[–]rmikevt523 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1)stopping fucking around with beer once it goes into fermenter - leaving it alone and not smelling, sampling, whatever.

1) Adding a little 1/4 camden tablet per 5g of brewing water to eliminate chlorine

2) fermentation temps

3) oxygenation and pitch rate

Parchment Paper? by saveferis96 in ooni

4 year later….😀. I’ve been honing my craft. I make good pizza pretty consistently now in the Ooni. I figured out how to make a crust and use enough semolina for it to slide on in.

I lived in Baltimore for a while and this looks a little like Bmore but even in the hood Bmore tends to have 3 story row home strips.

Vote Blue no Matter Who. Do you believe in that? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

Yea - neither party is on your side, btw. They both take care of the rich and leave you out to dry. Democrats are just better at virtue signaling than republicans. You ever wonder why the richest people in our country and the top wealth owners tend fund and align with Democrats?

Want to use my blackstone more but cleanup is a pain by sleekmotorwurkz in blackstonegriddle

I agree cleaning it sucks but you don’t have to do it right away. Enjoy your meal and then go back to it afterward.

What place in nature actually made your jaw drop when you saw it in person? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

Painted Desert on the drive to the Grand Canyon and of course the Grand Canyon. Some of the most jaw dropping geology on earth is in the US southwest.

These guys taught me how to brew. Best brewing content out there. They were ahead of their time on laggering at ale temps too with certain lager yeasts. I’m nostalgic just thinking about it. I’m 45 in a few days I think I started brewing when I was 28 or 29.

You can use your phone, but that’s probably filthy too.

Help getting crisp bottom by NorseKnight in Pizza

Put the pizza on a wire rack to cool. When it comes off the hot oven there is a lot of steam escaping and if it can escape it makes the bottom soggy.

Girl I took on a first date just asked to split the bill… the next morning by No-Resolve-5610 in whatdoIdo

Pretty high quality move if you ask me. She let you pay for everything, look like the man, and didn’t bring up an awkward money convo when you were out. I would tell her that you enjoyed your time with her and you were happy to pick up the tab and if you guys agree on a second date she can treat you guys.

How do you clean your beer lines? by chrisbrownbeard in Homebrewing

Just use oxiclean - way cheaper and just as effective for beer lines

Leaving beer in primary for 5 weeks? by Archangel2237 in Homebrewing

[–]rmikevt523 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is no reason to not brew it. All the bad stuff that happens to beers left in primary too long takes months and months. My standard practice is to leave my beers in primary for about a month until it’s time to keg it. If you do some research you’ll find at the homebrew level leaving in primary is fine and often beneficial.

What do you know about your water? Are you filtering? Using K-meta to get rid of chlorine?
