I plan on following this process:

My girlfriend is a research scientist and she said they basically do the same thing but with a higher percentage of glycerine for their -80 degree freezers and liquid nitrogen so it should work well in a home freezer at the 25/75% ratio. One way to find out though lol
Joined. I’m down whenever assuming I can get back home in the winter weather lol
Your posts are something I look forward to, you’ve got a great knack for writing these articles lol
Yeah, it’s a wine for the girlfriend and I wanted to back sweeten it a bit, it’s just in the keg for simplicity’s sake before I bottle it lol
Appreciate the tip! I’ll have to give it a shot, are there any particular red wine yeasts you like?
That’s actually on my list of stuff to try! I want to make a white wine they tastes like a red wine. I was thinking of using activated charcoal but I think that might remove all the flavors, so it might end up being a brandy that’s then watered back down into wine level strength. It’s lower on the list of dumb stuff to try, but definitely there lol
Probably! I know there’s stuff like gelatin fining and cold crashing as well, I just wanted to try something new and I’m pleased with the results lol
I imagine it should be fine for the filter material and the plastic that it goes into. I pasteurized in my keg at 68 Celsius for an hour by tossing it into my electric boiling pot. I was expecting the glue on it to melt but it held up just fine. The plastic housing of my filter is also pretty thick, though I haven’t heated it up yet but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
This is my setup, it’s basically an in line/whole house water filter that accepts 10 inch filters. I connected two posts that go onto the liquid line of a Cornelius keg. I then use co2 to basically transfer it between the kegs and through the filter. Over all I think I paid like $40 USD for this set up, and the replacement filters are $5 or so.
Appreciate it! I will say I’m also super weird, it’s why I wanted to try pasteurizing this wine in one of my beer kegs vs adding stuff to kill the fermentation before backsweetening. Typically I when I make a beverage I try doing things not by the book, it also helps that I don’t mind having hazy beverages, I just turned a house water filter into a fermentation filter with some random fittings and dreams for shits and giggles and that’s definitely the vibe I take with all my brewing lol
Yeah, to make things more equal here is that wine post filtering held up to the same light as the original image as of a few minutes ago. I don’t think there was any other filtration that happened with it since I kegged it since it’s been sitting in a warm keg in storage after filtration and backsweetening
Trust me it gets worse! I didn’t think to take a light up directly to the unfiltered product, but here you can get an idea of how bad it was pre filter. I imagine the haziness is from the pectin of the mariad of berries I used to make this wine
I use a sena 20s. I’m not sure what the need for a discrete brick is, but if it’s to prevent/deter theft the senas allow you to pop the main unit off with the press of a button, so when I go into stores I just do that and slip it into my pocket while leaving my helmet locked to my bike.
That’s an awesome design!
Went modular recently (scorpion exo 960) and can never go back. Ignore the uh… tomato’s growing in the background, I’m in a state it’s legal to grow in and this was the only pic of my helmet I had lol
Unfortunately, pouring sugar into a gas tank will do just about zero damage to an engine. It might clog up the fuel filter, or maybe the pump, but the engine would be fine. Bleach on the other hand….
Well I’m not them, but for me: KSP1: 1800.8 hours. Current cost $40 = $0.02 an hour DCS: 1294.7 hours. Money spent eh $300 = $0.23 an hour Witcher 3: 1131.5 hours. Current cost: $40 = $0.03 an hour. Civ vi: 589.9 hours. Current cost: $60 = $0.10 an hour Stardew valley: 579.3 hours. current cost $15 = $0.026 an hour Fall out new Vegas: 543.6 hours. Current cost: $10 = $0.0018 an hour
Now if we add in the $2000 worth of peripherals I have to play dcs it’s cost balloons quite a bit but, it’s not terribly difficult to get high playtimes in cheap games. I would also say the cost per hour for me is double or triple what it actually is, as these are the current prices, and besides dcs I buy everything only on sale lol.
Definitely not. I sliced 50 lemons up and fermented just those (everything included) with 12 pounds of sugar or so and the resulting wine was 9%. I didn’t even bother balancing the ph or anything either.
Nothing wrong with liking what you like! And the only distilled beverage my gf likes is gin, which I’m sure means at some point I’ll get a “hey honey you should try making gin” thrown my way lol
That’s a gorgeous bike. Congratulations on making the move from scooters to motorcycles!
