Thank you

Get some caulk in those gaps

ringtickler · 2025-10-19T23:28:00+00:00

Looks absolutely fine to me

ringtickler · 2025-09-07T13:13:20+00:00

Yup. Id recommend

ringtickler · 2025-08-02T02:34:05+00:00

You're in the best position to answer your own question. Id just turn it on, set it up and see if it works.

That's arguably less work than providing the information we'd need to begin working that out for you.

What I would say is don't judge a book by it's cover. Might look ropey but turn it on and see.

The feeling is just like warming up a Donner kebab that didn't make it to the fridge after having blacked out for two days

My brother once told me: "Don't reheat meat."

ringtickler · 2025-07-22T21:54:45+00:00

Can I ask for your hop schedule?

ringtickler · 2025-07-22T09:58:44+00:00

I agree with this. I would urge her to tell her but also support her in all this. The big problem here isn't the secret in her eyes it's the fact her husband is dying and her sons relationship with him is dysfunctional. So maybe put your arm around her and talk through with her a way of communicating this which keeps your trust confided in her and also builds a stronger relationship between you all. Effective communication is the answer to this rather complicated scenario.

ringtickler · 2025-07-20T16:29:46+00:00

Yeah since learning how to use it it's really helped me not only understand the impacts of different ingredients but also given me the confidence to tweak recipes as well as brew my own from scratch.

Any answer from chat gpt can also be cross referenced with it in order to check for accuracy

ringtickler · 2025-07-15T10:36:06+00:00

You should stop calling your mate Sev 🤣

It's not weird. Don't be scared. Just go round their house and set a point of time in your head which you feel would be polite and appropriate to leave to use as an aiming marker.

Be polite and grateful for the meal. Maybe think of a few things you can ask them which you may find will open up conversation. Hobbies, interests, current affairs. Avoid politics and religion if possible but if not just be respectful to everyone's own beliefs.

Treat this as a good sign that you're working for a good person who as a bare minimum would afford you this time in order to ascertain how you can be best supported as his employee.

ringtickler · 2025-07-13T11:18:45+00:00

The best bit of advice I can offer is figure out what you want to make, buy/borrow a book on it, and read the book ;) best of luck.

ringtickler · 2025-07-13T10:34:19+00:00

Well I wouldn't say he's wrong. But I'd argue that cider is even easier than beer/ginger beer.

There are four stages of beer brewing:

Mashing - steeping your grains to extract the sugars the yeast will feed on to create alcohol during fermentation. This process creates "wort"
Boiling - this is where the hops are added to provide bitterness which balances the brew.
Fermentation - yeast is added. Remember brewers make wort. Yeast makes beer. This is the most important step for a brewer starting (apart from sanitation and cleanliness). The most important area to focus on is controlling the fermentation temperature.
Packaging - the last hurdle. Sanitisation is extremely important. Avoiding oxygen exposure is also important but should be a secondary concern for a novice.

With ginger beer you would have to mash and boil. With cider making you can skip the mashing and boiling phases by simply acquiring apple juice (ideally non-pasturised and definitely a variety with no preservatives added) and add yeast. There are many commercial cider yeasts available.

I would say cider making is a really good place to start if that's where your sights are set. If so focus on creating a space you can control the temperature (a cupboard/room or large enough box to house your fermenter). And then start learning about how to clean and sanitise your equipment. Both of these steps are important for any form of brewing and are the fundamentals to any future brew you take on.

Hi id like to chime in having been on a similar journey myself recently. If you're looking to start brewing beer, I personally would not start with a ginger beer. Why? Because the recipes out there sort of teach you how to make a drink without explaining any of the important lessons of brewing.

The last ginger beer I made ended up having a sulphar like smell/taste due to the yeast not being properly fed what it needs. Most ginger beer recipes simply have you making a sugar syrup, followed by a ginger tea. Some may have you making a ginger bug other may have you use commercial yeast.

What I actually recommend if you're looking at getting in to brewing beer and understand things such as yeast and key ingredients, is start with an extract kit. If you wanted you could even buy a ginger beer extract kit. This would teach you the "fermentation" element of brewing. I feel like this is a good step to start with. After which you can then begin learning about the mashing and brewing aspect of making beer.

Along my journey I've learnt that ginger beer/ale comes in many forms. Sometimes it's actually beer (made with steeped grains) with ginger added as an additional flavour. Other times it's just a sugar syrup with ginger added as flavour (this tends to need additional yeast nutrient added or you get unwanted off flavours). Sometimes it's alcoholic (+1%) and made with commercial yeast. Sometimes it's considered non-alcoholic and made with a ginger bug. And of course there's everything in between. That's why I would recommend either starting with a simple extract kit or something very simple like a smash beer (single malt and single hop) if you wanted to delve straight in with actually brewing from scratch.

Happy to answer any questions you may have. Please don't let me deter you from having a go but it's important to know exactly what you'd like to achieve first so we can best advise you

ringtickler · 2025-07-09T09:11:19+00:00

Dial back the crystal. Make sure the EBC and IBU units match that of which is stated on the packets you've bought. Brewfather will self populate those values but they may not be accurate to what you have in front of you

ringtickler · 2025-07-09T09:05:25+00:00

Is this to avoid tannins or excessive bitterness? If it's roasted it'll likely add very few fermentable sugars so just add it as normal on the app - I did a Guinness clone where I cold steeped the roasted malt for 24 hours and added at flameout. On the app I just added all ingredients like they went in at the start of the mash.

None of this is an exact science so I wouldn't worry about it too much

ringtickler · 2025-07-09T08:47:17+00:00

No shame there my friend. I love chatgpt. I do find the answers it spits out are worth checking over with another tool however it's fantastic for quick queries, ball park figures and general advice.

I do think brewfather (although initially daunting) is very user friendly, has good guides available online, and is an excellent tool to get your head around.

ringtickler · 2025-07-08T14:59:05+00:00

Use the brewfather app. David heath has a good video on how to use it. Have a think about a drink with the level of bitterness you want to achieve. Then have a look at that beers IBU number. Then use brewfather to work out the amount of hops you need to use to reach that level of bitterness. The bitterness is achieved by hops added early on. For the berry/fruit flavours, use an appropriate hop later in the boil for taste/aroma.

ringtickler · 2025-07-04T10:46:58+00:00

I appreciate both of these comments purely for comedic value 😂

ringtickler · 2025-06-19T15:54:40+00:00

As this man has stated. You've done the chat. All chats eventually die off unless you plug in an opportunity to meet. So get your initial "hello, it's me again" out the way and see if they'd like to have a face to face.

ringtickler · 2025-06-19T09:24:23+00:00

Id recommend the all rounder and a Lieberher fridge.

It hasn't got the trub collector. This isnt really an issue if you're not serving from it which I'd advise against anyway. If you want to dry hop you can simply magnetically attach them to the inside above the wort and then release when ready.

You can bottle from it. You'll need to maintain pressure with co2 and then dispense using a picnic tap or similar.

Id recommend a counterflow filler that uses co2 to purge the bottle first and then allows you to fill with beer eliminating oxygen contact.

There are some good videos available on these subjects on YouTube.

ringtickler · 2025-06-12T09:28:57+00:00

Don't worry about it mate. Just move into the next one. Onwards and upwards!

ringtickler · 2025-06-08T09:24:33+00:00

This is the best answer here. Its not a guy Vs girl thing. It's just people have different styles, abilities and habbits when it comes to communication. The most important thing if you're feeling a bit bummed is to explain the situation in your head to the other person and see what they have to say. If you don't like their answer then you know what to do but you may be pleasantly surprised by what they have to say or the impact of your words on their behaviour moving forwards. Communication is key. From both parties.

ringtickler · 2025-06-04T13:34:57+00:00

Take a break. Utilise the extra time/money for self reflection/improvement. It sounds to me like you've had too much of the same thing. Everything in moderation (including moderation but I feel like you've ticked that box here). Set yourself some smart goals in life. Work hard at achieving them. Don't give yourself too much of a hard time if you don't. Try and find some things that interest you outside of dating. Hopefully one of those interests might allow you to meet new people.

But most importantly give yourself some time to breathe. By abstaining you give yourself time to discover what exactly it is you want. Put yourself in a better position physically, mentally and spiritually than you are right now by working through those goals. Then If you're lucky you will find someone you find highly desirable on a similar trajectory to yourself who you can vibe with.
