Does this mean her produce isn’t vegan?
A child’s train does not need fancy shouldered corners. I absolutely love that you took the time and effort to use shouldered corners.
What was so laughable about it? I’ve made some pretty good sugar wash (for vodka/gin) that turned out pretty good. I use sugar and add Weetbix as something to help the yeast (as an alternative to the popular tomato paste). If you’re in America, I’d suggest using the lowest sugar wholegrain cereal you can find. Maybe special-K or all-bran if you have them?
I’ve heard that potatoes are more trouble than they’re worth, as they’re messy and you only end up with a 3-4% wash, so you need way more potatoes and time than you might think.
It is a grainfather! it’s super useful to be able to dial in the power output through the app. I also use the grainfather for homebrew, so it’s nice to share equipment between hobbies. I’m lucky enough to live in New Zealand, the only legal country in the world, so I have no issues having this visible to the neighbours. That being said, I feel like I’d have a go (more discreetly) if my situation was different. The hobby is extremely rewarding.
I usually make gin, so no barrel aging there. I have made a rum from a bucket of molasses I bought, that was aged. With the scale of home distilling is often a case of putting the oak in the spirit, rather than the spirit in oak. It’s to do with the surface area to liquid ratios of small barrels being way too high compared to a commercial barrel.
And I stress the “learn this new Lemmy thing”… My image didn’t attach for whatever reason.
