Gregory's ServerI thought I could control the power of the yeast. I was wrong.

   @blinry And even worse (or good?), "What doesn't kill the yeast, makes it stronger": @datn @blinry yesterday I checked on the batch of hard cider I had brewing and found that it had somehow achieved a much higher alcohol concentration than the strain of yeast I used is theoretically capable of, and had done it in less than a week. It had devoured all the sugar in the batch and left me with essentially pear schnapps. The ways of yeast are inscrutable.  @blinry Ich habe für mich irgendwann entschieden, dass der Aufwand, Hefeteig über Nacht langsam gehen zu lassen, sich nicht lohnt. Habe es damals in Klarsichtfolie gehen lassen - funktioniert, aber schmierige Angelegenheit. Würde es heute vermutl. mit einer deutlich überdimensionierten Schüssel + freuchtem Tuch zur Abdeckung probieren. sorry für DE, kenne die Fachbegriffe nicht in EN      @blinry 😂 Did you feed it after midnight like I did with Madame Hoppla? 🤣 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-01-ep-04-sitting-with-your-beloved-sourdough/id1630784381?i=1000587422166  @blinry I thought your fridge was a garage for a minute and that was the worst minute of my life.  |
@blinry There yeast no border!
