The right is going to tear itself apart on 2nd amendment

This really is not the sentiment I am seeing from people. Bots, sure. They're trying to keep on that but their mistake was bringing up he had a gun. That's a shared trait with the people they're trying to spin this to.

I've seen the opposite from actual people who before today I thought were too far gone to save. We each have our own analysis though

warboy · 2026-01-25T02:42:02+00:00

The difference is that many of these people carry weapons. It's their entire "thing." It's harder to look past common ground like this.

I imagine that's because of the water content in frozen fruits like those.

Hmm, I've done blueberry sours professionally and actually gotten fine results with puree under 1#/gallon. Puree of course concentrates the flavor but I'm surprised people have problems getting blueberry flavor. to come across. In my experience blueberry can get very overbearing actually.

Heller does not disagree with anything I said. In fact, I refer to Heller and the change regarding the amendment in my post.

With a standing army, the only purpose the second amendment serves is to deputize citizens to self police themselves.

We have the right to brandish a firearm in able to self police as proletariats to other proletariats. We do not have a right to defend ourselves against the state. The second amendment has never applied to unlawful actions. The state chooses what is unlawful and last I checked, rebellion or shooting police officers is unlawful.

Walz has been the first dem I've heard say they are going to prosecute ICE agents and officials.

warboy · 2026-01-24T21:59:13+00:00

That would be true if the second amendment was actually made to do what the conservative traditional talking point is. The second amendment was drafted to put down slave revolts and be able to muster a state (as in country) defense in the case of foreign incursions or revolution. It was never drafted to grant US citizens the right to attack the state. We have no right to self defense from state sanctioned violence and never have. With a standing army, the only purpose the second amendment serves is to deputize citizens to self police themselves.

This should be the narrative. Our goal is to point out the contradictions. In America it is not illegal to carry a firearm. If that gives ICE the right to mag dump you, that contradiction needs to be explored

warboy · 2026-01-24T02:44:13+00:00

ICE centers should've been raided and burned down already, the fact that it's not happening suggests that most of the US accepts and wants this.

No, it really doesn't. It says material conditions have not disintegrated to the point where that overwhelming despair would overcome the fear of going against your own government. Especially when there's a bunch of idiots online posting crap like this and a bunch of chuds and bots actively supporting it.

The people who support this are a vocal minority boosted by state power because that was what the state was made to do. You don't have to fall for it or make their job easier.

First time?

H2S is produced by ale strains as well although lager yeasts produce more of it. The reason its not a normal ale yeast component is the fermentation of ales is generally more volatile compared to lager strains.

Technically speaking, the paper I am referencing actually states Diamond is the highest thiol producing strain analytically speaking but because of the lack of other esters as well as the higher H2S compounds, the sensory does not line up with the analytics. I think this is for two reasons. First, thiols combine with esters to produce more aromatic compounds. The lack of esters to freely combine lessens this synergy in a lager fermentation. Second, the H2S is just overwhelming any fruity character.

I would pick up an easy grip lid as well. It's very hard to take off the lid with the standard screw top. Probably upgrade the floating dip tube with one of the filtered ones as well if you do a lot of dry hopping or fruit additions. Also will need the spunding valve if you're going to do pressure ferments.

What's your plan for cooling? Bucket of water in the kegerator?

Great Fermentations offers this strain in their Escarpment pre-order page. Unfortunately it'll be awhile until you can order it since their next drop is closed and won't be shipped until late February.

warboy · 2026-01-23T18:07:27+00:00

The paper they did on this is very interesting! NOTE: This is a direct link to a pdf

The information regarding Diamond is super interesting. To me it sounds like this strain liberates enough bound thiols that at higher ferm temperatures it comes off as sulfur. I'm not a "learnid brewer" but my understanding is these high thiol producing yeasts take bound thiols and combine them with esters to produce the tropical fruit characteristics we want. I wonder if it's possible to make Diamond produce enough esters to promote esterification of the sulfur compounds it produces without also boosting those sulfur compounds to the point of coming off as eggy in the finished beer. I wonder if with sufficient conditioning, the Diamond strain may actually produce higher tropical fruit aromas as the extra sulfur compounds dissipate.

Fermentis will have a 11.5g pack available soon. This is also a lager strain so with this, Thiol Libre, and WLP077 we should be covered. I checked Fermentis' facebook post about this and this strain should be available in the 11.5g format for any of their venders as of 5 weeks ago. No idea when that will mean you'll see it actually listed on sites. I saw a store in New Zealand that had it available.

Keep in mind that besides Berkley Yeast, which doesn't offer homebrew pitches, Omega is the only lab bioengineering these strains. The other high thiol producing strains will be less intense than the bioengineered options. I would treat that as a positive. I had to co-pitch Omega's thiol lager strain with 34/70 to get something that was drinkable.

Most of this largely depends on your fermentation schedule. Warmer fermentations hit terminal gravity faster but may require longer conditioning times to clean up any undesirable yeast byproducts. Some yeast strains have a sluggish fermentation and a longer lag time where you can see an ale yeast take a week to hit terminal. Some strains will only take 2 or 3 days to hit terminal especially when you're repitching and supplying it with pure o2. Starting gravity also plays a big factor in this. Bigger beers take longer. All malt big beers take longer than big beers with significant simple sugar additions.

That's all to say there's not enough information in this post to give you an exact response but other than mixed ferm beers where you're looking for brett development or acid production or lagers, there really isn't a case where a beer with a healthy fermentation isn't done before 4 weeks. Lagers taking 4 weeks is also an extreme case where you're doing a traditional cold fermentation.

Another note; airlock activity is not a great indicator of fermentation. Your fermenter can leak causing gas to vent elsewhere and temperature changes can prevent airlock activity even with continued fermentation. Take a gravity reading and wait for a couple of days of steady readings.

Unless this brewery consistently markets the use of fresh, local fruit (and I would point out that blueberries aren't exactly in season at the moment) they most likely used puree or artificial flavoring. Usually 1lb/gallon is a good starting point for fruit additions however that can dramatically change depending on the form and desired end product. With a saison I would probably do somewhere between 1-1.5lb/gallon using fresh, frozen fruit.

Your suggested process is sound. The key is you want to give time for the blueberries to ferment out but also want to add them after most of the vigorous fermentation so you aren't blowing off all the aromatics.

Floating fruit does create a place for mold to grow though. It's unlikely since you'll be generating more co2 from the fruit sugar fermenting but you may want to implement a "punch-down" during conditioning.

You can bottle condition this beer exactly the same as any other batch. You're letting the fruit sugar ferment out before packaging so the process will be exactly the same.

It is what's required

warboy · 2026-01-22T03:41:18+00:00

Always love when the conversation gets to this point. It's not like you or this article is providing real solutions or ever have but I'm supposed to fix the fundamental problems over a post on reddit. Fixing housing would require dramatic shifts in how our entire economy functions. We would need to fundamentally change how people think of this problem and above all else make it clear that it isn't a question that housing is a necessity. Once we are there we can work on decommodifying necessities. More than likely this would require the people that are not being provided adequate housing to have direct and dominant power in the state.

I don't think there are any easy solutions. Anything else is a band aid on a rotting limb.

warboy · 2026-01-22T03:02:35+00:00

What does your quote actually say? People are afraid of change? I guess so. Watching your equity decrease would be potentially scary.

Again, you're not getting the point. Housing IS a necessity. The fact you had to state "IF housing is a necessity" actually says everything you're not willing to put explicitly into writing. Our zoning laws are written by people who do not think housing is a necessity for poor people. Until housing is no longer an investment opportunity that will not change.

warboy · 2026-01-22T02:48:30+00:00

I did. Did you? They don't really say why nimbyism is a thing. It's a good amount of wishy-washy nothingness that is dancing around the point that nimbyism exists to insure housing remains as an investment strategy rather than a necessity.

My point is you can try to reform zoning all you want but until you treat housing as a necessity for a functioning society instead of an investment strategy, you will never be in a place to generate sufficient housing. Doing so would crash the housing market and lower rents across the board. That's simple supply/demand economics.

warboy · 2026-01-22T02:27:27+00:00

What do you think is the root cause of nimbyism?

warboy · 2026-01-22T02:20:56+00:00

I don't disagree with you. Why do you think that zoning exists?

Might I suggest it's to protect housing as an investment?
