I think West is doing it for different reasons though. There are a lot of people on the left who are absolutely frustrated watching their rights disappear under a Dem government that refuses to play hardball under a misguided and frankly, privileged sense of decorum. RJK is clearly being funded by right wing clowns to act as a spoiler.

He’s running so that he can become a third party candidate and bleed of D votes in the general.

Adding alcohol to bring your mead to 12-15% and then adding more sugar is the principle behind fortified wine like port. The chemical you’re referring to is sulphites, which are produced naturally by yeast anyway.

Did…did you just try to make this about yourself?

Clarity depends on a ridiculous number of factors. Adding a bunch of non isomerised alpha acids is definitely going to affect that since isomerised alpha acids cross link with minerals (mostly calcium and magnesium) and proteins, precipitating them out eventually, as well as being important in the creation of foam. In addition, unless you used hop oil for your hop bursting, you added a whole bunch of polyphenols which flip polarity depending on the temperature. Some of these are important in the creation of chill haze, but they’re also important in precipitating out the protein that causes it during the boil. Since you didn’t add bittering hops, that didn’t happen and you’ve likely got a whole bunch of haze causing proteins in there.

On the plus side, it’s just beer. If you enjoy it, drink it. Clarity only really matters if you’re trying to compete in a specific style category and even then, it’s only worth a couple points at best.

I used to do a Capn’ Crunch beer which had toasted coconut in it (side note: I hate that beer, but I made it for my wife’s friends every year at their annual bike party). You want to spread it thin on a cookie sheet and toast at 450F, stirring every couple of minutes or so. Once most of it is brown, you’re good to go. If any of it turns black, stop immediately and discard or it’ll taint your beer with smokiness.

Haven’t seen a lesbian specific community here that isn’t just porn. r/ActualLesbians had it’s issues, but it more or less worked.

I told my friends that “obviously women are more beautiful than men”. I didn’t realise until then that I had based that opinion entirely on seeing nothing but statues of women and women in ads

I didn’t figure out until that moment that they were all made by men to tell women what they should look like, and not because everyone agreed that women were more beautiful.

I hadn’t considered that most women were actually attracted to men and you didn’t just pick the least ugly one to marry because you had to.

Looks similar to Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus to me.
