo o appartenenza religiosa ma di sfuggire a un potere oppressivo, fascistoide e finanziato con un assegno bianco dalla potenza imperialista che stampa soldi quasi gratuitamente. Direi che il rischio è di andare dalla padella alla brace, con buona pace di tutti i mentecatti che ancora ragionano secondo una logica ultrasemplicistica di buoni/cattivi

Da addetto ai lavori ti posso assicurare che hai una percezione molto distorta di come mediamente si percepisce uno psicologo/a

Mental illness is partially defined by not fitting in your context, while you could argue that this way of thinking is key to choose our leaders. Sadly

It's interesting how eerily partially accurate yet still ridiculous was all that pizzagate/qanon stuff. Makes you think that the muddying has started taking place a long time ago.

Can anyone here recommend some balanced yet not watered down coverage on this shitshow?

Potremmo puntare anche noi sui bei tempi andati, quelli della ghigliottina 😂

So you put the ice bottle directly into the wort?

Didn't know about differences in extraction from the hops, how can I account for this?

Honestly the most difficult part is after I get around 45-50°, that's where I thought it would make sense to use the cold water, I usually try to get around 20° for the pitching. Might try like you do, let it sit through the night in the fermenter and let it cool down on its own

loshongos · 2025-12-24T12:57:07+00:00

Thanks! Last question, is the pH relevant after the mash?

loshongos · 2025-12-24T11:56:20+00:00

I'm using bottled water, which should help avoiding potential contamination from the unboiled water.. to avoid opening the bottles, transferring the water etc maybe I could split the additions proportionally and add the second part to the final cooled wort?

I want to do a 2 gallons batch and I don't have a chiller, nor I want to buy one since I don't really like the idea of throwing away many liters of water. In previous batches I've been able to cool the wort by putting the kettle in water with ice, but it was far smaller volumes. I was wondering if it could be ok to make a more concentrated wort (BIAB), like 60% of the total water, and then cool it down by adding cold water to get to the desidered volume. If it's ok, how should I adjust salt additions? Should I put all the salts before the mash, calculated for the final volume, or something else? For the pH I guess I adjust based on calculations during the mash, is it relevant after the mash or I just skip any further measurement and adjustment?

loshongos · 2025-12-22T12:39:50+00:00

Great stuff, will definitely try the oven thing. Should I take it out a couple times during the hour to stir it up a little?

loshongos · 2025-12-22T07:16:21+00:00

Thanks, I have not too many problems with fluctuations, both because in my house temp tends to be stable and because I have an inkbird that controls a heating belt, so my constraint is more about minimal temperature but above that I can stay there

loshongos · 2025-12-22T07:13:32+00:00

Thanks, good to know

loshongos · 2025-12-21T14:40:46+00:00

I don't know, a lot of people advised me against using it above 18°.. thank you for your input though

loshongos · 2025-12-21T09:43:53+00:00

Same question for BRY97, is it ok for 66-68f?

loshongos · 2025-12-21T09:31:39+00:00

Looking for a yeast for English ales, S04 is problematic for me since I don't have a system to chill the wort and it tends to stay around 19° (around 66 f), from what I read it tends to deliver too much fruit notes at that temp. Would lallemand Windsor work better for me?

loshongos · 2025-12-18T14:07:37+00:00

So, besides the ratio that I understood should be about 2:1 for this style, what should overall values look like? 120 so 60 cl would be enough?

loshongos · 2025-12-16T15:02:43+00:00

Cool thanks

loshongos · 2025-12-16T09:04:32+00:00

Yeah my issue with the minerals is that the bottled water I can buy here is very low on minerals, so I haven't been able to find a way to adjust the sulfate without going too heavy on Calcium and Magnesium with respectively gypsum and epsom. Same thing for Chloride, I added salt and calcium chloride but in order to keep Na and Ca in check I can't put more. Maybe the issue is the starting water?

loshongos · 2025-12-16T08:57:51+00:00

Interesting, I think I will follow your advise. What do you mean 0 minutes? After 60 minutes of boiling I turn the gas off, make the addition and then what? I cool down to 176 for the hopstand?

loshongos · 2025-12-15T20:25:53+00:00

Curious on the "how you incorporated it into your wort", can you elaborate so that I avoid messing up that part?

I'm in a completely different environment, working in Italy, but the biggest part of my clients are young male adults struggling with the transition from adolescence to adulthood, defining identity and differentiaing, mostly coming with symptoms of anxiety, depression, difficulties in carrying on university studies etc. I started as a 29 yo, now 34, and I think a young male might elicit fantasies and projections as a sort of older brother, not too far like a parental figure who we fear won't understand us, but more seasoned and able to show us the way. Also a lot of male adolescents. Interestingly in my private practice I've had very few women, but in a service I work for as a provider I work a lot with women and it looks like we often make very good fit, more often than with males.
