I know there is a beer thread, but anything that takes that much of my time deserves it's own.

Have to be honest, it does not smell nearly as good as you would hope when you are getting everything to boil. House still smells a bit "off".

I don't know what that means.

in a week or so the yeast will settle to the bottom of the bucket/carboy. That's your yeast cake. That yeast continues to work even after the obvious fermentation is done.

Yeast also provides you with carbonation at the bottling stage.

Honestly, I'd say leave it in there this time around and after you're a little more comfortable you can start thinking about filtering or cold-crashing the beer for clarity. The yeast doesn't affect the taste, if you don't like the way it looks pour it into a glass and leave the sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

i think the yeast enhances the flavor and body, especially over the long term

americans are just sissies that thinks worms are icky and spiders are scary

oh and snakes are slimy too

yea but trappist ales are an entirely different kind of beer, brewed warm with a different kind of yeast. not saying yeast doesn't have an affect on taste, it does but my understanding is that trappists get an inordinate amount of taste from the yeast. much more than most beer.

I have a funnel with a filter disc. I filter the wort and then I siphon through the filter into a second container before bottling.

I have a bottling bucket, with a nozzle. I guess that I could siphon into a strainer and into the other bucket.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
