Actually, I remember how I started: I've got a kit and waited for a while with it. Then dumped all of it and just bought fullgrain ingredients, no regrets at all. Starting with a kit seems like harder path with less sure result from my current experience. Maybe it's a way you should consider too?

On top of what other said, there is a trick to plum: they usually ferment quite nicely (I recommend Lalvin RC212 yeast) but the trick is to bottle condition them for 5 years minimum. It is absolutely worth it.
Don't go for lambics though, they are tricky and until you understand exactly why, I don't recommend it. They are totally not newbie stuff. But aim for plum christmas ale, that's very easy and just in time to try!
Refractometers start to be really off once you have fruit juice and ongoing fermentation. I use mine only to see if reading is changing over time, absolute value is easily off by 20-30 g/L
Nice setup!
My neighbour just got too large grapes crop this year and I took some (about a month ago). Juiced them (never tried this before), the juice was 1040, bumped it with honey to 1120 or so, pitched mead yeast, thus now I'm running a similar experiment!
Yeah, I actually worked with a guy who thought it's all a bunch of noncense, and made really harsh jokes about typesafety and ownership rules and such, yet delivered decent Rust code!
Didn't know it has any effect now! Thank you!
As for content, I guess our knowledge groups strayed too far apart, which is totally fine. I still would think that if people posting these links added a few words of their own that would be awesome.
What is reader mode and how do I turn it on for these websites? I got so many invites into some scammy mmorpg websites and dating apps like I haven't seen in last month.
On the other hand, bevy is such a neat general manager and framework. You can run crossplatform parallel async within it, stall things with timers, set custom loop rates. I'm experimenting with using it as non-game frontend, and so far it seems much more suited for fast development than those reactive frameworks imitating js frameworks if something more complicated than simple ui is needed. The gaming community cares for each othes, so sweet. The only downside is 30mb wasm file for prototype level of complexity app, but I haven't even started optimizing yet, and it will not grow much probably once it becomes super sophisticated.
I've been reading about some Pueblo tribe's ritual trip to collect salt from salt plane; there is a rock that's a grandmother of gods of war laying to rest on the same trip and turning to stone, and you are supposed to hump her on the way to pay respects. While your grandma who just explained the rite to you waits and probably watches, idk.
Necessary? Redundant? How are these words possibly relatable to anarchist text? It just exists and is available, isn't that enough?
Even disconnected and incredibly diverse, united only by the tool, it's still a community. After all, we have more in common than some nations! (I still actively think there are fractions of community I hate, and more I don't know about and don't care to know about, but those are parts of social life too, I guess)
And when we talk about abstract constructs like communities, there is no need for conscious will or organizing initiatives. It just happened, just remember to disregard anyone talking about actual organized Rust community as having an authority or something; rationale behind the design principle is the only organizing entity here it seems.
That people create conspiracy theories whenever self-organization happens is natural thing apparently, you can't do anything about it. It's narration knowledge in a sense, and in our postmodern world, it is no more justified than solid scientific model of the world, we just have to accept and live around it, trying to avoid feeding myths is futile.
Another way that prevents bottles from exploding is corking with wine corks slightly slices across to hold a thick thread that wraps around the neck to hold the cork against pressure. It's quite weak seal that should pop before the glass.
My friend once had some bottles of sparkling hard cider bottled like that (naturally explosive), left for a trip in winter (Texas), temperature went below freezing, so his landlord (old redneck lady with confederate flags and deer skulls on her house) went into his place and turned on gas stove. Sure she forgot to turn it off when weather normalized to regular +10C, so when he came back, it was hot sauna with apple flavor, but no broken glass at least!
