    Headspace eliminator

    Thanks @bearpaw8491 , I somehow missed that. I will try using the sanitizer. Without the sanitizer, I have had them stick after one day.

    Headspace eliminator

    My only issue with the Head Space Eliminator is that you cannot rely on the bulbs to let you know if you have a good seal. The plastic material they are made of is pretty stiff and often holds its collapsed shape even when the vacuum is lost. The only sure way to check for vacuum loss is to pull...

    Low carb wine / Keto diet

    Thanks for this very informative post! I have about 10% (21lbs) of my body weight on Keto and I am pleased with it so far. I wish I was as meticulous about it as you have been. I also was disappointed with the urine strips and now I know why. I think I will try the blood tester. I have been...

    Gallon glass jugs

    Anyone Doing Wordle?

    I cannot find "Wordle Bot" on the NYT website. Yes, I'm a subscriber to the news and the games but still can't find it. Even searched with no luck. Any hints to where I can find this. It sounds interesting.

    Corona Virus & Day to Day

    I can't imagine that the "total cases" figure could be any kind of indicator of where the virus is at. It certainly has a lot to do with the amount of testing being done which is pretty variable. The data points I'm looking for is hospitalizations, deaths, number of vaccinated people per capita...

    Fermentation funk odors

    Yes, I only had it once as well - with Skeeter Pee. I poured it from one open bucket to another and back again. That fixed it but I hated introducing that much O2 after the fermenting was almost done (1.000).

    Fermentation funk odors

    So is the point of splash racking for removing the H2S odor to introduce O2? IOW, it would be better to splash rack via siphoning?

    Fermentation funk odors

    Question: will splash racking under vacuum help or is the point to introduce oxygen?
