Only my first comment so far, but I like it! It took a sec to wrap my head around the fediverse concept, but I’m so glad there’s a functional alternative to Reddit that seems healthy, respectful, and functional.

Very cool! Does anyone know if it supports digital hydrometers like the Tilt?

Oh yeah. Some commonly offered advice is to move your hop additions 20 mins back (your usually 60 min go in at 40 mins, your 40 mins at 20, etc). This works, but I found this resulted in too much bitterness and little aroma/flavor for hoppy styles.

I had a fellow home brewer recommend just putting every hop addition, save the bittering charge, directly into the cube and racking the wort on top of it. That’s worked really well for me.

Because it was the successor to r/195, a meme subreddit started by some friends who lived in apartment 195 somewhere. Then it took off, privated itself a few years later, and 196 popped up to replace it and somehow became wonderfully infested with leftists and LGBT.

I’ve heard of people who’ve…acquired…Citra rhizomes. Totally legally, of course.

Is that so? I opened up my IBU calculator and the difference between 40 and 60 is indeed minimal but definitely noticeable for very bitter styles.

Yes to the extended in-cube “whirlpool,” it’s been working well for me recently.
