I use Brewfather it works reasonably well for me, it does seem to be more geared toward people with All-In-One or recirculating systems but I successfully use it with a 3 vessel system that doesn't recirculate, I just don't bother much with doing fancy stuff with my mash (single infusion and a mash out FTW).

You likely have a contamination in your equipment somewhere. Try deep cleaning and pasteurize everything you possibly can, replace o-rings and gaskets etc.

ahh, ok, you said equal amounts of vinegar and whiskey so I was calculating it as being ~1/3rd beer and ~1/3rd whiskey. I'd still recommend just putting your yeast source into hopped wort and letting it ferment.

Interesting. I personally have no interest in making vodka. It sounds more like the reason this turns out well vs turbo wash is due to the lower ABV/not stressing the yeast out as much, vs the tomato paste really doing a lot.

When I do wild captures, I generally put the potential yeast source into some hopped starter wort and wait to see if it ferments. Here's how I captured yeast from decomposing leaf litter.

What's your reasoning behind your process here? Assuming the beer is 5% abv and your whiskey is 40% then your resulting mixture is going to be like 15% abv, that's a really difficult environment for most yeast, especially wild yeast. I'll be surprised if you get anything from this.

This requirement will kick in the moment the system suspects suspicious activity. At that point, reCAPTCHA will forgo the old image puzzles and require you to scan a QR code with your smartphone to prove you’re human.

How is this going to work if you're browsing the internet on your phone??

Tomato paste wash? Did you just happen to have some sort of windfall of loads of tomato paste that you had to use up quickly? Why would you do this?

seems like a waste of honey? can you really even taste the honey behind all of those flavors? Can you just use cheap sugar and get basically the same result.

They might put a million satellites into orbit, but they're certainly not going to be orbital data centers. At least not as we currently understand data centers. The idea that space is cold and therefore a great place to put data centers that get hot is the idea of a stoned moron talking out of their ass. Space is a vacuum, you know what else is a vacuum, the part of your portable coffee mug that keeps your beverage warm or cold for ages, because vacuum is a crazy good insulator. Just because space is cold doesn't mean the heat from an orbital data center can dissipate into it. This dumb idea is never going to happen unless data canter technology improves to the point where they aren't environmental disasters anymore.

I've got some pseudo Sahti on tap. It was on nitro but I lent my nitro tank and tap to my FIL who brewed a Guinness clone for St. Paddy's Day.

For my next brew day I'm planning on a West Coast Pilsner and a fig leaf and chicory Blonde Ale.

are you really going to get much from brett in secondary in a cider? Apple juice is all simple sugars and primary would have completely dried it out.
