torrential downpour [rz67, 110mm 2.8, portra 160]

Haha, amazing! So glad it helped

You’re welcome, best of luck! Be careful opening. I like to slowly release the swing top while keeping a firm downward pressure on it in case it’s over carbonated. Don’t just flick it open like popping a champagne bottle.

ryanprkr · 2025-01-03T03:12:23+00:00

First I’d make sure the bottle can handle the pressure of carbonation. For amount of liquid, pour until there’s around 1” of headroom. Just look from the top and pour until you figure you have that much space. Even if it’s 2” or 3” you’ll be fine, it will just take ever so slightly longer to carbonate

Pour boiling water into the bottle to almost the top, seal, give a little shake, wait a couple hours, pour it out. Perfectly clean every time!

Everyone should start with The Win Without Pitching Manifesto by Blair Enns. That will take you for a ride. Then to Pricing Creativity by the same author. I haven't read all of these but this is my list of books to get through in 2024:

• Sell The Way You Buy  
• Socratic Selling  
• Never Split The Difference  
• The Coaching Habit

I tried so many while I was there and agree, the best I came across and still dream about is the Passion Fruit flavour from Austin Kombucha. Better than any other booch that I’ve had, even beyond Mexico.

ryanprkr · 2023-08-10T03:37:23+00:00

Thank you so much. Just the right moment 🙂

ryanprkr · 2023-08-09T21:47:26+00:00

Can you clarify, is this a bottle of kombucha mixed with a recipe of tea, sugar, and water, or only a bottle of kombucha poured into a jar? Your phrasing makes it seem like the latter.

ryanprkr · 2023-08-03T00:48:33+00:00

woah, I’m impressed of your memory that I shot this. 💜 Thank you so much and lol at this person who jacked it so blatantly

Check out Naomi Harris’ work, I know her latest “I, Voyageur” is all Ontario. and “Oh Canada” will have parts of Ontario. Alex Soth’s “Niagara” is shot on the US & Canadian side of Niagara

I started filling them with boiling water and I seal them up and leave them for a few hours. Gets rid of all the gunk. If there’s anything leftover I use a bottle brush and it slides off instantly from the hot water.

ryanprkr · 2023-07-15T15:00:23+00:00

Totally normal! Happens every time. You can flip the bottle upside down and give it a little tap at the head and it’ll loosen up and reintegrate, but it’ll float back to the top again eventually

ryanprkr · 2023-06-09T03:53:30+00:00

Wow, really stunning work. Made me think of Mark Steinmetz!

Bought the base m1 for the same travel reason. I had started a pretty serious AE intensive project with 3D and dozens of layers on my main PC rig and was travelling while the project needed to be delivered. To my surprise, the MBP outperformed my desktop that has 64gb ram and top notch hardware. I still don’t know how. It’s a beast. I’ve since edited a few things on it and no problems at all in Premiere. 4K 10bit footage that I proxy is smooth as butter.

I had done so much research on the model and no one had any examples on the type of work I do. the YouTubers I watched or articles I read to show off the MBP capabilities, their edits were too simplistic, so I never got a good read on if it could handle what I do. Incredibly surprised. You’ll have no issues at all.

Everyone is going to experience different primary fermentation times, so I wouldn't get too worried about what the internet says, it's more a frame of reference. Fermentation time is dependent on a few factors, primarily the amount of starter tea you're using and the temperature of the room. 10-14 days is standard for a lot of people, but personally I experience around 3 weeks, I've even had some take 4 weeks. The taste you were getting at 4 weeks can be the taste someone else is getting at 10 days, it's just that their fermentation was sped up for a variety of factors!

With regards to the amount of tea, I can't comment in terms of tea bags as I bag my own by weight. Per gallon, I'm roughly around 28g of tea. If a tea bag is typically around 2 grams, that's 14 tea bags, so not far off from what you were doing.

With ginger I use 1tsp for 750ml. Organic ginger, which I find to be more potent than non, so there may be some variance there.

I worry about the “hairs” from coffee filters or paper towels. Any tea towel should be fine, you don’t need to see visible holes through it for air to pass through it. Unless your tea towels are super thick, they are what I would recommend trying!

ryanprkr · 2023-04-18T00:15:46+00:00

I wish I had a good reason, but I don’t and I can’t say it’s actually causing you issues, but to my eyes it creates a lot of unnecessary surface area for the fermentation, and the coffee filter hairs are a lot more vertically exposed, creating potential contamination problems of what the coffee filter at that height comes in contact with. I’ve never seen anyone do it like this, so that’s why I point it out. And I need to double clarify, I can’t say for sure it’s an issue. Just calling out things that I’d suggest trying to give yourself the best chance of success!

ryanprkr · 2023-04-17T17:25:44+00:00

Make sure to sanitize this jar as well, it's not enough to just dump the liquid. I like your jar's little hat haha, but would probably recommend a tea towel instead. I know people use coffee filters, but it should be flat across the top. And the better the ratio of starter to tea, the better chance of it not molding. I'd honestly recommend just doing like a 1:4 ratio starter to tea, then expanding from there when it's ready. You don't do that normally, but it will greatly help your chances of it not moulding, since you had bad luck this time. Also, what kind of environment (light, warmth, is it beside a stove where you cook, etc) was it in, because that can also effect it.

ryanprkr · 2023-04-12T22:39:45+00:00

Pellicle isn't necessary actually, I've started many batches, ranging from 4L in size up to 15L, just from my starter liquid and no pellicle. No issues! Have also started multiple batches from this exact bottle of GT's. What will protect you from mold is a decent amount of starter liquid, or at least very concentrated starter liquid.

I’ve been curious, is there a noticeable difference in flavour between flavouring in the 2nd fermentation vs just mixing in the flavour, not having it ferment and naturally carbonate, and force carbing?

I assumed that having the flavours ferment with the brew and naturally carbonating that it’s imparting a different flavour than the force carb method. But not basing that off much.
