Why post blatantly false, easily invalidated information?

So i don’t know what kit you have or what it came with but here’s everything I would use:
Equipment:
- Star San (make sure everything is sanitized, also don’t rinse this stuff out – “don’t fear the foam”)
- Airlock (and bung)
- Fermenter (I like big mouth bubblers, but your kit should have come with something)
- A spoon
Ingredients:
- Honey (I do 3lbs per gal)
- Water (I use store bought water, because I’m paranoid lol)
- If you’re using fresh fruit, pectic enzyme (this helps break down haze in the mead from the fruit)
- Fermaid-O (this is the nutrients)
- Wine Tanin (optional, for aging)
- Yeast (you can get some cheap yeast on Amazon – I used Red Star “Cote Des Blancs” for my strawberry mead, but your kit probably came with this)
Watch some YouTube videos to get a feel for the process. I enjoy City Stead Brewing, they have tons of recipes and helpful tips. Also, if you’re gonna bottle and stuff you’ll need wine bottles, a siphon and bottling wand, corks, and a corker. You can bottle in swing-top bottles, but I haven’t had good luck with those (apparently they’re not great for long term storage >.>)
Like i said though, for your first mead it’s probably best to KISS. I appreciate being able to get a feel for the process and then experimenting later on. I’ve only made two meads, but have made wine and a LOT of beer in the past – so if you have more questions just lmk!

My advice: your first mead is probably gonna be more of a learning experience. Go to costco and buy a big bottle of honey (3lbs), mix it with a gallon of water, and some nutrients.
Most cost effective way to try it out without blowing a ton of money. My first mead was terrible, and i spent a ton of money on good local honey.
My second mead i spent even more on better honey and strawberries, to apply everything i learned. Came out amazing
jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most lemmy thing about lemmy?7·1 year agoone specific community, primarily one one instance. The concept of “rule” originates on r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post when you visit.
Therefore, its easiest to write “posting because rule” in the title rather than something creative. AFAIK this eventually devolved into just saying “Rule” or some sort of play on it.
jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Tea drinkers of Lemmy how do you brew your cuppa?5·1 year agoCold brew over night, unsweetened
Intermittent fasting. It takes a fair amount of discipline, but if you stick with it past the first week or two it becomes very easy
TBH, from a privacy perspective you’re probably already pretty set – if you wanted to be more cautious you could use disk encryption, ensure that things are a bit locked down (ssh key only auth, firewalls, or find a guide on hardening like this for ex). In terms of your UI, it really depends on what you’re looking for, personally I find GNOME to be the best looking when compared to ease of use but when i made my first switch I started on i3 (but that would be Sway these days for Wayland) and never looked back.
My advice would be to get familiar with Linux as a whole first and then start tweaking things like your UI. It can be overwhelming to get used to the terminal commands (which btw are not necessary but I would heavily recommend as it can make things a LOT easier) and other weird Linux things (software installation, gaming, customization, etc)

I'm asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but4·1 year agoConfused as to what the question is, are you looking for an idea as to which ebook platform is the most usable? In my experience (between Calibre & Komga) Calibre is the champion, its not the one people talk about all the time for nothing

My first thought as well
I’m sure storage environment matters though?
