This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

in what universe is 1.99 a good deal on ice, get some tap water and freeze it

My freezer is tiny. Check your freezer size privilege, man! ;)

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

well wouldn't you need a freezer to store that ice anyways if there is some left?

Welp, no place in the freezer, guess I'll need to have another margarita!

No, I'm American. Every drink is 64 oz and I need 5 kilos of ice for one batch of homebrew beer.

Are you cold crashing when you brew? I brew beer but haven't cold crashed a batch yet. Is there a difference in the taste?

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

So far, I always cold crash to get the impurities/ carbohydrates to fall out of the solution and leave a less hazy wort. I like a gnarly trub in my kettle, before I start transferring to the ale pail/ bucket fermenter. So, I don't know what a beer would taste like without it. I've only brewed ales and lambics so far.

Not all tap water is good to drink. Some people wells or some city water is bad.

Personally I only buy it if the power is out (to help pack the fridge and freezer) or road trips / camping. Where yes is could try to store a coolers worth of ice in my freezer but its just not worth it

Thank you! I feel SEEN. ya leave nice fresh ice in the freezer long enough, it gets funky, especially if it's stored with other food.
