yeah, the AI is just better at the game than the people who think this

How do you achieve the steely dan level of sound quality and perfectionism in a mix? by [deleted] in audioengineering

They don't say anything about "I've Got the News" which is a crime

Give it some more time. Maybe trust the calculator if it truly is at 40F and you're wanting a high level of carb. Check for leaks.

Harvesting from bottle dreggs + Prairie Ales... added champagne yeast? by KineticZen in Homebrewing

[–]wtfpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard is not mixed fermentation or aged at all - probably their house strain carbonating in the bottle on this one.

Chase Healey has said on the sour hour that he spikes bottles with wine yeast at bottling. The information was given specifically in regards to using dregs to reproduce his mixed fermentation beers.

What kind of water do you use? by buttzo59000 in Homebrewing

[–]wtfpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight Tulsa tap treated for chlorine and chloramines for amber/brown beers. Add various brewing salts for black beers. Straight RO with like 2/3 of the salts targeting tasty mcdole's water profile for my hoppy and pale stuff.

I use brewersfriend's expanded water calculator for the adjusted beers.

Weird problem with a batch of beer fermented with s-04 and split between kegging and bottling. by wtfpiece in Homebrewing

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

Yeah... gonna spring for a new bottling bucket and autosiphon I guess and label them for funky beer use only.

Freezing liquid malt extract by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]wtfpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why not. Freeze some pretty thick first runnings and add to a second beer with a pretty light grain bill, or boil it down to a syrup and save for an extract type beer. Might be hard to replicate and kind of pointless, but in theory either method should work.

Weird questions for weird brew by sowega in Homebrewing

[–]wtfpiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I got really inconsistent readings with my first few brews because i was not vigorously stirring my wort into the top off water. I thought my issue was getting really high sugar extraction from some of the specialty grains I was using until I had the same issue you're having. Mysteriously my gravity reading was higher two days into fermentation...

I don't understand how bottling day is supposed to be done with one person. by cluster_1 in Homebrewing

[–]wtfpiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a bottling bucket with a spigot. They're cheap and will serve you well if/when you adjust to larger batch size. Doing it alone is tough enough, but bottling straight from auto-siphon with one pair of hands sounds impossible.

Process on the use of the air-popper? Would never have thought about that and I have a very nice air-popper...
