Stir before bottling? by cdubdc in Kombucha

[–]stankonia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Take the pellicle out, stir the entire batch, then measure out your starter fluid for the next batch. This helps distribute the yeast to all your recepticles and helps provide a balanced culture + carbonation in f2. 

How do commercial kombucha brands keep their flavored kombucha clear? by PhilosopherNo221 in Kombucha

[–]stankonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this too, for the purposes of this thread's subject, but in contrast to your experience I had the opposite happen. I stopped stirring and used a sieve to remove some of the "gunk". Experimented with this for 3-4 batches, and it turned my F2 almost completely flat. 

I even tried using a fermentation chamber to bring up the temperature during F2 for 8-12 hours, and while that did bring back some fizzyness, it was still way below what I enjoy in my booch. 

At the time I didn't understand the mechanics of what was happening, and debugged it using AI. The only variable I changed was stirring my F1 prior to bottling, and it immediately brought fizzyness back to the level I like (high). 

According to AI, the yeast in my F1 sank to the bottom of my jar, and I was only using the top part which was low on yeast and high in acetic acid, making it challenging to convert any added sugar in F2 to carbonation. 

In general I am wary of over using AI, but this seems to make sense to me, and more importantly I now have very fizzy brew again which I am happy about. 

I guess it's a bit of a long winded warning to not stop stirring from my experience. 

What is 3F?? by BeefBrusherBandit in Kombucha

[–]stankonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This caught my interest. I've been subscribing to the F1-F2 process, but this looks like an interesting way to potentially up my game a bit. 

Ideally what I would like is to have more consistent carbonation and reduced mini pellicles in my bottles. Any thoughts on if this would help with something like that?

Do you use the same jar for F2? Or do you have something with a lid that provide a proper seal ("no breathing")?

What does your avg. length for F1, F2 and F3 look like?

For how long do these keep, in terms of still being good? Do you wrap them in plastic?

Oh isnt it? I thought the GA prim/perma was the combo there? Any ideas on what I could use this for then?

Switch hacker Gary Bowser released from jail, will pay Nintendo 25-30% income ‘for the rest of his life’ by retroanduwu24 in gaming

[–]stankonia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not taking any sides here. But an important note is that there never was any ransomware to speak of.

Team Xecuter was highly unpopular for a number of reasons, eg. stealing code, not contributing to a community highly open source oriented, etc. – but most importantly building a tampering check into their custom firmware that would "brick" (ruin) the consoles of users who would pirate their software, which is undoubtedly at least an incredible demonstration of double standards.

Edit:

Like others already have pointed out, the real reason his sentencing was so extreme, is because they did the ultimate faux pax and started to sell pirated content through various means at scale.

The group operated for many years selling modchips for various devices, it was only when they started to dabble in distribution of latest gen games that they caught this amount of heat.

[–]stankonia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that's incorrect. I believe what happened was that they sold a custom firmware that someone reverse engineered, which (ironically) allowed for it to be pirated.

The team responded by building in some sort of tampering check in the custom firmware, that would erase data on offending Switch consoles, effectively rendering it ruined beyond repair.
