Went outside: WINE CORK IS MISSING. Yes, the squirrel just absconded with my wine cork.

Is it sufficient to hashtag posts involving or mentioning alcohol, or is a CW necessary? (recovering alcoholics have mentioned to me it's helpful to flag these, hoping the hashtag is enough). I know with Mastodon you can set up many keywords and never see any posts mentioning alcohol, and would like to respect folks efforts there without making the posts impossible to see.

The smell absolutely smells of strawberry guava, which is quite remarkable... Very tropical/fruity note. #wine

Strawberry guava (psidium cattleianum) wine made with Lalvin D47 yeast. Smells and tastes great. By taste, probably 12 to 13 percent ABV, probably should measure it for grins. #homebrew #wine #alcohol

Have you tried brewing any of these yet?

- dandelion wine
- ginger bug
- spruce beer
- birch beer

What's the coolest or weirdest stuff you've fermented?

I'm kinda being honest with myself. I don't like #beer. I know dudes are supposed to drink beer, but I don't like beer. It kinda makes me feel a little trashy. I love #wine though.

Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag

A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Strawberry guava wine is successfully bubbling away, the yeast is working! (The rest of the stuff in there is mead. #wine #homebrew

Next is the yeast. Important is yeast dies if it's too hot! So, out comes the FLIR! 29 to 30C is the limit for yeast... #flir #wine

@nixCraft you can also use #wine to run the few #microsoft #windows applications that have no alternatives, such as #heidisql 👍

So, unless I'm doing something wrong (which, please, please, please God, tell me) it seems if you want to get a really good press of liquid out of your grapes (or whathaveyou). You really shouldn't fill up your press to the tippy top. In fact, it seems the emptier it is, the drier the leftovers once you're done pressing.

So I've basically been squeezing ~1 gallonish of stuff.

Which, ok fine.

But my question is: WHY THE HECK ARE THE BASKETS SO TALL THEN?

#WimeMaking #CiderMaking #Wine #Cider

Photo of my press and my finger is pointing to about where I fill the press to in order to get most of the liquid out. My finger is about 1/5th of the way from the bottom. Why's the press so big then?

@krutonium @OS1337 yeah....

Guess why @fuchsiii has a 7950X at her disposal: To compile #wine faster...

@wyatt I still have 3 gripes with what #Microsoft calls #WSL:

1. It's not a "#Windows Subsystem for #Linux", but a "Linux Subsystem for Windows". The real #WindowsSubsystemForLinux is called #Wine, as it provides #Win32 & #Win64 calls on Linux!

2. The "#Unix Subsystem for Windows" aka. "Unix Services for Windows" were to a degree better.

3. "WSL" is less of a compatibility layer and more of a #HyperV - #VM, which also results in issues with #VMware / #VMwareWorkstation and #VirtualBox.

• In short, I'd rather put Windows in a VM on Linux than the other way around...

Scrivener 3.1.6 has been released for #Windows. The update appears to also work when running under Wine.

#Scrivener #Wine #Linux #Writing

Picked some grapes to make wine. 75-80 lbs, or about 35 kg. They are mostly the pink 'Delaware' grapes but there are a few Moore's Early and similar or just Concord from a wild seedling. If the strong grape taste of a Concord is 'foxy' then the pink grapes are not foxy.. in case any wine connoisseurs are cringing. ;) There's more to pick and I'd like to fill up 2 or 3 buckets after removing stems.
