There are many situations in which a homebrewer might need to propagate yeast using more than one step-up – for example, building up from a bottle of commercial beer, or reviving a smack pack that’s several months old. And while I love Mr. Malty’s Pitching Rate Calculator™, doing two-stage starters with it can be frustrating. One [...] Most homebrewers, once they get seriously involved in the hobby, will make starters for their beers. While the commercial yeast products are advertised as being “pitchable”, their cells counts don’t allow brewers to inoculate a 5-gallon batch of ale at the industry standard rate of about 0.75 billion/L-°P. And the true cell counts may be [...] I really don’t know what all the fuss is about graphic design. This was super easy and hardly looks like crap at all. (It’s also an awesome example of your tax dollars at work.)
This gag would work a lot better if it was an actual pizza.
Suck it, everyone who hasn’t lost 10% of their body weight.
Being unemployed is pretty much cheating.
Background The pitching rate of yeast is generally accepted to be one of the most important factors in fermentation performance and the resultant beer character. The often quoted “optimal” pitching rate is 0.75 billion cells per liter of wort, per degree Plato for ale, and 1.5 billion/L-°P for lager. However, at the homebrew level, commercial yeast [...] Don’t get me wrong, I love SI, but those tend to lack the punch of, say, a Smoot. So, I had to wait 1.8 Freebirds for a treadmill today. I should know better than to go to the gym on a Saturday in January. If a rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 3.2 seconds later and the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how high is the cliff? No need to show your work, but time yourself. It seems like a question that would totally be worth answering for [...] I was a (very) little under pace this week, but it’s also the furthest I’ve ever run. Not bad for the first long run in over a month. Except that I forgot to tape my nipples again and righty actually bled a little. I am a little worried, though, given that three weeks from today I’m [...] So going to crazy lengths to minimize their fuel costs is called “hypermiling”. According to Wikipedia “extreme hypermilers” will do things like coasting with the engine off and running red lights. I’m not suicidal, so to coin a term, I’d rather think of myself as a “supermiler”. I had one of the best days of my [...] So I’ve registered to run a mini marathon (~13.1 miles) in mid-October. The problem is that I’m in pretty terrible shape right now. So this is actually a the-Sanskrit-characters-for-problem-and-opportunity-are-the-same situations. I’m more or less following this program, which seems just barely doable for me, with the exception that my short runs so far have [...] |
