you now have tourette's and speak that incantation uncontrolably. the only medication for it is lead-based. lead is otherwise harmless to you.

concert tickets for 30$? sweet

that is a lot of patience. I applaud you. my beers always get tested during the aging process enough so that by the time they get to the 6 month mark I maybe have 6/34 left. and the conclusion on the final ones is always 'should have let them all age until now'. I never make lambics though

thanks for the travel beer log! I was always curious about the craft beer scene in Spain and Portugal, but never had the chance to go out and see for myself. seems like I'm not missing much, though.

if you're headed to the Netherlands afterwards by any chance, I can recommend Uiltje and Jopenkerk in Haarlem, they have pretty good stuff. Jopenkerk also had a gruit at one point, not sure if they still make it.

pretty much that demographic, yes. they have a right to vote, after all. arguably russia may have had a hand in creating them via 4chan itself. and it's not enough to start a movement, you have to keep it going with continuous propaganda, otherwise they might stray to the sane side

while not exactly what you're asking for, I did some rice wine with red yeast rice once and it had some fluorescence. Normally clear red, there was a nice green shade to it in direct sunlight.

I just wonder if it will eventually be used to boil water in order to spin a turbine.

Potioncraft: Alchemist Simulator. Love the mechanics, it's like what I wished Strange Horticulture would be when I first picked it up.

They're probably referencing this, but unironically.

MSG is found in all sorts of foods, from soy sauce to some nice aged cheeses. And the glutamic acid (which this is a salt of) is a non-essential amino-acid (meaning the human body makes it itself).

Might I suggest Carrobiolo, in Monza? They make some pretty awesome stuff.

 

So a while ago I stumbled upon some red yeast rice at my local asian store and fell down a rabbit hole started by the linked post (there is another - 159 page - post on those forums dedicated to rice wine - enter at your own peril).

I've managed to create about 2 very small batches of rice wine.

For the first batch I used red yeast rice for saccharification and some brewer's yeast for fermentation - results were good, out of about 3.5 kg cooked rice I got maybe 1 L of wine, slightly cloudy.

Second time I got the same quantities roughly but used red yeast rice for saccharification plus chinese yeast balls for saccharification plus fermentation. Wine was a bit tastier this time and I think the aspect was a bit better - clearer.

For both batches I filled a Kilner jar (3L) fitted with an airlock on a silicone cap and topped up with rice as it liquified (couldn't get the whole amount in there to start with). Mostly eyeballed the quantities. Straining out the solids proved to be very difficult as it turns into a slurry - think stuck mash, but worse.

Finished them off by pasteurizing - I stored them in roughly 300 mL jars - in a pot of water and heating to 70 C. I did notice that the liquid becomes a bit clearer after pasteurization (possibly residual enzymatic activity?).

Overall the drink was very pleasant, slightly fruity but also bread-crust-y. The process however, especially the straining, is very labor intensive and I would love to hear some ideas on improvement.

Hey, everyone! Figured I'd fire up a homebrewing community and see if there's any takers.

I know you're out there, just as I was out there lurking on other similar sites. :D

Come here and brag with your latest creation. I'll start, just brewed an unexpected wee heavy using Eitrhem kveik.

Cheers!
