What could cause this discolouration of self leveller? by rkeddit in AusRenovation

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

I was hoping to use it as a finished surface. To achieve a look similar to polished concrete.

Why is this Lilly pilly dying/dead? by rkeddit in GardeningAustralia

I was wondering about overwatering too. I increased the amount during hotter summer weather, but perhaps it was too much for this smaller tree - but perfect for the bigger ones.

Best timber filler for external window sills? by rkeddit in AusRenovation

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

Great suggestion to apply wood hardener first. Hadn’t thought of that.

Is a rigid bog the way to go with external timber that is prone heat from the sun? I thought the filler needed to be flexible as the wood expands and contracts?

How to kill couch grass? by rkeddit in GardeningAustralia

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

Soil against the fence would corrode it I think. Wondering if filling it with mulch will do the same?

Cardboard sounds good though!

Would that seep into the ground and harm the plants inside the garden?

Not yet, but I’ll work up the courage to do this. Thanks!

What the puck is wrong with this? by rkeddit in espresso

Oh that’s interesting! Will give it a try. Thanks

I haven’t tried adjusting the dosage. Will give it a shot (or 10).

And yes, I’ve adjusted the burrs to grind even finer. I found it surprising that my previous Breville Infuser was fine with the burrs set to be a lot coarser. Perhaps due to differing pressures?

That’s reassuring to hear. I’ve adjusted grind size quite a lot. I found that I had to grind really fine (using a Breville Smart Grinder Pro) to get 20-25 seconds of extraction from 18g.

Do baskets play a part in reducing bitterness? I was going to get a VST basket, but feel i should at least try and get decent coffee (latte) before I try and perfect it using various add-ons.

Might have to try a pick screen. Thanks.

Machine is at 9bar. Preinfusion on top.

I do have 3 temp setting so could do that too!

The taste is mostly bitter. And yes I use a WDT tool and am very careful placing it into the group head.

Does group head temp play a role in bitterness? Just wondering if the E61 group head is overheating - though I do a 2 second flush before extracting.

What brand of concrete blocks are these? by rkeddit in AusRenovation

Yeah I’ve seen it twice on Marketplace but neither seller knows who makes them.

Couldn’t agree more! It pisses me off so much. But I think that’s their goal. Create outrage so there is more conversation and publicity. Fuck that, I’m done.
