PROBLEM!!!
I took a gravity sample of the Hüll Melon Pilsner. It is at 1.013ish SG which is far too sweet. I raised the fermentation temperature a little to give the yeast a kick in the rear. But right now the beer just tastes sweet and vaguely fruity. Very umemorable... 😭
It is also the second beer with a 100% Pilsner Malt that finishes ridiculously high. Maybe it wasn't lazy yeast, maybe I need to adjust the mashing schedule on the Braumeister. On my old setup, it took…
Somewhere south of Lindenfels im Odenwald, Germany.
Ah, today is the Day of the German Beer.
Time for the annual reminder that the Reinheitsgebot is marketing bullshit.
I found Vienna Lager categorized as a "German Lager" in a book yesterday 😱
Please, beer writers, find yourselves a history book and check out the last time Austria was a part of Germany. You will understand right away why this is a bad idea.
@Erdrandbewohner@social.tchncs.de Weil ich nur mal aus Spaß über die Gewerbegebiete gescrollt habe und tatsächlich meinen jetzigen Arbeitgeber gefunden habe 😅
@Erdrandbewohner@social.tchncs.de Danke, dass du dich für uns opferst.
Meinen aktuellen Job habe ich, weil jemand ein Gewerbegebiet auf Open Streetmap ordentlich kartiert hat 🙂
I mean, if Claude Mythos is what makes people wake up and realize how we produce ticking time bombs with C/C++ and a "Devil may care" attitude towards memory management, that's some progress I guess.

Anyway, I continue to be underwhelmed by the "blessings" of AI.
The 3 phases of me thinking about a Speidel Braumeister homebrewing system:
1.) Long brewdays suck. I should get me a Braumeister to automate some of that.
2.) Yes, it is super expensive but I can swing that and I deserve to buy something fun every now and then. I work hard for that money.
3.) Oh... the cleaning procedure for the pumps looks super unnerving. Nevermind, I'll stick to my rickety Brew-In-A-Bag system… 😅

These symbols include but are not limited to the red triangle emoji and the watermelon emoji.

I will block and/or defederate you if you post or share any of this. And I will not discuss this.
@scandigonian@pnw.zone Yikes! Is that like an aphid infestation and some other insect will come around and take care of this?
