Democide. Death by government.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide

You might try venting them, crack the cap just enough to let some pressure out and reseal it. Been down this road a few times.

Some years ago the teenage daughter of a friend of ours needed to make a phone call and couldn't find the handset for their cordless phone. In her frustration she told her parents, "Someone needs to make a phone with, like, a cord that connects the handset to the base unit so you can't lose...

Think I would scale the kit down. Now, doing this, you can probably rest assured your efficiency will skyrocket and you'll end up with an imperial NEIPA. I'd take maybe a half kilo from the kit, do a small mash biab with it, and see what my efficiency is. I'd make my decision then and carry on...

Billions and billions of fish, mollusks, crustaceans, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, bacteria, etcetera crap in our oceans daily. No one complains about that. 😁 At least they crap in their own home.

Neither Biden nor Harris were electable on their own. Matching them up though guaranteed a larger percentage of black (even though Harris isn't truly black) and women voters for the pair. I think there is getting to be a lot of buyer's remorse over this past election. Biden has only one oar in...

Make a test gallon. Once done try diluting it and see what you think.

Get an old fashion racking came and use it to bottle. The inlet on them is certainly higher than the valve you have now. You can even get a piece of copper tubing and make your own. Also, let your beer sit at least two weeks. Three weeks will not hurt it even. I DO NOT recommend an "Easy...

I like S-04. I like the flavor in most beers. It does settle well and sticks to the bottle really well. Only thing I've tried that's stickier is Coopers ale yeast.

I've got an immersion chiller connected to a fountain pump. Pump goes in a bucket which I run tap water into to pre-chill. When down to about 50C I dump ice in the bucket and recirculate this until pitching temp is reached. I get 100C to 50C in around 30 minutes.

Time. What it needs is time. Bottle it and forget about it for a couple years. Time fixes most issues with mead.

After ten minutes of frustration and seriously oxidizing four bottles of beer I trashed mine. Got out my twenty-plus year old, home-made, copper racking cane and was bottling in about fifteen seconds. Got all kinds of recommendations on how to make it work. Figured if it took THAT much work it...

You never know if it's bad unti, its had time to condition. Don't be too quick to expect it to be a dumper.

Product here in the states that I use called "One-Step". It's basically sodium percarbonate. I use it to clean AND sanitize and have never had a problem. Stuff cleans real well. Eats through some tough stuff. Sodium percarbonate breaks down into water, oxygen, and base minerals making it one...

It takes a special kind of brain to deal with American units. This might explain a lot about us Yanks! We'll end up metric, eventually. Back in the late 70's early 80's when we had the big push to go metric there was a problem in manufacturing. We still had LOTS of machine tools made for...

White wheat malt does it for me. I like the flavor it adds too. I do twelve liter batches. Everything gets at least a half kilo. Does not help your clarity. I get more chill haze when using it. I don't care though.

One of the big issues with electric / hybrid cars is the cost of replacing the battery. Battery in a Chevrolet Volt can cost upwards of USD$16,000. If battery swapping means you keep a fresh battery and saved you the cost of replacing it, this could work.

I bet it's fine flavor wise. I agree with the post above, something about the yeast or other ingredients. I've heard of people dropping a piece of copper in their wine to reduce sulfur smells. Google is your friend.

Think I would make it to at least 4% abv then dilute it with boiled water at bottling. Add your priming sugar to this water. Less than 4% abv is just too much risk of infection.

I remember doing some minor scripting stuff on a Digital VAX computer running VMS. Cool thing about VMS at the time was every time you saved a file it gave it a new version number. It kept all the previous versions until you deleted them.
