After<br>12 more hours, still very minor bubbles <br>are seen on the top. I closed the bottle tightly 6-7 hours ago and a small <br>amount of CO2 was just released. <br>Waiting a few more days is a safe <br>bet. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704245584/#1:48 2025-04-23T23:47:07+00:00 2025-04-23T23:47:07+00:00 remove the carriage returns in the source code you dirty windows heretic https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720892336/#1:8 2025-04-23T14:28:23+00:00 2025-04-23T14:28:23+00:00 Made a simple batch of pickled cucumbers, <br>Japanese style "asazuke".

Going to <br>wait a few more days before the refrigeration phase to <br>be on the safe side https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:40:51:52:53 2025-04-23T09:39:34+00:00 2025-04-23T09:39:34+00:00 Pretty happy with the yields I got from $14 worth of sugar and trivial<br>amounts of bran, tomato, and yeast.

I notice the guy test <br>ran a "bug" (interesting phrasing) and <br>fermented that further. Reminds me, some<br>tutorials I read added the step of putting <br>the yeast in 55°C water... does this speed <br>up the activation? I once made amazake <br>(sweet fermented rice beverage), and at <br>55°C it was done in 12 hours. Very low <br>alcohol due to such a short fermentation <br>time and the usage of koji rather than <br>yeast... or not? <br><br>As of right now, the bubbles have slowed.<br>Only sporadic bubbles are seen on the <br>top, and a yeast cake has formed on the<br>bottom of the bottle. Could it really be <br>finished so soon? My question at this stage<br>is, when do I pop it in the fridge? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1745364262/#1 2025-04-22T23:24:22+00:00 2025-04-22T23:24:22+00:00 Yo, listen up! <br><br>dat Rust crew's been pushin' hard to get their language into the Linux kernel, but let's take a step back and examine their priorities, 'kay? <br>They're all about Rust, Rust, Rust - but what about the stability and maintainability of the kernel? <br>I'm talkin' about the millions of users who rely on Linux, not just some niche group of devs who wanna play with the latest shiny thing.<br>Take marcan, the Asahi Linux lead, for example. <br>He's been ragin' about the kernel community bein' resistant to change, but when you look at his own actions, it's clear his priority is gettin' Rust into the kernel, no matter what. <br>He's talkin' about burnout, but it seems like he's more burnt out on the kernel community's cautious approach than on actually gettin' the job done. <br>He be pushin new complexities and work on other people who are not interested in his fetish.<br>We're just trying to ensure that any changes to the kernel are thoroughly tested and validated. <br>I mean, come on, they're the ones who are tryin' to introduce a whole new language into the kernel - shouldn't they be the ones demonstratin' a willingness to work with the community and address our concerns?<br>It's like they're more interested in provin' a point - that Rust can be used in the kernel - than in actually contributin' to the Linux ecosystem in a meaningful way. <br>And that's just not cool, bro. We're talkin' about a critical piece of infrastructure here, not some playground for language enthusiasts.<br>So, yeah, I'm suspicious of their priorities. It seems like they're more about promotin' Rust than about doin' what's best for Linux. <br>And if that's the case, then we need to take a step back and re-evaluate their contributions. <br>The kernel community's not against innovation, but we're not gonna sacrifice stability and maintainability on the altar of some new language or framework, either. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1705335928/#1:20:23 2025-04-22T20:50:11+00:00 2025-04-22T20:50:11+00:00 Uploaded to the wiki: https://wiki.gikopoi.com/w/GolemTcl https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1705335928/#1:20:21:22 2025-04-22T20:42:58+00:00 2025-04-22T20:42:58+00:00 idk if you follow BBS but if you ever want golem.tcl published somewhere<br>that could be a good thing!

Leaving <br>the lid on as loosely as possible<br>for the next 18 hours, at least. <br>Oxygen exposure is unfortunately<br>inevitable, as my schedule prevents<br>me from getting a balloon until <br>tomorrow. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:13:16 2025-04-20T08:03:08+00:00 2025-04-20T08:03:08+00:00 Try to fill the bottle so there's only maybe .5 inches or 1-2 cm of<br>air above the liquid. Too much oxygen in the bottle will result in off<br>flavors -- you want as little oxygen as possible to be exposed to your<br>drink. Oxygen is what causes drinks to foul up and once yeast get to <br>work, they don't like it. What an airlock does, aside from letting CO2<br>gas out, is also keep a layer of Co2 above your hooch to protect it from<br>oxygen. <br><br>And if you're too poor to buy a balloon, just SET the lid on top without<br>twisting. Or squeeze the bottle, screw on the lid, then unscrew until<br>the bottle can expand again. Burping the gas every few hours is not the<br>smart way to go about it. <br><br>Short of buying real airlocks and a real fermenter online, these are<br>what you should do if you don't want the bottle to explode and make a<br>disgusting mess everywhere -- which will happen! <br><br>At least with plastic, you only have to worry about the lid shooting off<br>as pressure builds. If you were fermenting in a glass bottle you could<br>have a lot of fun hunting down glass shards. not to mention the sticky<br>mess... <br><br>Fermentation is pretty simple. Clean bottle, some yeast and water, the<br>right amount of sugar and whatever else, and an airlock. You'll get the<br>hang of it. In the future I would recommend boiling the ginger with <br>sugar together to kill off any microorganisms and waiting for it to cool<br>before pouring it in your bottle and topping it off with clean water. <br>Your test run should make something drinkable in 1-2 weeks even if it's<br>not perfect. <br><br>Once your ginger wine has finished fermenting, you can also speed up <br>the aging process by putting it in the fridge for a few days, as cold as<br>you can go without freezing. That forces the yeast and crap down to the<br>bottom more. This is a process called cold crashing. Time is best but<br>cold can help. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:15 2025-04-20T07:40:01+00:00 2025-04-20T07:40:01+00:00 Already starting to notice bubbles rising<br>to the top visibly. Now I worry it <br>might blow up when I'm asleep... <br>we will see! https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:14 2025-04-20T07:21:11+00:00 2025-04-20T07:21:11+00:00 After 2.5 hours, I'm starting to notice<br>the top of the mixture getting bubbly<br>and slightly... foamy? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:13 2025-04-20T05:39:36+00:00 2025-04-20T05:39:36+00:00 Here's an image, a very rough <br>ambient temp estimate is <br>in the desc <br>https://imgur.com/a/OCoYbJ9 https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:10:11:12 2025-04-20T05:26:53+00:00 2025-04-20T05:26:53+00:00 Since summer is on the horizon, it's<br>heating up in my apartment right now.<br>The room is very muggy right now, but <br>maybe putting it in the same room as <br>the gas stove is worth trying? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:10:11 2025-04-20T05:17:51+00:00 2025-04-20T05:17:51+00:00 you only need like 1g of yeast honestly, yeast will double every 90 <br>minutes so adding 10x as much yeast only means you end up saving like<br>5 hours in a 2 week process. But if you're concerned and there's no<br>evidence of fermentation happening tomorrow, adding a dash more yeast<br>won't hurt<br><br>I would not worry about sugar in the grated ginger, it's probably <br>incidental and 100g of sugar per liter is already something easy for<br>bread yeasts to handle<br><br>What you should worry about more in the fermentation process is that<br>the bottle can stay moderately warm. Slower temps, like below 15*C /<br>60*F will make fermentation happen a lot slower; too slow and the yeast<br>go to sleep https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:10 2025-04-20T04:54:13+00:00 2025-04-20T04:54:13+00:00 My worry at this time is that I <br>added too much of the grated ginger,<br>which had some sugar already added <br>to it. Evidently this caused the <br>volume of ingredients to be higher,<br>and I wonder if the amount of yeast <br>I added is sufficient. Forums say<br>that even something as small as half<br>a packet is very strong. Is this <br>sensible? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1744695808/#1:9 2025-04-20T04:47:02+00:00 2025-04-20T04:47:02+00:00 Will update on temperatures and<br>progress soon, and reply to the <br>info post above.
