Nice, simple. If you need to help explain it to someone that just doesn't seem to WANT to understand. ;)

Looking up definitions they may well be afoul of the law calling this spirits since it is alcohol free.

Just passing along some info I found interesting while doing some research because my mother had a stroke and is in 'rehab'. They would treat my visits differently if I were "fully vaccinated" so the statistical anomoly between my 'paritial' status and the J&J 'full' status is a little less...

Even before the second dose, BNT162b2 was highly efficacious, with a vaccine efficacy of 92.6%, a finding similar to the first-dose efficacy of 92.1% reported for the mRNA-1273 vaccine (Moderna).3 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2036242 The second dose is about increasing antibody...

I make small loaves so I fashioned a rack I can lower in and use parchment paper on it. My wife doesn't like the bottom if, in her opinion, it gets over done. This keeps it off the bottom and seems to help with that.

For some reason when I looked at the title and saw "degas" I wondered what Edgar Degas had to do with wine making. Now that I'm always going to make that connection I thought I'd inflict it on others. Feel free to add me to you ignore list. :p

I make a 40% whole wheat and am still tweaking. I just moved to another house so I'm getting used to a different oven. I make half loaves. I keep half the dough refrigerated for about a week. This is the refrigerated half.

So 260 million of 330 million are among the first? Math seems right to me. I've had my evening quota of wine and going back for more.

It seems the vaccine trials are going to take a little longer. Could it be that people volunteering for the studies are more likely to be careful to start with so getting to the requisite number of infections is taking longer? Let's face it. I'm willing to bet zero anti-vaxxers have signed...

I got duped by click bait on an article mentioning vaccine efficacy percentage in the title. Of course, none was given in the article. Blind studies means no one really knows yet. Complete fails would probably be weeded out early though because they would already have the requisite number of...

The number of active cases per 100K doesn't sound scary. Then you see the toll it is taking on hospital workers and the families of those that did suffer the worst of it. People still in financial distress. When you are fortunate enough that it hasn't encroached closely into YOUR life past...

So, the de-stemmer is the red machine? The grapes come out of that cutout and roll down the red sheet metal? Just trying to picture how that works. 🤔

If their product ships as shown I'd have to think they run afoul of labeling laws. Do they even have a sticker with an ingredient list on the jug?

Where are you located? Are you looking for local or online?

I keep a 5 gallon bucket of StarSan on hand. But, as a test you could try some vinegar. Depends on what you have. I also have things like citric acid available. At this point you just want to see if it will work. You only need to test one bottle.
