Finished my 'try and see' cider batch. Three kinds of apples from the yard, juiced at the juicers, plus a homeopathic 22 g/L pale ale malt. Fermented to fully dry in 17 days at 14 C and 1,8 bar. After that a couple days at 2,5 C to clear it out. Plenty of forced carbonation. Came out a bit mild, like a dry white wine, but that made it easy to drink. Gave most of it away in 3 L bags, because I want to get the vessel empty and get a beer going.
Lesson learned: much more acidic apples next time, and the malt wort needs to be as concentrated as possible so it doesn't dilute the apple juice.
Oon ollut Loviisassa turbiinia purkamassa. Roottori ei ole mikään pikkuosa, oon yllättynyt että tässä edes kehdataan muotoilla asia, että 'varaston viimeistä viedään' XD
...already chuckling at the jaw drop of seeing a row of speed multiplier changes that produces a murderously funky shuffle groove 😁
Couldn't help myself, a little bit of malt went in along with a helping of dark syrup, to the effect of 2 ml syrup per litre of ol' scrumpadillo. Very lively fermentation already on day 6 (at 16 °C). Wishing you the best of luck with yours :)
Couldn't help myself but throw the malt in as well. Also added some dark syrup to the effect of 2 ml per litre of ol' scrumpadillo. Very lively fermentation already on day 6. Best of luck with yours :)
I too did the juicing station run last week. First attempt at cider forthcoming. I'll try a malted cider with 1/6 of the malt I use for beer. That should provide the yeast with healthy nutrition.
This! Made nice labels for the first few batches but surely it's better to keep it craft and sharpie on 😁
nice produce OP!
I just saw one of these at a gathering of 50cc bikes and the owner was away, so I couldn't ask the burning question 'What is this sweet thing?' Thanks for providing the answer :D
nice! you are now on my desktop (two portrait screens with one having the wallpaper mirrored). Let's stare into the radiant void together 8)

You assume correct. It wouldn't be a bad tool for sequencing disco lights and pyrotechnics either, I'd imagine :D
Released my Renoise control scheme
Hello all groovy people –
I released my Renoise controls for the Steam Deck to Steam today as 'RenoiseDeck'. Not perfect, but pretty usable. Here's how:
– Left shoulder button = Edit on / off (Esc). Toggles entering notes. – D-pad = Arrow keys, move around. – (X) = delete. (A) = play / stop. (Y) and (B) = notes C and G for jamming, entering notes, previewing sounds etc.
– Left mousepad = 4 x 4 grid with a chromatic octave of notes starting at C on the top left. On top of of the 12 notes, there's the stopper (Caps Lock) and a couple of useful hex values. Right shoulder button shifts the grid to numbers and more hexes and effect command letters.
– Left hand back buttons: Top = F4 (Copy), Bottom = F5 (Paste). – Right hand back buttons: Top = Alt, Bottom = Ctrl. – Right shoulder button = Shift.
With these, you can: – Shift + arrows = make selection in the editor. – Alt + arrows = select instruments. – Ctrl + arrows = manipulate the pattern sequencer.
– Alt + copy / paste = Copy / paste selection in pattern. – Ctrl + copy / paste = Copy / paste pattern. – Shift + copy / paste = Copy / paste track.
One of the analog sticks acts as a slow mouse for precise control of sliders.

I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.
not entirely answering the question, but hot tip: one can screen the grain to remove the finest flour. adds a bit of labour but i find it's not too bad. this is craft brewing after all 😄
updating right now to play first thing after work 8)
Since we're sharing labels :)
Putting an image on it is absolutely a big part of the fun in this hobby. I'm trying out Red Ale and Red Rye Crystal malts in my next brew, along with a helping of Simpson's Premium English Caramalt and ginger that made my last two batches really nice and sweet.
I'd like this to be extra red, so I'm even toying with the idea of throwing some beetroot in. Any tips for other seasoning that would provide crimson colour?
Exo One, will it run?
I was browsing for new games to enjoy on the lovely Deck. This one looked intriguing, but Steam is putting forth lots of warnings saying it's not supported on the Deck. Anybody out there having tried it?
Hello brewers of Lemmy! Just sharing what I'm doing
I've been brewing for little shy of one year and thought I'd make some content for this fine group and say hello :) Here's what I do, with what it's done with and some little tips that work for me...:
I've been brewing two recipes that I kind of feeled together with Brewtarget the software. One is a pitch black stout style number with caramel rye and coal black Viking Malt roast atop Viking Malt Sahti-malt, the other a light, pils-style number made with a special malt made from a local farmer's select grain and a little bit of Viking Malt's Sahti-malt mix on the side. Both are brewed with a particular fresh yeast (available in all shops and only 0,375 € for a 21 litre brew XD ) in keeping with the Finnish Sahti tradition; the yeast produces strong banana-y esters, but I find that can be controlled to a great effect by brewing under pressure and in lower temps.
In the beginning there was a big kettle and a Brew-in-a-Bag that I got cheap. Then came a Kegmenter 29 l pressure-capable brew vessel and a round drinks cooler that fits the Kegmenter neat. Built a table on top, picked a branch from the woods to hold a Nukatap. Filling bottles happens with the glass funnel with a piece of hose attached, and the big syringe is good for cleaning the lines by shooting hot water down the spout of the tap.
For fermenting, I connect the red Kegland valve that sets a threshold pressure level to be maintained in the fermenter; after that, excess is released through the airlock so that it keeps me entertained :D The setup allows for temperature control during fermenting, I've been experimenting and starting to like 14 °C most.
And what can I say, is it not the best hobby in the world! Cheers :)
My 'sensible use' excuse for owning a Deck: running the music software I know since 10 years old :D
I saw demos of Steam Input over the tubes and figured out I might be able to put together a mapping that makes Renoise the music tracker somewhat usable. I've had great success. Will be releasing the mapping on Steam as soon as I've seen it through some more iterations.
