I’ve done similar stuff with fresh evergreen cones, pack em in a jar, fill all the gaps in with sugar, wait for the sugar to suck water out of the cones and produce a syrup. No need to set it in the sun either.
Goes great on pancakes, would probably be a fun addition to a beer as well.
It dissolves into salt water.
Except it doesn’t dissolve, this is not the term they should be using, you can’t just dry out the water and get the plastic back. It breaks down into other things. I’m pretty sure an ocean full of dissolved plastic would be a way worse ecological disaster than the current microplastic problem…
I’ve seen like 3-4 articles about this now and they all use the term dissolve and it’s pissing me off.
You can reuse those caps, the tamper proof loop literally only exists for showing if the bottle has been opened previously, it does nothing to help hold the cap on the bottle.
Last weekend I brewed some NEIPAish beer (pretty rare for me to make anything resembling an IPA but my sister and family are coming for a visit and they’re hop heads) using azacca and strata hops, ten gallons of that so I’ll put it in two kegs and dry hop them each differently, I haven’t decided on what so any suggestions are welcome. Fermented with Ebbegarden kveik.
I also brewed a hoppy grape ale, loads of Hallertauer Blanc at the end of boil and then fermented with Lallemand/Escarpment Pomona yeast and added moscato wine pomace to the primary ferment. I pressed the beer off the pomace a couple days ago as it seemed like fermentation was slowing down. I like to press these beers off the pomace while there is still yeast activity so that the yeast will take up any oxygen introduced by pressing.
could be a Pichia strain?
So is lemmy or mastodon selling shirts yet? if not, why not?
The ultimate extraction would likely be achieved with high proof alcohol. Sugar syrup I think would be less effective than with dry sugar as the dry sugar would exert more osmotic pressure on the tips to draw liquid (and thus flavor) out of the tips.
You can also add them to the boil as you would hops.
