There is so much science in brewing a great beer, not just a beer. You seem to know what the fuck you are doing and I wish I lived near you so I could taste your brews! 🍻

Thanks man

I think brewing a good beer can be achieved by most if one is willing to learn some basics and(unfortunately) get some gear, but it doesn't have to be expensive. In my view a fermentation fridge is one of the most important brewing equipment to make good beers.

Some yeasts are more forgiving then others, but they can all ruin a beer real fast if they are taken out of they're temperature comfort zone.

Another is oxygen, you could do everything right, mash, boil, ferment and when it's time to bottle, expose the beer to oxygen and within 2 days you're straw yellow
hazy neipa goes from tasting like a basket of different fruits to a brown sludge tasting like old tea bags and cardboard, so a pressure fermenter and a keg to do closed transfer is a game changer, even for beers that are not hop forward(hoppy beers oxidize so fast) a closed transfer will increase shelf life by months.

But hey, I've done lots of tasty beers fermented in a bucket on the floor of my man cave too. Cream ale(lawnmower beer) is an excellent option for doing just that

That's exactly what we're all trying to do here. Everything we do in the process of growing shrooms is based on physics. From using a FFU or SAB, to making grains to creating an environment for the fruit to grow - those are all physics and engineering issues. We can't control biology but we can engineer the environments.

i agree but neil degrasse tyson is a dipshit and the last physicist i would look to

Day 9 for this tub. Brown spots appeared a few days ago. Did seem a little dry when I noticed (no beads on the surface, dry inside the lid and minimal condensation on the walls of the tub) So i misted it. Is this most likely a bacterial contamination or is it possible the brown is just from the surface being too dry? Or am I looking at something else?

Quick question:

I have this spore syringe that appears to be really dirty.

How many minutes should I vent my PC in order to make it work?

Well, then I guess you missed my point, too.

And let's just be real for a minute: there aren't any other living Physicists on your list, are there? You may not like the guy, but let's not pretend that it's because you have "better taste" in physicists. He justs gets on your nerves is all.

I believe my point just went flying right over your head there. I'm not even sure you realize which conversation I was referencing.

When I have an issue with contamination, I don't go fuck around with the nozzle on my SAB mister or try to calibrate the pressure gauges on my Prestos. I take a look at my cultures to see what needs to be cleaned up, and what needs to be tossed.

---

And you clean up that culture by applying physics to create the cleanest environment you can to work in. Physics.
