No…can anyone stop you?

Is this a selfie?

Precisely! Don’t make wine with Concord grapes and canned applesauce, which I am doing right now. What’s another one? Don’t let your airlocks run dry?

Lord, have mercy on our souls.

Based teacher. Documentation makes all the difference. Your descendants will need a record of your stupid shit mixed with brilliance.

Thank you for your sacrifice For Science. Mr. Spock would be proud.

SUCH a good choice of image!

I just made my first sahti, with baker’s yeast and eastern red cedar branches. It was weird and wonderful, it tasted like cedar smells. Lots of wild yeast from the cedar didn’t do it any harm.

Just finished picking apples, so I can dehydrate them in slices to use later for brewing. I’m obsessed with apple lambic RN, but don’t have to time to brew a batch. A few of the apples were suitable for storing whole. Maybe later, I can reactivate/rehydrate the lovely yeasts on the apple peels and finally get a lambic.

Thanks for the heads up, I’m finally going to fire this off. I’ve been procrastinating on this privacy stuff too long. Begone, thot Outlook!

That is so much work to give randos for free. Thank you, you are giving me cozy “Muppet Christmas Carol”-esque vibes I needed.

Hot diggity dog. You’ve living the dream. I can’t get the closest brewery to answer my inquiry about buying fresh yeast, old hops, etc. they’re friendly, but not that helpful. A yes or a no would be sufficient.

How did it taste, tho?

There are thousands of types of mold besides the ones you mentioned and most are not harmful to humans. But there are many that can be very, very harmful under the right conditions, like some types of black mold people find in their basements.

Sorry, bud

Yasss, this is the support I need as a noob

Thank you for this. Might have this tattooed somewhere…or tattoo it on the dog…

LOL it’s my first brew, I don’t know. I’ve got a packet of bentonite, a packet of plain gelatin, I don’t think it could hurt to pick one and try to get the particles of funk and starch to settle. “‘I have read a lot of books about this’, she said calmly as she sat down at the helm.”

You took one for the team. Keep us updated! I had a gallon of fresh raw apple juice that I’m using to make a half ass lambic. It’s slowly settling. Did you use anything to fine it before racking? Is that the right term? Using gelatin or isinglass, etc.
